I guess they're just saying the quiet part OUT LOUD now.
"WE'RE GOING TO LIBERATE THE OIL COMPANIES! And, uh, sure, I guess the people there too? Whatever."
Rep. Salazar: "We're gonna be doing a favor to us, to our children, to our economy, to our oil companies to be able to liberate. And to Venezuelans who wants to be free."

How Jeannette Rankin became the first woman in Congress

Y’all. Mamdani did not “charm” Trump. He Jedi mind tricked him. And I think we all need to acknowledge and respect that, for the good of the nation.

One of the most moving moments of my Winning The Earthquake book tour so far was sitting on Jeannette Rankin’s own couch during my swing through her adopted home of Georgia, with the pillow she so fittingly embroidered with the word VOTE.

If only.
The White House press corps needs to embrace its mean girl impulses and just bait Trump like an unstable substitute teacher until he completely loses it.

Kelly thinks it's ok for adult men to rape 15 y/o girls.
Gaetz (allegedly) raped a 17 year old girl.
Trump is hiding protecting child rapists.
The GOP has no moral compass and no bottom to their depravity.
WE THE WOMEN must stand united against this regime of rape.

Daily Reminder: MAGA’s obsession with the Epstein Files didn’t start yesterday. It’s 100 years in the making. Not even Trump can outrun history.

Think it’s about justice? Think again. Read my article to find out the true motivation behind this movement.

“If you’re in a mood to thank someone, thank Amy Shuster.”

That’s how @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com opened The Last Word just hours after the Oversight Committee unleashed the first torrent of emails linking Trump to Epstein.

I’m absolutely in the mood to say thank you. We are in her debt.
Lawrence: In newly public emails Epstein says 'of course' Trump 'knew about the girls'
