Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

Republicans are now asking what they should do with Trump.
Here's an idea: what would you have done if it were Obama? Do that.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Electoral politics as we know it will not lead us out of this. We are too far gone now. Instead, we need to look at the nonviolent paths other countries followed to free themselves from authoritarian regimes. Turn off cable news, turn down social media, and pick up these roadmaps and guidebooks: 1/

“Two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress & declared: ‘No one has died’ because of his govt’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: ‘No children are dying on my watch.’

That, Taher says, ‘is a lie.’” tinyurl.com/zfxe4v2v

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) — Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family’s food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.

On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.”

That, Taher says, “is a lie.”

“I lost my son because of the funding cuts,” he says. “And it is not only me — many more children in other camps have also died helplessly from hunger, malnutrition and no medical treatment.”

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

We know Pam Bondi accepted a $25,000 donation from DJT and then dropped the Trump U investigation. Did Epstein make a similar donation to not be investigated when she was Florida AG? @wyden.senate.gov
