Facebook pulled this for some reason, good reason to post it. Nixon’s AG John Mitchell served 19 months in a minimum security prison. Maybe they can hangout with Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump cites a murderous war criminal to attack the Nobel Peace Prize committee’s decision. Truly absurd and disturbing. And narcissism of a pathological degree.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.
