Ossoff: "We would be naive to not expect dirty tricks. This man tried to steal the presidency when he lost it the first time, and that's why we are going to mount an unprecedented effort to get out the vote and defend voting rights."

America desperately needs a functioning and independent House as a check on Trump’s chaos and mania. It will never have that as long as Mike Johnson is Speaker. Every vote for a House Republican is a vote to give Trump unchecked power for two more years.

Massie: "What's happened it seems is that the US attorneys and/or the FBI have redacted documents, given them to the DOJ, and then the DOJ hasn't done their diligence to go get the original documents."

The Summer Games includes several events based on or derived from combat, therefore the Winter Games should include an event based on snowball fighting. This could be team, 1v1 or target-based.

Khanna: There were two rounds of redactions. There was the original FBI redactions… and they did a second round of redactions at the DOJ. What they’re showing members now is the unredacted version of the DOJ’s redactions—not the original FBI redactions. They’re in blatant violation of the law.

The question I would have followed up with is, "Why don't you know that information?"

This administration fakes ignorance to avoid accountability. But if your agency has killed people and abused people, and you can't say if anyone has ever been fired, that's damning all by itself.
SWALWELL: How many ICE agents have been fired for their conduct under their leadership?

LYONS: I can get you that data

SWALWELL: Is it more than one?

LYONS: I'm not going to speak about personnel actions

SWALWELL: God, I hope at least one person has been fired. Two people have been killed so far

A lot of people made fun of Bush dancing with the West African Dance Company—and sure, it's funny—but this was good.

Middle aged white guy unfamiliar with something culturally nonwhite recognizes it's a happy, fun celebration, and welcomes it, participating though awkward.

That was much better.

Now we learn the billionaire owner of a bridge that will compete w/the new Canada-MI bridge met with Lutnick right before Trump issued his threat to shut down the new bridge. The Trump admin is a lawless mafia gangster extortion racket existing to enrich oligarchs at our expense.
