AOC: Vance believes fundamentally that what happened to Renee Good is acceptable and what should be ok in America every day and so as far as what a person like that believes, you have to start right there with the person that you're dealing with

The Wyoming Supreme Court just ruled to protect abortion rights! They struck down the state's two abortion bans (yes, two).
I'm so thrilled for the people of Wyoming, but also for all of us—because the decision could actually help abortion rights everywhere.

U.S. takeover of Venezuela is not just about oil.
It's about propping up the U.S. dollar (especially given BRICS threat).
This is absolutely the best explanation I've seen.

Trump's hand is fake. His real hand was removed. The insiders all know it. Signatures with a fake hand aren't constitutional.
I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.
