I agree because she had BIG MONEY before becoming a congresswoman. I'm not sure what's going on, but she will always be MAGA to ME!! Her billionaire friends may have dumped her at the demand of TRASHY trump.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

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."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

The interesting part of this (and similar actions by other "journalists", talking heads, and even a few Republicans) is watching them start to build themselves off-ramps and plausible deniability.

Not something we'd see if they think Trump and those around him are untouchable.

They are starting to see the writing on the wall and they are all trying to pivot and slink back to the right side of this. Hoping that no one notices or calls them out.

Perhaps Gov JB Pritzker, being equally concerned for the safety of Texans, would see the need to deploy IL NG to park their tanks on Abbot's front yard. Run their engines at night.

It seems that some of the Texas troops are missing.

Agreed!! They want to be treated like a human again after dragging us, our family's, and our country through this hell. Let them get that through reincarnation. Bc I'm not forgetting or forgiving. Every 80yrs in this country. The cycle of Nazi needs to end this time. Permanently.

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

I have to agree. trump has no cause to prosecute Comey (or anyone else, for that matter). However, although we mere humans cannot see/predict the future, it serves us all best to always do the right thing...those consequences of & b/c of our acts/decisions (made 10 yrs ago) can be disastrous.
