A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Folks, two things can true at the same time.
These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.

National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

As Karoline Leavitt makes a dash for the exit, you can hear the voice of Kaitlan Collins of CNN, saying: "You misquoted Democrats in that video. That's actually not what they said."

Rep. Jason Crow: “Karoline Leavitt is outright lying. Actually, what she said from the podium is that there was an encouragement of disobeying lawful orders. We actually said the exact opposite.”

Not that there's any comparison, but apparently Ghislaine Maxwell is the test case for this, both in prison and not at the same time.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Bari Weiss is Tulsi Gabbard with a byline. With distortions, half truths and lies, she is the Vichy voice who fancies herself speaking Truth to Power, when she truly is just someone speaking to a fascist exactly the lies he wants to hear.

“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
