If my math is right, the crime rate for pardoned insurrectionists is roughly three times higher than that of immigrants.

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

For four months, one man decided we were at war. Today, the House said no. We passed a war powers resolution ordering our troops out of Iran unless Congress votes to keep them there. Not the President alone. Congress. The people’s representatives.

Van Hollen to Marco Rubio: "This is your first public hearing since President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu launched an illegal war against Iran. Netanyahu said he's been waiting 40 years to do this...he finally found a president who was both stupid and reckless enough to join him."

This is a direct challenge to the most powerful court in America.Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen has introduced six articles of impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts, accusing him of leading a Supreme Court that has crossed from constitutional judgment into political protection.

Maybe WE THE PEOPLE, class action as a country, should establish an extrajudicial private prison with no due process for the government personnel (from the ICE line to the Presidency). Remove their health care, feed them maggots, take their freedoms & rights. See if they can bribe their way out.

crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect

Just an idea: maybe instead of mistrusting doctors, scientists, and data, let’s start aiming that mistrust at RFK Jr. and other ill-informed “healthfluencers.” Thanks.

JACOBS: I have one last question for you. Who won the 2020 presidential election? MARCO RUBIO: I'm not here to answer about 2020 JACOBS: It seems like you have an issue admitting facts, just like you couldn't admit the shoes the president bought you were too big RUBIO: The florsheims fit fine

I Fully Endorse this Statement…. “I don’t just want ICE abolished. I want these thugs behind bars. I want the men getting rich off their concentration camps in prison for life.”

As long as Democratic leaders are considering approving ICE funding if reforms are made, I won't be contributing. The only sane path forward is a complete termination of all ICE facilities, operations, and agents. There is no scenario where ICE is acceptable. I will not live in a police state.

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

don’t know a ton about government financing. And even I know the President isn’t supposed to have tax immunity and his own government-funded slush fund. How is this happening in broad daylight?

Nothing like doubling down on an appalling statement by a president. Congratulations to the 77M fucking idiots who elected this fuckwit. Hope bankruptcy is chasing you.

Buttigieg on Duffy: "I love roadtrips. I love America. I actually took a taxpayer-funded roadtrip lasted about 7 months. It was in Afghanistan. This is something very different. To make roadtrips unaffordable & then go around celebrating your own roadtrip is actually why people are frustrated about"

No one in this regime will face federal criminal accountability unless we reform the Supreme Court first. That's what folks should be running on. That should be the lesson of the Jack Smith prosecutions: it doesn't matter who the AG is.

Now we are hearing from Sky and Amanda Roberts. Sky is the younger brother of Virginia Giuffre. He explains that Virginia was only 16 years old who had just finished 10th grade when her sex trafficking by Epstein began. Her abuse began just down the street from this hearing.
