Marjorie Taylor Greene comes out with a statement opposing the raid on Ilhan Omar before Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic Party

Considering that every Democratic politician and liberal pundit needs to go on record in disavowing Hasan Piker, should the same standard be held towards Kid Rock after these comments? Especially since he is fully campaigning for Mike Rogers right now?

Kid Rock goes full Islamophobic bigot while talking about Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I know he looks assimilated... I would be very careful. Guess who else assimilated? The Fort Hood shooter. Guess who else assimilated? Pilots that flew airplanes into our World Trade Centers!"

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Check out the very end of this, where a completely humiliated Eric Schmitt is red-faced with his hand shaking visibly.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

For 15 years, over 90 psychiatric hospitals across the country have violated a law giving patients access to emergency care, with or without insurance. Almost all the facilities faced the same lack of consequences, a ProPublica investigation found. (Published Sept. 2025)

Trump and Republicans radically raised health insurance premium costs -- doubling them on average -- and so 5 million Americans who used to have health insurance now can't afford it. More than half the people who have this kind of health insurance live in GOP districts: www.npr.org/2026/06/26/n...
