This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

JD Vance shamelessly lies: "You have a woman who aimed her car at a law enforcement officer and pressed on the accelerator. Nobody debates that. I can believe her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it's a tragedy of her own making."

"Her death was a tragedy of her own making." That's a direct quote from the VP of the United States about the death of Renee Good.

Kennedy says he does not know how many people died of Covid and whether the vaccines prevented Covid deaths. “The problem is they didn’t have the data,” he said.
In fact, the data are readily available.

He is intentionally avoiding a huge swath of his constituents because their county is democratic-leaning. Going to a town with 200 people, without also going to a town in the county that has 30k+ constituents, doesn’t deserve applause.
At a time when Congressional Republicans are generally opting against town halls, Missouri Rep. Mark Alford is embarking on a four-day, 15-stop tour to meet with constituents.
The GOP is shying away from town halls. This Missouri congressman is doing 15 of them
