I jokingly asked why Wendy Carlos never did a rendition of Peter and the Wolf, but it turns out she DID and she did it with WEIRD AL.

Clay Higgins - must have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for that congressional seat.
The vote was 427 to 1

The 1 "NO" vote: Republican Clay Higgins of Louisiana
Rep. @raskin.house.gov has asked for a recorded vote on the Epstein Files bill.

That is occurring now.

Smart move by Raskin.

And NO ONE spoke up. The press corps needs bystander training.
When asked on Air Force One if there was anything "incriminating" in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger at the female reporter's face and said “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.”

I had seen photos but I only just now saw the video footage.

There is no masking it. The man is vile.

For shame Cumberland County Commissioners. Instead of listening to the community that turn d out in force tonight, they refused to end their contract with ICE.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I am ashamed and outraged that as news breaks about the horrors unfolding in Sudan, the US regime limits refugees to 7,500 total AND is prioritizing WHITE SOUTH AFRICANS.

For shame america
I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

Thank you Chicago citizens
This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.
