🇮🇷 At least 35 people have died during protests in Iran

Another 1,200 have been detained, AP News reports.

Joe Scarborough on his call with Trump:

"The president's response, 'Joe, the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil.'

"'In 2016, I said we should have kept the oil. It caused a lot of controversy …this time we're going to keep the oil.'"

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

What a disgrace.
Scores of now-pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists will gather from 11:45am for a march to the Capitol starting at the Ellipse.

One insurrectionist who says he's attending: Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to prison until 2045 until Trump intervened.

With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

Mike Johnson’s razor-thin House majority took three hits today — Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation, the unexpected passing of Doug LaMalfa, and the hospitalization of Jim Baird following a serious car accident.

With Tom Massie fighting hard with leadership, the Republican margin shrinks to ONE.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.

We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.

We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.
