If only she had that the integrity and the guts to take advantage of the opportunity
As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

If Congress is condemning Socialism, does that mean they are going to end corporate welfare?

This is lunacy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is, at best, an environmental lawyer. He has no experience or degree in medicine or science.

This is tantamount to me, an English major, giving NASA a Post-It outlining how they should revise their entire approach to the astrophysics of dark energy.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”
7 Allegations Against Meta in Newly Unsealed Filings
Court filings allege Meta tolerated sex trafficking, hid harms to teens, and prioritized growth over user safety for years.

I'm convinced he doesn't know the difference between fascist and fashionista...
Reporter: “Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?”

Mamdani: “I've spoken about–”

Trump: “That's ok. You can just say yes. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind.”

And when the refs miss four a half they should be replaced.
The refs are calling too many penalties in USC/Oregon, they're mostly correct but I don't care, you get four a half and you're over the limit

Trump is fucking Ukraine. I’m ashamed to be represented by this regime. People fighting for their lives and country and this government sides with the aggressor. Sad.

I agree that Mamdani is a rational person... what surprises me is that the trumpquat recognized that.
Today is the best day is a long, long series of horrible days ever.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

“Plead the Fifth” regarding what??

Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her.

Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her.

What is seditious behavior? "Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch." What an irony that Trump thinks this should be punished with death, since that's exactly what he was found guilty of for "incitement of insurrection" in his second impeachment.

With his Epstein panic, cognitive deterioration, and violent rhetoric spiraling out of control, Trump is now openly embracing authoritarianism — even fantasizing about killing political opponents.

This is not normal.
This is not safe.
This is not democratic.

Trump must be removed from office.

(She's already convicted of crimes against young girls how can she incriminate herself further?

I hope they call her anyway let her declare her opposition to responding in public, so all of us can hear her refuse to incriminate herself (or more likely Trump and others).
Interesting. Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers says she will plead the fifth if forced to testify to Congress. But she willingly sat down with Todd Blanche? What a load of horseshit. www.politico.com/live-updates...
