Cassidy Hutchinson is one of the many people on Trash Patel's hit list.

Her "crime"?

She testified before the j6 committee. She was pressured by Trump's camp to downplay what she knew. She did not.

This is one of the many reasons Trash Patel cannot have any role in law enforcement.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs?

Just thought you might want to know.

This is why Republican Senators are going to vote for Trump’s nominees, even the ones they know are unfit and unstable. Because they don’t want to be Lindsey dealing with MAGA in the airport on J7, 2021, after voting to certify the election.

We need to build a new opposition movement that is strong enough and durable enough to weather the attacks coming from Trump and the GOP in the years ahead.

I hope you watch, consider and share.

If the roles were reversed, the House Republicans would hold three press events a day to demand the release of the report and to condemn the opposition for covering up sex crimes.

But most of the House Democrats find partisan displays of politics *icky* so ...
The House voted 204-198 to block release of the Gaetz ethics report. All Dems present voted to release, along with Republican Tom McClintock of CA. Every other Republican present voted to keep Gaetz's violations covered up.

Again, Gaetz is accused of sex trafficking and statutory rape.
