This is a map of U.S. District 2 AZ. Approx. 59,000 square miles. Now, you would THINK that it’s a geographical possibility that Eli Crane the U.S. Representative for this area would live here.
But he doesn’t. He lives outside the district. This IS legal in AZ.

Maybe you can send $500 million worth of bitcoin on a Sunday night, but most Americans are trying to figure out which bills they can pay with their last $50.

Trump is in the files.
He "knew about the girls."
He spent time with the victims.
He was involved in the coverup.
He was "the dog that hasn't barked."
The government can no longer be complicit in this coverup. Release the files.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

And yet, the solution is simple. Medicare for all. A single pay system. Eliminate Insurance Company control. Save Billions. They can still sell supplements.

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

That’s why we’ll be working to unseat both Republicans as well as corporate Democrats who have kowtowed to the Trump agenda and replace them with Working Families Party champions who will fight to lower the cost of living and guarantee health care for every family.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

I've wanted to see more of this for a long time. And I'd love to know if there is any longitudinal data that could tell us whether the public has become less informed over the years.
I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

My gut sense here is that Rs didn't think this would become an issue, then got pot committed to a terrible precedent just so they won't admit they were wrong.
Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has now been waiting 36 days to be sworn in to office — setting a new record that any member of Congress has had to wait following a special election.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos
