WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:
"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

A year ago, I launched my book #OnFreedom in a war zone – in Kharkiv, Ukraine, 35 seconds from Russian artillery. Today, I'm launching the paperback in Portland, Oregon. Which is NOT a war zone. There is a difference in the real world between what's a war and what is not, and between truth and lies.

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

Once again, as intentioned by the founders, religion should have no role in Government.
Expressions of or religious displays from elected officials in the course of their Congressional work, should be a disqualifier and cause for impeachment from office.

I wish I was as diligent, steadfast and committed to anything as much as the media is committed to NOT saying or writing "the president lied" in the face of the most obvious flat-out lies.
