honestly i think she sees the president's brain melting out of his ears and is navigating to make herself head of MAGA, but if she's ready to renounce fascism then by all means dont let me stop you
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

Clergy getting arrested was a huge tactic in the US Civil Rights era and the anti-apartheid movement. It makes moderates who may not embrace the movement uncomfortable with government repression. It’s a key part of the repertoire for a reason.
Organizers told me that at least 7 faith leaders were among those arrested on Friday.
In a statement posted on X, DHS referred to demonstrators as "imbeciles" who need to "get a job."

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.
