Rep. Robert Garcia: "We should not be scared of what's in those files. We don't care who you are, how powerful you are, if you're in politics, what party you are, the amount of money you have — if you've committed these horrific crimes, it should be out to the American public."

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

Hey Greenland, why are you letting Americas planes land there?
Why don’t you deny Usha Vance and the crew landing clearance?
Fight back now or don’t be shocked when you can’t

Three days ago Trump took away my non-existent security clearance…. At the same time his cabinet was texting top secret plans with a member of the media on board.

The popular DNA test kit company 23andMe announced yesterday that it has filed for bankruptcy and is looking for a buyer. And while the company has promised to continue protecting customer data amidst a possible sale, Wirecutter’s tech experts think you should delete your data now.
23andMe Just Filed for Bankruptcy. You Should Delete Your Data Now.
23andMe is up for sale—which means your data is, too.

Trump isn’t just acting like a president—he’s acting like a king. From forcing bad deals on Ukraine to calling himself "LONG LIVE THE KING," his delusions of grandeur are more dangerous than ever. It’s time to wake up and push back.

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word:
If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.
