Johnson needs to be called out for this.
Massie on Johnson: "He wants to create a provision of this law that would exempt the very people we're trying to expose -- the men who raped these women. He says, 'We'll make sure they are credible allegations.' Is he calling the survivors we witnessed today un-credible? That's the implication"

You can oversee the bloody dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist with a bone saw, and the president of the United States will smile, shake your hand and threaten to pull the license of a news outlet whose reporter asks you a question about it.

The de facto Saudi ruler was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are approaching a high point.

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

I think Americans need to start paying attention to the sex trafficking problem in the Trumpublican party, particularly the perpetrators they are protecting.
mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one
NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Anyone who supports this should never use the word “Christian” to describe themselves ever again.
ICE and CPB plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25. Surround these churches and not let ICE enter! Turn out en masse. Also, get to know your Spanish speaking neighbors if you don't already.

Just stop watching CBS, especially their news programs. I won't even visit my local CBS affiliate's web site.
The Bari Weiss Newsmaxification of @CBSNews is a sight to behold, and marg brennan seems content to go right along with it

I made two soups today: chicken noodle (most of which went to a sick friend) and split pea with smoked turkey. Tomorrow I’m making unstuffed peppers soup. Excess of all will go to the community fridge.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Yeah, we do need to know. And yet they're going after Democrats. Go figure.
Why didn't Pam Bondi investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?! As Florida's AG, Bondi made prosecuting sex traffickers who preyed on children a top priority. Yet for some reason she never investigated Epstein. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/we-need-to...
We need to know why Pam Bondi did not investigate Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida’s AG from 2011 to 2019?!
Was Bondi protecting Trump?!

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

He told a 10-year-old he'd be dating her in 10 years.
He told Billy Bush he's grabbed women's genitals.
He's been photographed and filmed with Jeffrey Epstein.
He's admitted to walking into the dressing room at the beauty pageant he owns. 1/2 🧵

Who's going to tell Trump and Vance that "God Bless America" was written by a Jewish immigrant, Irving Berlin (born Israel Beilin), whose family came her to escape pogroms that destroyed their village in Tolochin (now Belarus)?

Republicans were overwhelmingly getting blamed for the shutdown.
There was no reason for the Democrats to cave to Trump on healthcare, except for the fact that they are wholly owned and operated by the health insurance lobby.
