Historically, members of Congress have jealously guarded their own power and prerogatives, standing the line even against presidents of their own party.

But this Republican Congress just bent the knee immediately, without even a word of protest.

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.
I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

Tennessee State Senator finds out her colleagues are totalitarians. They are making it illegal to vote against Trump's immigration policies.

Clearance Thomas will want a new RV after writing a defense of this.

Before yesterday's crash, President Trump:

- Fired the heads of the TSA and the Coast Guard
- Pushed out the head of the FAA — leaving no one in charge
- Gutted a key aviation safety group
- Pushed air traffic controllers to quit as he purges the government

He's putting Americans in danger.

President Trump just let more than 1,500 violent criminals loose on our streets.

On January 6, 2021, Daniel Rodriguez tased a police officer until he had a heart attack.

Watch the video below to see the January 6 rioters that Republican politicians are calling "patriots."

I feel mislead by all dystopian literature. It's supposed to be a powerful authoritarian government that lords over a cowering population, and and we just need need a few brave acts of heroism to give the people the courage to rise up.

Instead it's just half the country being dumb and mean.
