The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

What the Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez mega-rallies are really about
The two progressives are bringing energy to a party that has been exhausted and furious in the second Trump era.

I will not sit through a circus of lies.

That man is so deep in his own delusions he thinks gaslighting the country counts as governance.

Grateful to have heard from U.S. Representative @raskin.house.gov this evening...speaking directly to a room full of democracy-loving county officials. I appreciate his fight on the house floor, and let me also say he sure knows how to command a room. Solid speaker. *I'm taking notes on that part. 📝

Making more calls, hoping for a meaningful response by my (R) congresspeople to a letter I recently wrote, and still checking to see if any common sense is coalescing on the hill yet across that damn aisle... to see if any conservatives have decided to defend the Constitution & their own powers yet.
