The bishop who went viral yesterday reminded me that Americans will always stand up to power, even if the media and billionaire class are afraid to.

It gave me hope.

House Ethics Committee says no agreement reached on releasing Matt Gaetz report
Former Rep Matt Gaetz is in the Senate today as part of his DOJ confirmation process
