Dear Media:
When Marco Rubio was the chair of the Senate intelligence committee, the committee issued a report saying Russia DID try to influence the election.
Is there a single one of you with the cojones to ask Rubio about it?
Asking for a democracy.

I just called Speaker Johnson and left a message. No decent person would support or protect a pedofile. He's not a Christian, he's a traitor and a coward.
I'm sure he'd love to hear from you too if you've got a minute.

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

President Trump plans to levy a 50% tariff on all goods from Brazil — the source of about 30% of U.S. coffee imports. This looming tariff threat has sent shock waves through the U.S. coffee industry.

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.
All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.
There is no justification for this.
