Fani Willis knows how to cut through the lies and BS like a pro. 👍
Fani Willis has no more fucks to give‼️🔥💥🔥Listen as she goes scorched earth on State Senator Greg Dolezal (R-GA) who is running for Lieutenant Governor. He’s questioning her about bringing the case against Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election. This is how it’s done!

Trump announces his golden ballroom may now cost $400 million, which is double the original estimate of $200 million.
This comes as Americans’ health care premiums are set to triple in the next few weeks.

Responsible gun legislation should be decided by and for the American people, not the gun lobby.
the gun lobby only partially accounts for failure to enact national common sense gun laws. We cannot ignore the role played by a reactionary ideology antithetical to US progress and reform, badly ignorant of our history and dependent on judicial fiat to get its way.

Never have there been more truer words.
McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."

All of this makes perfect sense except one small thing.. what exactly is “Republican leadership”?
Unemployment is at a 4-year high, costs are rising, and Republicans failed to stop healthcare prices from skyrocketing.
Democrats now have enough bipartisan support to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits for 3 years.
Republican leadership must bring this bill to the floor NOW.

Please explain to me why we need the permission of the perpetrators to show us the evidence of them murdering non-threatening human beings at sea?
The killing of shipwrecked survivors at sea is a textbook violation of the laws of war.
If Hegseth is so proud of the killing of these survivors, the Pentagon should release the full video, just like they have with other boat strikes.
The American people deserve full transparency & accountability.
