Texas GOP Rep. Giovanni Capriglione...the same man who rammed through a six‑week abortion ban...has been exposed: a 17‑year affair and allegedly paid for multiple abortions. These aren't leaders...they're hypocrites in power. If that doesn’t make you furious, you’re not awake.

Blame Mitch McConnell
It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

Josh Hawley acted like he was going to fight the Medicaid cuts that will hurt many thousands in his state - most his voters in rural areas.
Then he ran away.

FWIW, Judge Boasberg accepted the government's word that it didn't have constructive custody of any of the people sent to El Salvador. Bringing Abrego Garcia back basically put a lie to that. Interested in seeing what the response to that will be from the ACLU.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right.
But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.
It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.
