Holding a hearing at 1:00 AM? What is it? They’re hiding? Good opportunity for us to all set our alarms and get up for a little midnight popcorn & airing of the truth.
House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is?
The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.
