Does anyone besides me check their phone first thing in the morning to see if the orange menace died overnight?

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

So disappointed in Murkowski. I am betting she is not sleeping well and deservedly so

Unbelievable. We have felons running the country and our President is the worst of them
"As violence erupted, his charging document said, he told other rioters who were attacking law enforcement officers, 'Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!'

He then raised his arms in celebration after breaching the Capitol in a face mask... and escaped through a window..."

When we say we hold the powerful accountable, this is what we mean: the state will make a database of nearly 60,000 businesses getting tac rebates secret on June 30. So we compiled the data to keep it publicly available.
Lawmakers are attempting to hide who’s receiving $1.5B in tax refunds. We won’t let them • Tennessee Lookout
On June 30, the names of businesses that received over $1.5 billion in tax refunds -- like FedEx -- will disappear from Tennessee's website.

Nothing says America like Donald Trump bulldozing in the rose garden and erecting a ballroom using migrant workers.

My Representative Pete Stauber got fed up with Five Calls so he closed several of his offices and only has the Hermantown office open. My last call was about rescission and the email I got said he was particularly proud of the foreign aid being eliminated that woke liberals had passed. Christian?

Evidently Mike Huckabee has a direct line to God. He told Trump God wants us to attack Iran. 😳

Arresting a 17-year-old on his way to volleyball practice, here since age 5, or a Missouri mom of three at a routine check-in after 20 years in the U.S.—this isn't justice, it's cruelty.

And, yes, ICE agents should be ashamed of themselves.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?
