"Our government does not copy our neighbors', but is an example to them. It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few."

Rep. Jason Crow: “Karoline Leavitt is outright lying. Actually, what she said from the podium is that there was an encouragement of disobeying lawful orders. We actually said the exact opposite.”

(Of course Trump is counting on MAGA not to give a $hit if he abused teenage girls. #Disgusting)

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Former Lithuanian Health Minister Aurimas Pečkauskas spent two weeks in a combat zone in Ukraine — working as an anesthesiologist, not a politician. This was his third visit.

He didn't come to give speeches or photo ops.👇

Unlike 47, VP, & Hegseth, Governor Newsom voiced concerns for public safety about the Marines shooting artillery over I-5. Fortunately, he had I-5 closed for public safety. The Marines/Dept. Of War did NOT request I-5 to be closed. One governs to protect the people. The other doesn’t give a shit.

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.
