Sen. Mark Kelly has released a statement.
"If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies..."

Tyson is one of just a few companies that controls the entire meat market.
Just last month, it paid $85M to settle charges it illegally conspired with other meatpackers to raise pork prices.
Corporate monopolies are great for executives and a raw deal for everyone else.

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $22.7 million last year.
The week before Thanksgiving, he told 3,200 workers in Lexington, Nebraska that they're losing their jobs.

Cassidy's refusal to call out RFK, Jr is just so cowardly-especially since he's a doctor and fully understands how dangerous Kennedy is
But Trump likes RFK and Cassidy likes the power his position as chairman gives him, so he won't say anything negative

TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?
CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Sask has one single giant Liberal riding covering half the province, Alberta has 2 Liberal ridings, and BC has 20.
How do PM Carney, Smith, & Moe expect to drive yet another publicly-funded oil pipeline thru B.C. when Carney only won those 20 BC Lib seats last time by 0.7% of the vote?
