The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Raskin: If this were to pass, this astounding provision would give eight Republican senators a personal payday of at least a million dollars each, paid for by the U.S. Taxpayers at a time when we are throwing millions of people off of their health care…

Here they are, the Senators that can sleep at night with their Cadillac healthcare plan while 42 million Americans are denied AFFORDABLE healthcare.

Fetterman we expect, but @kaine.senate.gov we supported him for VP!
He’s the most disappointing of them all!

When you're a sociopath and get angry that someone else's medical emergency, just four feet away, drew focus from your gloating and you forget which lie you were on.

Mike Johnson knew about Dick Cheney's death and had a statement ready right after the news broke, but ask him about a new policy Trump announced or something he posted or said the day before and he doesn't know anything about it.

I don't get Medicaid.

I’m not on food stamps.

I rely on no Social Safety nets.

But I still believe in FULLY funding these programs.

Why?

Because I'm not a cruel ruthless selfish piece of shit.

Good to know that Fox segments determine our foreign policy as well as domestic, and provide most of the cabinet appointees.

East Wing of the White House gets torn down without approval and not a peep from Republicans.

Tear down a confederate statue, though, and you’re “destroying history!”

Kinda tells you what side they’re still on.

I wish Pete Buttigieg would go on Fox News regularly to tell their viewers, in the Pete Buddigieg way of explaining things, what Trump has done to their health insurance premiums, cuts to Medicaid and why they are paying higher prices for everything.

Don’t let RW media control the messaging.

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?
