NBC almost makes this sound like it’s some sort of scandal. Let’s pay attention though and be clear: He reported the earnings and the public STILL HAS NOT seen Trump’s taxes.

Now, where TF are the #Epstein files⁉️

Gov. JB Pritzker won $1.4 million in Vegas playing blackjack

No one! It's what Locke called the dissolution of government. The Constitution has lapsed, and political power returned to the People, who (as Jefferson said, paraphrasing Locke) can create a new government for themselves

I agree. Also, insurrectionists are not legally allowed to hold federal office. A majority of congress is not eligible to be there. Same with SCOTUS. Same with President.

No, we don't want "free" healthcare.

We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.

This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

Vance obviously knows this, of course, but the path he chose requires continual public performance of his moral bankruptcy

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia.

But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

The voting rights act is the Crown jewel of the civil rights movement. Republicans have done everything they can to destroy it for over a decade. If they really wanted to get rid of it, they could vote to repeal it.But they don’t have the votes so they use the courts.

Nothing could be more racist

Because no one except billionaires, the blindly bigoted, and buffoons actually vote for Republican policies.

Reveal @revealnews.org · 6h

Based on yesterday's hearings, the Supreme Court's GOP members seem ready to destroy the Voting Rights Act, which is exactly what @jamellebouie.net told us in August:

“The notion that everyone deserves equal access to the ballot...has never really sat well with the political right in this country."

Why Conservatives Are Trying to Kill the Voting Rights Act - Reveal

On this week’s “More To The Story,” New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie examines the conservative movement’s yearslong effort to challenge the right to vote across the country.

Hanging on the wall in Ohio Republican Congressman Dave Taylors office.

His aide, Angelo Elia, was so used to having it there he forgot to take it down before hosting a Zoom.

We warned you, this is who they are.

If Rep. Rob Wittman of Virginia thought he could hide from his constituents by hosting a virtual town hall, he was sorely mistaken.
