Collins: Marjorie Taylor Greene—is she someone that you could see yourself working with?

AOC: On what? If she actually wants to support legislation and expanding healthcare… I'm more than open to doing that. But it's not just about talking the talk. We got to walk the walk.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Twenty years of the Roberts Court has wreaked shocking damage. Is the Voting Rights Act next?

Bondi on Fox:
"People protesting immigration enforcement raids were members of what she described as “organized crime” syndicates.

“They are no different than [notoriously violent El Salvadorean gang] MS-13,” she said.

can you imagine? The AG of the US equates peaceful protest w/ organized crime.

Beating up a woman isn’t “really serious.”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

America is living in a bad reality TV show right now as our government refuses to govern and everyday it's a theatrical performance. TV hosts playing Cabinet members. Members are chosen by "camera-ready looks" not qualifications. Checks and Balances are destroyed. Ownership of SCOTUS. #FuckTrump

Mike Johnson: "Let me predict what Sen. Kelly is gonna say on the show. He's gonna give you a long, impassioned speech about healthcare and how the subsidies are so important to make sure people don't die and all of this. Let me tell you something. This is not a healthcare fight."

In a recent study, participants inside fMRI scanners played a game in which they could enrich themselves by deceiving others. The more people lied to other players, the more exaggerated their lies were likely to be the next time around.

There's a woman that you ought to know
And she's coming, singing soft and low
Singing rock and roll
She's a joy to know

'Neath the shadow of her soothing hand
I am free there just to make my plans
Dream of faraway lands
