Rand Paul: There is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made... These are outboard boats that, in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times... We don't just summarily execute people.

If it only implicates Clinton, why don't they release it and let him be held accountable?

Yeah, he is showing you who he is. ME needs to learn from PA’s mistake with Fetterman, and move on before they invest any more time and money on him.

It’s a shame, but better now than once he’s been elected and sides with the GOP on every issue.

PA Democrats definitely got hoodwinked by Fetterman. But we learned quickly and will primary him out.

Until then, he can go fuck himself.

Goddamnit, Fetterman.

Just waiting for the announcement that due to the need for constant renovations to the WH, and all the crime in DC, the nation’s capital is being relocated to Mar-a-lago.

Do any of the current GOP Congresspeople or SCOTUS realize that once Trump has all the power, he will dismantle the judicial and legislative branches entirely?

He is already disregarding their authority with impunity; he is SHOWING them that he does not want or need them.

Wake up people!

Thank you, Judge Susan Graber for calling for an immediate en banc review in the 9th Circuit. Yesterday's decision must be vacated "before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur.”

The military has no place in our cities.

Democratic congressional candidates nationwide, feeding off voter fury, are raging against their leadership and vowing ruthlessness against their own establishment.

"I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' kind of girl,” said TX state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “If they go low, I'm going to the gutter."

Enraged Democratic candidates turn on their leaders: "You've got to be able to fight ugly"

"If they go low, I'm going to the gutter," one Democratic House candidate said.

stopICE.net reports ICE raids in real time. It's NOT an app.

(FYI, Google and Apple bowed to pressure from the #fascist #admin of #47 to remove iceblock app).

I know he doesn't give a shit about anything we hold sacred, but still I'm stunned by how, apparently, nobody around him has stepped up and said "Hey, let's pause demolition and not do this during the shutdown because the people might think it looks bad."

The US Marine Corps’ 250th birthday is November 10th, but trump n SECDEF felt compelled to fire live munitions toward California on October 18th during No Kings protests to celebrate?! And the Guv had to close the 5 over their protestations that it was unnecessary.

I’m Andrea Joy Campbell, and I’m running for re-election as Massachusetts’ Attorney General.

My story isn’t just a Black person’s story, or a poor person’s story. It’s an American story, from Roxbury to Princeton to public office.

What media are you looking at, that has the AI video on the front page/top story?

Sounds like IL needs to take a good, hard look at AIPAC’s own Senator Laura Fine. I thought Senator’s loyalty belonged to the constituents of the state they represent, not AIPAC.
