Two odd moments today already at the U.S. Capitol. A staffer tried to stop me from taking pictures at a news conference outside - seemingly thinking I wasn't a reporter. Then a fellow reporter wanted to ask me questions, believing I was Rep. Paul Gosar R-AZ.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

They should all cover Virginia Guiffre’s book instead! I just read the excerpt they released and oh my god. These people need to be in prison. I’m guessing some of these men are still hurting kids now.

In case you needed more reasons that Trump is a chicken shit, when Biden told to him shut up during a debate, he did and then promptly lost the election. Fuck this nussy-necked, child-raping cretin and everyone who voted for it.

Hopefully. I fault those people. Refusing to choose is frequently, and in particular in this case, a bad choice.

Considering the fact that Antifa means anti-fascism, you would expect for most people to be antifa unless they are, in fact, pro-fascism.

This is basic logic and I don’t understand why we have to keep explaining it.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. NO FUCKING KINGS, NOT NOW, NOT EVER!

–Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems
of government.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,

That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
