So much this.
I’m tired of people with no bona fides getting elected to governmental positions. We need to return to competence and qualifications mattering in elections.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

It only took them a year to figure out what everyone else already knew.

The problem with your premise here is the reasons why prices are high, and the fact that the president doesn’t actually want to lower them. He’s just terrible at pursuing his maligned objectives.

No problem.

Happy Friday!

The next time someone tells us they want to “make America great again,” let’s get their definition of “great” first, before they ruin everything.

Seems excessive. Maybe it was a blanket pardon?

Happy Birthday, Leslie!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

There’s an Amendment for this sort of thing.

Fingers crossed.

She has an illustrious career in looking the other way.

This is a rough time to be a person with situational awareness.

Former Norwegian Prime Minister and ex-Council of Europe Secretary General, Thorbjørn Jagland, is currently the subject of an official investigation related to his past contacts with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Maybe US prosecutors could take some notes.

Hey!

It turns out that rock bottom has a basement.
Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

No, but it was the premise of Pam Bondi’s message in today’s hearing.

This says it all.

I watched the entire hearing, and I’m mostly sad that I’ll never get those hours back.

Remember, if you’re losing an argument, just yell really loudly about the stock market.

It’s taking an aggregate of all the current trends and predicting who will take the Senate as a whole.

It was going to be an uphill battle no matter what, but considering how useless Congress has been with Republicans in control, I’d like to see them lose more seats.
