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

Republicans: Stop calling us Nazi fascists!

Also Republicans: Anyone who disagrees with us should be sent to a gas chamber.

When the next generation of your party is more repugnant than the current generation, it’s proof positive your ideologies are deeply toxic and un-American.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Kudos to dozens of airports across the country that are refusing to play state propaganda.

John Solomon didn’t stumble onto a secret — he recycled one. The Jan 6 committee’s phone-metadata subpoenas were public and reported years ago. This is how the right keeps the outrage machine humming: rename oversight as spying, erase timelines, and sell déjà vu.

John Solomon’s “discovery” about Jan 6 phone records isn’t a scoop — it’s a rerun dressed as revelation.

Cant believe this is what they are focusing on, when they aren’t even able to keep the government open.

I wish I had a Sunday morning MSM show where my guests were Kristen Welker, George Stephanopolous, Dana Bash, etc. I'd show them all the clips where they let politicians evade and don't ask followups. I want to know if they're under orders not to push too hard. 1/

Take, for example, Stephanopolous and Vance this morning. George: "Did Homan keep the money?" Vance: "He didn't take a bribe" FOLLOWUP - "So you're saying he DID take the money but it wasn't a bribe? Why was it cash in a paper bag?"

MSM: "Who is the leader of the Democratic Party?" Every mealymouthed Dem politician: "We have many leaders."
I'm waiting for the first one willing to say "You're looking at him (or her) and if you show up for my speech at the No Kings rally I'll prove it to you!" Somebody step up damn it!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.
