Was he under oath? Because if he can't show proof that these "agitators" are paid, he just lied to Congress. Someone should ask him for receipts on that

It’s crooked. Slowing down clean cheap wind power forces the grid to dirty expensive fossil plants, raising customer costs, sending the money to Trump fossil fuel cronies (big political donors). Payback scheme.

This is the CDC map for homicide rates by state for the most recent year on their website.
Gov. Landry, who leads one of the states in the nation with the highest murder rate, is on television chiding Minnesota, one of the states with the lowest murder rates.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

Quiet, graphic, and completely still.
This Blue Clipper paused just long enough for shape and color to take over, with the background gently muted to keep the focus on form.
If this kind of quiet detail resonates, share.

Trump's illegal military strike WAS NEVER about stopping drugs or democracy for Venezuela.
It's about OIL and how Trump can use Venezuela's oil to get himself and his donors rich.
He is quite literally telling us that. And that's not worth risking American lives for.

Scarborough on what Trump told him during a phone call yesterday: "Joe, the the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil. To underline his point, Trump said his comments were no long on background."

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

New Year’s Eve release should not obscure Jack Smith’s testimony. He collected evidence lawfully, and he believed it would prove Trump’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Tesla’s Robotaxi is crashing roughly once every 40,000 miles so far in Austin, and that's with a human safety supervisor in vehicle.
For comparison, the average human driver in the US crashes about once every 500,000 miles.

The most #CorruptSCOTUS ever.
Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.
Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

I don't think we can ignore the fact that Indiana GOP lawmakers spent months insisting they weren't going to do this and relented less than 24 hours after one of them publicly revealed she was threatened with a pipe bomb.
Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0.
The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18.
