Josh Hawley went to Yale Law School (alma mater of the Clintons). He knows that there is no comparison in the conduct of Biden and Trump re classified docs. When he says that "the double standard here is astounding," it is in fact his intellectual dishonesty that is astounding.

Hillsdale College is waging an all-out war on public education. They advocate for taxpayer funding through "choice" to finance religious schools and end the evil progressive ideology represented by public schools. https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/184718 #Politics #Education

"I think people are saying this will be mild. It’s not mild. Do the math: With 400 or 500 deaths a day, that’s getting up to 150,000 to 200,000 a year, which is four- or five-times higher than the worst flu season. That’s not good. Even without 2,000 to 3,000 deaths a day, we’re still seeing a lot of hospitalizations, a lot of long COVID... There will be generations dealing with long COVID. The impact on young adults and young people will be profound." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/renew-houston/health/article/Peter-Hotez-COVID-XBB15-variant-vaccine-booster-17707273.php #COVID19

VIDEO Ugandan health officials and the country's WHO representative have announced the end of a deadly Ebola outbreak that started in September

House R's now ready to take up 2 abortion measures. One condemns attacks on pro-life facilities and churches (what attacks you might say?); the other forces MDs to care for infants who survive an abortion. Both obscure, won't pass Senate, & just a way of flying the pro-life flag.

Benjamin Netanyahu is clearly demonstrating why the deep mixing of religion (regardless of which religion) and politics is lethal to democracies and minority rights, and in fact the destruction of democracy is often the very reason that such a course is pushed by fascist politicians. This doesn't apply only to Israel, but to the entire planet, including notably here in the U.S. as well.

The Republicans in NY have stood up and called on George Santos resign. Shame the Republicans in DC can't manage to even pretend anger or outrage at Santos' lies.

"How was the date?"
"Well, when we got back to their place, they said, 'let me get into something more comfortable,' and started shedding their human skin."

Millions of Americans continue to get health care through the ACA despite republicans’ decade-long cruel crusade to kill it. Say it with me: #BidenBoom

Unlike the GOP who stupidly refused to participate on the #January6th Comm (Cheney/Kinzinger excepted), the Democrats confirmed they WILL participate on all the new select committees the Republicans are now teeing up.

Ask yourself why a group of #billionaires whose sole purpose is to slash #taxes and
#PublicEducation was anywhere near the GOP House Speaker deliberations.

Because THAT'S who the GOP really represents. #ClubForGrowth

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complain about increased IRS funding, remember that the richest 1 percent of Americans evade $163 billion in taxes each year. That’s who the GOP is protecting.

Glad to see President Biden,
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Justin Trudeau advancing regional progress on migration, climate and economic development.

Last term, my House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee convened key discussions about joint development work. Looking forward to ongoing conversations in the new term.

Rep. Adam Schiff today:

“Republicans claim without merit that this committee will investigate the so-called weaponization of the federal government. But what it’s really intended to do is to undermine the legitimate investigation of Trump’s incitement of a violent attack on this building, on this Capitol, on this citadel of democracy. An investigation that implicates some of the very members of this body who want to sit on that committee.”
