“The idea that Jim Jordan and other election deniers and insurrectionists will be determining and investigating what’s illegal, unconstitutional and unethical? Laughable if it weren’t so serious…These House Republicans are just getting started in their bid to distract, push back, change the narrative, exploit their power and try their damnedest to restore and reelect Trump.”

I am out of words.

I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.

Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.

It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.

See it here:

The investigations into Santos will reveal the truth -- but it very much appears that Santos took ill-gotten gains from the defrauded investors of Harbor City, parked them in Devolder, and then used them for his campaign.

Santos is NOT in a good position, let's just say.

Let’s stop calling MAGA Christo-fascists the “American Taliban.” Why bring Muslims into it? American Christianity has its own radical history. In Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, Christians piled weights on top of alleged infidel Giles Corey for 3 days, crushing him to death. We don’t need Islam for examples of extremism.

Trump took hundreds of classified materials to Mar-a-Lago. He failed to comply with a federal subpoena. He returned some documents, but held on to others.

Based on everything we know, none of this applies to Biden.
