Nancy #Pelosi became one of the highest-profile elected #Democrats to go public with her concerns about No Labels’ third-party presidential bid.

“No Labels is perilous to our democracy,” she said. “I hesitate to say No Labels because they do have labels. They’re called no taxes for the rich. No child tax credit for children. They’re called let’s undo the Affordable Care Act.”

I honestly have no idea if this was a hate crime.

I do know that anti-Asian hate crimes have become more frequent even since Trump started using anti-Asian rhetoric to distract everyone from his failed COVID-19 policies.

Asian-Americans who still vote Republican are rewarding the very people whose rhetoric resulted in this increase in anti-Asian violence.

The term "self-hating Andy Ngo motherfuckers" comes to mind.

Neil Gorsuch's mom: "EPA administrator Anne Gorsuch Burford announced to eight Reagan Administration officials she was holding back federal funds to clean up a toxic waste site near Los Angeles to avoid helping the Senate campaign of former California Governor Brown, a Democrat. When Congress charged the EPA had mishandled such toxic waste Superfund sites and demanded records, Gorsuch refused and became the first agency director in U.S. history to be cited for contempt of Congress."

NYP:
Hamas leader shows why no cease-fire is possible

Top Hamas official Ghazi Hamad couldn’t be more clear: If the terror group isn’t... wiped out, it’ll repeat its horrific Oct. 7 savagery against innocent Israelis “again and again” — until the Jewish state is completely destroyed.

Hamad made the threat explicit last week

...as Gazans suffer...Hamas’ gunmen shelter in tunnels, Hamas’ top leaders enjoy luxurious lives far from Gaza...

31 Democrats voted to keep George Santos in office.

what are these people smoking.

George Santos keeping his seat in Congress is the biggest neon sign inviting any and all who wish to lie and grift to become tax paid liars and grifters at the leisure of other tax paid liars and grifters. We, the people, are being ignored.

He says he didn’t understand the papers he was signing, even though he is Executive Vice President of the company. Also, he says he is a real estate broker, so he should understand how valuations are done, and how wrong their properties valuations were.

Although in a way I can believe him, because I don’t think he has one actual useful skill.

"It shouldn’t even have to be said, but obviously, someone who threatens to run over peaceful protesters with their car should NOT hold public office, let alone be in the Virginia State Senate."

If the House won't expel Santos, whom would they expel? No one, clearly.

Calls for the destruction of Israel and the elimination of all Jews isn't against their policy?

Somewhat surprisingly, no one in the GOP tried to table the resolution to expel Rep. Santos. So now there’s an hour of debate. Usually, there are two members who get half the time and each of the people they recognize speaks on the same side they do, e.g. the member for a resolution recognizes others in favor and vice versa. However, Santos, who is leading his own side, just recognized Rep. Goldman who’s speaking against Santos. Reporters say the chamber is mostly empty too.+

What? Masks work, you say? Imagine that. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2811136
