Judge Tanya Chutkan is not messing around. And it looks like the American people are actually gonna get a chance to hear some of the evidence Jack Smith has against Trump. Of course we watched that orange asshole attack the Capitol with our own eyes, but still, this will be edifying https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-2020-election-case-schedule-tanya-chutkan/

@AnOldGuy exactly. Iran is fuelling high levels of negative activity out there and none, absolutely none of it is positive. one thing to remember, with all the billions given to Gaza since self government in 2005, little has gone to social services, health systems, improved boy and girl education and none to the life blood of the Middle East…Tourism. it has all gone to tunnels, weapons, terror training and benefits for Hamas hierarchy…like living in qatar where it is a tad safer when organising a terrorist attack.

You know, if the idea is politicians will suddenly better understand immigration issues if they visit the southern border, my hot take is they should bring cadre of reporters and also visit the countries immigrants are coming from — or, like, hike through the Darién Gap.

“When you send your kids to school there is zero chance they will come back to you ‘a different gender,’ but there is certainly a chance they won't come back at all. Yet some of y'all are worried about the former while shrugging about the latter.”

Thank you @StephanieRuhle for saying out loud that big business gives Donald a huge pass simply because they want the tax cuts.

@flexghost This trope needs to be reversed. Everyone knows that actions speak louder than words. Therefore, the Republicans inaction must mean they want our children shot and killed. There can be no other explanation.

Finally: Top Journo Erupts at Media for Ignoring Trump’s Mental State

Let me get this straight. Republicans are banning books, drag shows, and life-saving gender-affirming care, all to "protect children"

But they're also rolling back child labor laws, blocking gun reform, and passing laws to force adolescents to give birth.

Do I have that right?

If we can get the price for oil down by another dozen dollars a barrel by putting off flying and such, we could put about half of the oil companies in the USA out of business by inauguration day.

That would be cool and I promise that the laid off fossil fuel workers will get my thoughts and prayers.

Florida’s minimum wage is increasing to $13/hour this month. Putting aside for a moment how impossible it is to survive on that, Pennsylvania’s minimum wage is still at federal level- $7.25/hour. Guys, even FLORIDA, the hotbed of GOP cruelty, pays more!

If you live in PA, do all you can to motivate down ballot Dem votes. It’s the only thing that will change this and other ridiculously cruel GOP measures. #uspolitics #politics

Does anyone have a picture of any of the anti-USA protestors cleaning up any of the messes that they've made because all I've seen are pictures of campus maintenance workers having to clean up after those children?

@stonekettle No frickin’ way! It’s gotta be mental illness, or violent video games, or no prayer in schools…

It simply can’t be easy access to high-powered killing machines!
