STANDBY: Sentencing begins in Jan 6 case of Stacy Hager of Texas, for whom the feds will seek 1-year prison

Whoops. Gal Luft, the GOP's new fake Hunter Biden "whistleblower," was just indicted by the Justice Department for arms trafficking, violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, making false statements to federal agents, and being an unregistered foreign agent for China.

James Comer and Jim Jordan's sham investigations continue to backfire.

President Biden: “Since I took office, we’ve seen over 60 domestic manufacturing announcements … One of the biggest is in Georgia. You may find it hard to believe, but that’s Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district. I’ll be there for the groundbreaking.”

@JaMathiasen @BrandiUWright @Rich34452761 You might want to check your facts.
The filibuster was organized by just 5 senators - not the entire Democratic Party.
And the bill still passed.

New prosecutor filings allege Taylor Taranto, the Jan. 6 defendant arrested last week, previously drove a weapon-stuffed van near Barck Obama's house after Trump posted Obama's address on Truth Social.

True patriots don’t put loyalty to their political party above their love of America.

True patriots don’t support an attempted coup.

It’s time to stop letting Republicans claim the mantle of patriotism. They’ve done nothing to deserve it.

Justice Dept to seek 21-months prison for Jan 6 defendant Narayana Rheiner, arguing "Rheiner grabbed a police officer’s riot shield & attempted to pull it out of the officer’s hands. Rheiner and the officer struggled for control of the shield until Rheiner pulled the shield away"

When Republicans pretend to be patriots July 4th weekend remind them that their actions speak more than their empty words.

@har89634115 @FoxNews @AOC A little extreme?
That’s an understatement if I have ever heard one.

WaPo confirms The New Republic: One of the central figures at the heart of the LGBTQ+ rights case out of Colorado that the Supreme Court ruled on this week was a fabrication.

"The court filing in Stewart's name has left many baffled, including Stewart himself, who said he was concerned that the case had proceeded without anyone verifying if the request was authentic." https://t.co/5hgDfWanYj

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

David Weiss, the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney overseeing the Hunter Biden probe, just pushed back — again — on GOP claims that he was unable to bring charges in certain areas and reiterated that he had ultimate authority over the investigation. https://t.co/Oj8IuYFg5y

@BrandiUWright @Bird09637350 @stonejoe09 @DanSiestakey @DittiePE @MikeSington Every state different rules.
Some states have mailing voting w/ 3 envelopes: ballot envelope, and then ballot envelope is placed in an envelope with affidavit. Then that is placed in mailing envelope. None of which can be opened before Election Day. It takes time!

@har89634115 @FoxNews @AOC I get the argument that each side only listens to things they agree with.
Have you actually taken the time to listen her?
