This is the most corrupt words to come out of a Speaker's mouth imaginable. The job of Congress isn't to protect the President and his family. It's to provide checks and balances on the Executive Branch. You're damn right we will investigate crimes and corruption. Who moved $180 million in oil futures 15 minutes before Iran announcements? Who has gotten sole source contracts because of their connections to the Trump family? Where did our social security data go when DOGE downloaded it into portable hard drives? Where are the rest of the Epstein files? On and on this Congress has chosen covering up crimes instead of stopping them. That ends in November. @WellmanForMO
It'd be nice to have a Speaker who'd say: "And let them, we have nothing to hide, and they'll look like fools for doing it."
But what he's saying here is: They're gonna uncover a lot of stuff, and you don't want that.
Does anybody else find it odd that SCOTUS ended Roe vs. Wade with the argument that an unborn child is a life worth protecting, yet that same court also decided that pesticide and herbicide corporations have an unlimited right to kill children, adults and the elderly?
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
Massie: "I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections."
It’s absurd that tech companies are allowed to pass off their electricity costs to residential consumers, and spike everyone’s utility bills.
Nobody screams “socialism” when large corporations socialize their costs and then privatize their profits.
They are so afraid of you realizing there are politicians who can and actually want to make your life better and not just collect checks from lobbyists and corporations.
If Joe Biden said he didn't know what he was signing in the Oval Office I think every right wing pundit would have botox melting off their face from the rage
For years now the right-wing has been negging our city, our state, even our country, taking advantage of our anxieties to try and convince us things are shit so that we stop doing great things and hand power to them instead. The World Cup is shaking us from the stupor.
I simply don't understand how the US does not have any mechanisms to stop Trump's physical destruction of Washington, DC.
This country appears completley lawless.
The World Cup fans falling in love with America aren’t in the places MAGA controls ... they’re in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.
