Remember when Mike Johnson refused to swear in newly elected Democrat, Adelita Grijalva for 50 days???
Lindsey Graham died Friday & his sister has already been sworn in.
This is just one example of what we're fighting for in the midterms - a return to democracy & fairness.
“used his office to intervene on behalf of donors since taking office last year- In at least three separate instances, the attorney general’s office got involved in a legal battle days or weeks after a donor gave $25,000 to Uthmeier’s campaign.”
Make the corruption stop!
Now 🇷🇺 is firing more and more ballistic missiles against Kyiv 🇺🇦 knowing that 🇺🇸 and others aren’t sharing Patriot defense missiles any longer and production of new takes a long time. This should be a priority discussion at @nato summit in Ankara.
Donald Trump Jr. helped take an online retailer known as the “Amazon of guns” public last year. Now, GrabAGun, where Trump Jr is a shareholder and board member, could reap a windfall from lax gun laws.
The fact that three justices tried to end birthright citizenship, which was put in place to undo Dred Scott, makes this the most evil Supreme Court since the one that upheld slavery
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth want Congress to approve their "Department of War" name change at the Pentagon, which could cost taxpayers up to $125 MILLION!
My amendment would stop this absurd waste of money. You shouldn't be on the hook for the President's vanity projects.
How do we fix Social Security? If we lifted the payroll tax cap to ensure everyone pays their fair share, Social Security would be solvent for decades.
Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire, but he pays the same into social security that a teacher does. Pay your fair share.
This is the reality that millions of women in anti-choice states are facing, enabled by the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision to repeal Roe v. Wade.
The chaos and delays created by extreme abortion bans are putting women’s lives in danger.
It's actually tragic how completely unnecessary this all is. Trump literally had to do nothing but let the existing plans take place but because of his ego (and desire to profit off of everything), he had to have his OWN celebration. And since it was planned by Donald Trump, it's just a pathetic, hollow shell of what it should be.
It could/would have been truly great but Trump ruined it, like he ruins everything.
Like, a real big fair with real representation from every state would be super cool. Instead, you get this haphazardly thrown together slop that is legit worse than your average state fair in any state. It's an embarrassment.
BREAKING🚨 The woman who accused Harvey Weinstein of r*ping her just walked away from the case — not because it wasn't true, but because the system broke her before it broke him.
Her name is Jessica Mann. She has spent EIGHT YEARS testifying against Weinstein. Two grand juries. Three trials. She told the same painful story over and over, sat through cross-examination about the most traumatic thing that ever happened to her, and never once wavered.
This week, she said she couldn't do it a fourth time. And honestly, who could?
Read what she wrote to the court: "The court gave so many privileges to Harvey Weinstein that it makes accountability nearly impossible. I have not had power or position in any of this. I have not had great wealth, nor have I had my own long-term legal representation."
And then this, which should stop you cold: she said pursuing justice "is better left a pipe dream."
Let that sink in. Not "I made it up." Not "it didn't happen." A woman who told the truth, consistently, for eight years, finally concluded that the system is so stacked toward a rich and powerful man that justice was never actually on the table for someone like her.
To be clear about what this is and isn't: Weinstein is still in prison. He's still convicted of sexually assaulting another woman in New York, and of rape in California. Prosecutors said plainly they believe Mann. They called her brave. This isn't him being cleared. It's him being protected by exhaustion — by a process designed so that a billionaire with endless lawyers can outlast a survivor until she simply can't stand up again.
That's the quiet way powerful men win. Not innocence. Attrition.
Putin is really one of modern history's greatest monsters.
His country was already facing a demographic crisis and now he's basically sending every adult male to die for his pointless, insane war.
Russia is completely screwed for the future.
EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump is eager to seize the Smithsonian, and Lonnie Bunch, the secretary of the institution, has continued to defend it. But, @ClintSmithIII reports, Bunch appears to be inching closer to leaving. https://t.co/YksxxXPOZg
And this is one of many reasons as to why it’s a bad idea to spend more than a billion of Florida’s emergency response funds on detention centers like Alligator Alcatraz. You eventually need those funds on emergency response, like combatting wildfires.
