I mostly lurk here. Sociologist (retired), feminist, grandma, mom, progressive Boomer. Why are we having to fight for our rights all over again?? WTF?

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

I didn’t think it would be so literal.

Instead of peddling baseless bridge conspiracy theories, the media *should* be talking about how the system worked FAST at every conceivable level and potentially saved hundreds of lives.

It’s incredible that more people weren’t hurt or killed.

@AliVelshi All of them. Thank you.

To end the chaos and extremism in Congress.

We must take an enlightened bipartisan path forward.

@JoyceWhiteVance @TTuberville Makes sense to me.

Just remember: At a time when the world needs us the most, the U.S. is unable to deliver because House Republicans are in total chaos & without a Speaker & Senate Republicans blocked military & ambassadorship nominations. They can’t be trusted ever again. This is all on them.

Sorry to do this, but f*ck you, Tim Scott. Every word of this is a lie. You are a truly unwell, sick, despicable, & evil person for Tweeting this. We both know full well President Biden has NOTHING to do with this. We will never forget this. We will make you find out.

You won’t find a better encapsulation of Nancy Mace’s phoniness than her going on CBS today & claiming her big problem with McCarthy was he didn’t do enough for abuse survivors, then in the next breath endorsing Gym Jordan for speaker. She stands for nothing beyond getting on TV.

Congressional Republican math is complaining about student debt relief while having $987,237 of your own PPP loans forgiven.

It’s a real head scratcher ain’t it?

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Here’s what I want to know: Why did Al Franken and Katie Hill have to resign but Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan are still in Congress?

This. This strikes me as crucially important to this moment:

I’m particularly grateful for the many years I spent in choir as a kid because it mainly taught me that while I’m not a bad singer, I’m not the kind of person who should be singing live on-air. That kind of self-awareness is an enormous blessing.

@StephenM @vermontgmg You don't seem to be a serious person.

[Harry Litman @harrylitman]

Dems reasons for not bailing McCarthy out:

1.voted to overturn election results after Jan. 6;

2.reneged on debt limit deal he had brokered with Biden to placate the rebels;

3.friendly relationship w/ Trump;

4 opened a Biden impeachment inquiry w/ no evidence of wrongdoing

This guy is against gay marriage because of Leviticus in the bible. Does that mean he doesn’t eat pork?

Holy shit!

The FEMA alert just went off. My vaccine injection site sparked all the way down my arm, activating my George Soros Deep State Decoder Ring ™️

My eyes have started to glow; I feel stronger, faster — unstoppable.

Two days before their calamitous gov’t shutdown would rip away food assistance, halt life-saving clinical trials & furlough a million workers, the House GOP recycles Giuliani’s debunked conspiracy theories in a sham impeachment hearing.
A perfect distillation of MAGA priorities.

I have watched this at least five times. I’m not done. This is a work of art by @JasmineForUS Outstanding!

McCarthy could put a bill on floor and pass at anytime with D votes. That was the debt ceiling deal. He CHOOSES not to
