THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.

What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."

Lindsey Graham on Joe Biden (2015):

“If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person, you got a problem because what's not to like? He's the nicest person I think I've ever met in politics. He is as good a man as God ever created."

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

If we’re going to claim that character matters in public life, then it has to matter every time. Not just when it’s convenient. Not just when it’s the other side. A democracy can’t survive on selective outrage. The rules either apply to everyone, or they’re not rules at all.

Perhaps someone could secure an umbrella to shade him and offer a glass of water. With a little help he might be willing to move.

Reagan had a different view on immigration. It’s the American view.

What I saw in Cuba was beyond cruel.

The American people do not want the Cuban people to suffer at the hands of our government. It is high time we end the blockade.

It’s no surprise that folks are coming to visit the Best Big City in the nation.

[Jay Inslee @JayInslee]

It cannot be humankind’s fate to surrender to a future of unbearable heat, hotter and hotter each decade as we sweat and suffer.

We are smarter than this.

Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies in April were up 130% from the year prior.

Farmers in Illinois and across the country are staring down a farming crisis. Congress must act to help our growers regain access to their export markets and bring down costs for fuel and fertilizer.

The #IPCC 2021 #ClimateReport says, "some recent hot extremes observed over the past decade would have been unlikely to occur without human influence on the climate system".
