Its wild that Scott DesJarlais (R-TN) doesn’t get more coverage. He’s admitted to multiple affairs with patients while working as a doctor, encouraged a mistress to get an abortion despite being pro-life, and threatened his first ex-wife with a gun multiple times
He’s still been in Congress since 2011
Here's what I know after years of prosecuting corruption: it doesn't fix itself. The only way to stop it is to hold people accountable.
Central Kentucky deserves someone who has actually fought corruption, not just talked about it. Let's clean up DC together.
I didn't plan on running for Congress. I planned on being a federal prosecutor for the rest of my life.
But I watched the DOJ - the institution I gave my career to - get turned into the President's personal law firm. So I resigned.

I hope Americans are paying attention to the fact that while millions are struggling to put gas in their tanks and food on their table, Mike Johnson is fighting to make sure members of Congress can still do insider trading because they only make a measly $174k annually.
.@brotherjones_: "“We still have Democrats were acting like this is early 2000 politics. That world of normalcy is gone. This is a war for the future of our democracy. And the South is the front line in that battle… I would say to the governors and to the lawmakers in those [blue] states that this is a moment to put our morals above our manners. What is moral is to act, not just for us, but for generations who are counting on us, what we do in this moment. I think we're going to be judged not by what we do, but by what we don't do.”
Donald Trump was told by Xi Xinping TO HIS FACE that America is a “nation in decline” and he just sat there nodding in agreement. Then he took to Truth Social to try to say that what Xi “really meant” was that we WERE in decline under Biden (BULLSHIT).
Weakest. President. Ever.
John Lewis was my parishioner.
He had no reason to think that he would win when he was crossing the Edmund Pettus bridge.
But he just kept walking.
We must keep walking.
A lot of folks forget… Texas hasn’t always been red. 🤠
When Democrat Ann Richards was governor, Texas ranked 7th in education.
After nearly 30 years of Republican control, Texas now ranks 40th overall in education & 47th in reading.
It’s past time for a change. 🌊
“The illiterate buffoon will attempt to read Bible verses in an Evangelical stunt on Tuesday, after a lifetime of ignoring all the teachings of Christ and the non-denominational tenets of basic human decency.
I once watched him fly into a rage and storm off a TV set to snort more crushed Adderall, after failing to decipher and read the three-syllable word ‘arbitrage’ off of a cue card when I worked on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’. So his attempts at reading Scripture may result in some unintended blasphemy and bonkers behavior.
I will spare you the other bodily functions involved in his tantrum but suffice to say there was a stop down to attend to his personal needs.
There’s a reason his body man at the time, Keith Schiller, was nicknamed ‘wet wipes’.
Keith was also the guy who stood outside the Moscow hotel room door when Trump was visited by Russian sex workers during the ‘Miss Universe’ tapings in 2013; where the infamous kompromat on Trump’s other golden interests were collected.
Three years later he would be POTUS with an able assist from Vladimir Putin and Fox News.
Not to mention the many millions of Americans who saw in him some sort of savior through their myopic vision of what it meant to be a leader; his crass, unintelligent banter fit right in with the post-Reagan era attacks on liberalism and multicultural progress.
The kind of folks who believed the NRA had their best interests at heart and President Obama was too elitist - and somehow a threat to their way of life with his affordable health care plans and educated, culturally astute embrace of the brilliant cornucopia of diversity that truly makes us a (potentially) great nation.
They liked the sound of Trump’s calliope of Caucasian causticity, so it drones on to this day.
The carnival is very much still in town, but its midway barker is losing its bite.” https://t.co/9wzfHGfDbI
