🚨🚨HUGE NEWS: Rep. Jamie Raskin has just requested that Chairman James Comer subpoena any and all documents related to Jared Kushner's firm receiving billions of dollars from Saudi Arabia.

Comer, who is the GOP Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, has already acknowledged that "what Kushner did crossed the line of ethics," will need to prove that his interest in ethics extends beyond the current President's son.

Rep. Raskin's letter to Comer specifically references receipts for billions of dollars "shortly after Mr. Kushner left a senior White House position he used to reshape U.S. foreign policy toward Saudi Arabia and the Middle East in Saudi Arabia’s favor—a request you have thus far allowed Mr. Kushner to ignore and defy.”

Do you believe Ivanka Trump, who cleared $640 million because of her White House position, should be investigated as well?

They'll look you dead in the eyes and say "slavery wasn't oppression based on race," then call you "irrational" when you get angry.

Indeed is offering trans employees $10,000 to help relocate to safer states.

If Mitch McConnell were to retire, he'd receive a senate pension of over $150,000 a year. Don't tell me that $1200 a month in UBI would cause us all to stop working when the offer of $15,000 a month isn't enough to get Mitch to call it quits before his final horcrux is destroyed.

Wild how triggered Sexton was after he shoulder-checked @Justinjpearson and Pearson didn’t back down. What an unhinged hothead this speaker is. #KremlinCameron

Canada has issued a travel advisory for LGBTQ+ travelers to the United States, citing hostility in certain states, laws that target LGBTQ+ people and trans people in particular, and a threatening political climate.

This is what it has come to.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Today my colleague was shoved by the speaker and another member. Then I was blocked from leaving the House floor. These maga republicans are goons and bullies and are a danger to Tennesseans. They have no understanding of leadership or integrity. TN can and must do better.

Why is pharma suing to stop President Biden from lowering prescription drug prices? Follow the money.

Januvia, Merck's diabetes drug, costs $547 in the US but just $16 in France.

Eliquis, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s blood clot drug, costs $561 in the US but just $63 in Germany.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

FRIENDS: Can we get 1,000 quick replies and retweets to get #DemocratsLowerDrugCosts trending so everyone knows that President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act is saving money by allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prices?

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Just now Rep Cepicky and Rep Fritts refused to let me leave the chambers. I asked multiple times, loudly, and they refused to move so I could get out of the chambers. #BulliesAndThugs

JUST NOW — #KremlinCameron @CSexton25 SHOULDER-CHECKS Rep. @Justinjpearson on his way out after abruptly ending special session so Dems couldn’t talk… literal physical contact…

[Jared Sullivan @JRSLLVN]

The TN House cleared spectators from the chamber. Tennessee is run by the smallest men in America.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

And importantly: he was on topic. @CSexton25 is wielding his power like a tyrant, and the House Republicans are right there to back him up.

A 21-year-old white supremacist man armed with a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 rifle with a swastika drawn on & a Glock handgun shot and killed three Black people at a Dollar General store in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida.

Our country’s lax gun laws enabled this horrific tragedy. It is far too easy in America for white supremacists to arm themselves with military-grade weaponry and carry out targeted, deadly violence.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

On Instagram, @Justinjpearson points out during the commotion Rep. Ron Travis (R) could be seen recording on his phone — a violation of the same rules they used to punish @brotherjones_ 🤔

Are the rules only for Dems, @CSexton25? #KremlinCameron https://t.co/szTz0C2WcA

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Let’s not forget that GOP Gino Bulso was also called out of order twice, no vote to silence him taken. Not surprising, they only apply consequences when Democrats supposedly break the rules. GOP eroding democracy.

Morgan Moore, a 17-year-old trans boy, died in 2022 as a result of criminal neglect from his parents, which resulted in worsened health issues.

Morgan's death marks the at least 39th violent killing of a trans or gender non-conforming that year.
