As the Wake County traditional school calendar begins, more buses will be on the roads. The Raleigh Police Department reminds drivers about the rules of stopped school buses. Safety on our roads is our priority!

Me: How much does the military spend on Viagra each year?

Director of Defense Contracts: I don’t have that figured out.

Me: about $41.6 million.

Do you know how many bridges in my District of Pittsburgh could be repaired with that amount?

[Team Katie @TeamKatiePorter]

Each year, lawmakers and defense lobbyists play the same game, pouring hundreds of billions into the Pentagon without scrutinizing every dollar—and it's taxpayers who lose.

Today, I invited witnesses to play JeoparDoD, to win oversight for the American people.

Hillary Clinton was right in 2016, and her words hold true still today. Vote to reelect President Biden.

The Supreme Court’s dismantling of affirmative action has prompted Charles Barkley to change his will to demand that the $5 million he is leaving to his alma mater, Auburn University, will be earmarked for Black students. https://t.co/tBjvRQfega

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Decades before he was among the Supreme Court justices who restricted the use of affirmative action in higher education, Clarence Thomas said “God only knows where I would be today” if not for legal principles on equal employment opportunity measures such as affirmative action. https://t.co/hw6zmj3Iki

I am furious at this cruel and backwards decision by this extremist Court, which erodes the rights of LGBTQ+ people and beyond. And I won’t stop fighting to protect LGBTQ+ Americans from discrimination.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

The Supreme Court had quite a week closing off educational opportunity and equity, dismantling affirmative action in admissions yesterday and striking down President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program today.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The hypocrisy is clear:

As justices accept lavish, six-figure gifts, they don’t dare to help Americans saddled with student loan debt, instead siding with the powerful, big-monied interests.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Justice Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars in lavish vacation gifts from a billionaire who lobbied to cancel the student loan forgiveness.

After the gifts, Alito voted to overturn. This SCOTUS’ corruption undercuts its own legitimacy by putting its rulings up for sale.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Unthinkable.

This fight isn’t over. I’ll have more to announce when I address the nation this afternoon.

WATCH-- @chrislhayes on the case for "Bidenomics:"

"We have one of the strongest economies in the entire world, stronger than any of our peer counties, with higher growth and lower inflation and a booming jobs market. Possibly one of the strongest economies we have seen."

RETWEET if you consider Rep. Adam Schiff an American hero.

[Omar Rivero @OmarRiverosays]

BREAKING: Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff humiliates John Durham, the author of Trump’s phony “Durham report,” during a hearing today by the House Judiciary Committee.

It all started when Durham tried to claim that the Justice Department’s investigation into Trump and Russia was a hoax.

That’s when Congressman Schiff expertly cut Durham off, declaring, “Mr. Durham, just so people remember what this is all about, let me ask you. The Mueller investigation revealed that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in a sweeping and systemic fashion, correct?

This is when the fun began, because Durham had no choice it to respond, “Yes, that is correct.”

But Schiff didn’t stop there, continuing to hammer Durham:

SCHIFF: And Russia did so through a social media campaign that favored Trump and disparaged Hillary Clinton, correct?

DURHAM: The report says yes.

SCHIFF: Mueller found that a Russian intel service hacked computers associated with the Clinton campaign and then released the stolen documents publicly. Is that right?

DURHAM: That report speaks for itself as well.

SCHIFF: Mueller also reported that though he could not establish the crime of conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt, he also said, quote, "a statement that the investigation did not establish certain facts does not mean there was no evidence of those facts," and also appears in the report, doesn’t it?

DURHAM: Yes.

SCHIFF: In fact, you cited that very statement in your own report, did you not, as a way of distinguishing between proof beyond a reasonable doubt and evidence that falls short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt?

DURHAM: Correct.

SCHIFF: Both Mueller and congressional investigations found that Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort was secretly meeting with an operative linked to Russian intelligence named Konstantin Kilimnik, correct?

DURHAM: Yes.

SCHIFF: And that Manafort gave that Russian intel operative the campaign's internal polling data. Correct?

DURHAM: Yes.

SCHIFF: Is it true, Mr. Durham, that Mueller and congressional investigations also revealed that Don Jr. was informed that a Russian official was offering the Trump campaign, quote, "very high level and sensitive information," unquote, "that would be incriminating of Hillary Clinton was part of," quote, "Russia and its government support of Trump." Are you aware of that?

DURHAM: Sure, people get phone calls all the time from individuals who claim to have information like that.

SCHIFF: Really? The son of a presidential candidate gets calls all the time from a foreign government offering dirt on their important opponent. Is that what you’re saying?

DURHAM: I don't think that’s so unique.

SCHIFF: Are you really trying to diminish the significance of what happened here and the secret meeting that the president's son set up in Trump Tower to receive that incriminating information?

DURHAM: I don’t think that that was a well-advised thing to do.

SCHIFF: Oh, not well advised. All right. Well, that’s the understatement of the year. So you think it’s perfectly appropriate or maybe just ill-advised for a presidential campaign to secretly meet with a Russian delegation to get dirt on their opponent? You would merely say that’s inadvisable?

DURHAM: I wouldn’t do it, but it wasn’t illegal, was it? It was stupid, foolish, ill advised.

SCHIFF: Well, it’s illegal to conspire to get incriminating opposition research from a hostile government. Wouldn’t that violate campaign laws?

At this point, all that Durham could respond with a was a shameless “I don’t know.”

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman brings down the house during a hearing on the Republican-led hack attempt to censure Rep. Adam Schiff for investigating Donald Trump.

In the now-viral moment, Rep. Goldman destroyed Republicans for absurdly claiming that they want to "hold members accountable."

"You are the party of George Santos! Who are you holding accountable!?" said Goldman as members of Congress giggled.

"The guy is an alleged and acknowledged liar and indicted and you protect him every day. Don't lecture us with your projection and your defense of Donald Trump. It's pathetic and it's beneath you and it's beneath this body," said Goldman.

In just a few short remarks, Goldman cut right to the hypocrisy at the heart of the GOP. They aren't really trying to hold Schiff accountable — since he didn't actually do anything wrong — they're just trying to score cheap political points.

RT and ❤️ to thank Rep. Goldman — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1.4 million raised from 3,600 of its users.

Today on the floor, @SpeakerPelosi spoke on my behalf, and this is what she said:

"Today we are on the floor of the House, where the other side has turned this chamber—where slavery was abolished, where Medicare and Social Security were instituted—they’ve turned it into a puppet show. And the puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shining a light on the strings.

The only advantage to all of this, is that instead of reversing what we did on the IRA to save the planet, or reversing what we did to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, you’re wasting time."

Kevin McCarthy and MAGA extremists will do anything to distract from Trump's legal woes, and to silence any who stand up to him.

And while they do it, they are wasting the nation’s time.
