With all the republican lies circulating these days I just wanted to remind everyone the longest serving republican House Speaker in history went to prison for abusing children as their wrestling coach.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Yep

The reported exchange of CIA intelligence from Jared Kushner to the Saudi Crown Prince, along with subsequent actions such as the "corruption crackdown" in Saudi Arabia and the approval of nuclear technology transfer, indeed raises questions and concerns.

While it's important to note that these claims come from credible news sources, further investigation is necessary to establish the full context and motivations behind these actions.

Such investigations would help shed light on whether there were any connections or arrangements that influenced these decisions.

Transparency and accountability in matters involving international relations and national security are vital to ensuring the public's trust and understanding of government actions.

[Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow]

This is false. And grotesque politics amidst a horrible situation. Facts:
1.Not ONE PENNY of that money has been transferred. All still in Doha.
2.These funds will NEVER go to Iran.
3.The money can ONLY be used for future purchase of humanitarian supplies.

No friend of Israel would politicize this attack.

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

Let’s unpack this irresponsible nonsense.

The US released some of Iran’s own money to a third party, to be administered by the third party for humanitarian efforts.

Not a single American taxpayer dollar was sent to Iran.

Now they want you believe since Iran had access to some of their own money for humanitarian aid (which they were not going to pay for anyway), they MIGHT HAVE, COULD HAVE, MAYBE freed up some of their non-frozen funds to fund the Hamas attack on Israel.

Quite the gargantuan leap, with no evidence to back it up, as usual.

The “stark truth” they want you to face is a bald-faced lie.

@TamieUSCongress Answer: Yes.

[Tamie @RealTamie]

Do you think Jim Jordan should be barred from running for re-election or just thrown in prison for obstruction?

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

@MayoIsSpicyy It’s not a long wait.

@kornpopdog FACT: Bud light still sells hundreds of millions of dollars in beer every quarter.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

John Fetterman just left this 30-pack of Bud Light in front of House Oversight Chairman James Comer's office door in Congress:

He then posted this:

"This morning, I directed my staff to deliver a gift to congratulate and salute Representative Comer and his Team America™️ squad as they embark on their historic impeachment journey."

Do you think he will drink it?

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

If House Republicans fail to do their job and fund the government, everyone in America could be forced to pay the price.

We reached a bipartisan agreement this summer.

House Republicans: Stand up to extremists and do the job you were elected to do.

[Just Jack @7Veritas4]

Scott Hall was the first RICO defendant to flip today, pleading guilty to five counts of conspiracy to commit election interference.

He will not be the last.

[MichaelThomas @ThomMichaelThom]

@YoungCoDems @krassenstein @RedWave_Press Even some of the new sucky ones are there because of our two-party system. Boebert and Margorie were the only Rs running in districts that elect Republicans consistently.

With a system like that, jerks and incompetents can easily slide into office.

[MichaelThomas @ThomMichaelThom]

@YoungCoDems @krassenstein @RedWave_Press Agreed. We also need a robust political system instead of this two-party duopoly

Having only two entrenched parties is really the main cause of all the trouble in our political system

If we had a robust system we wouldn't need term limits. The bad ones would get voted out.

[Call me Volodymyr. Young County Democrat @YoungCoDems]

@krassenstein @RedWave_Press Term limits are a bad idea. Legislation is complex, if you have perpetual newbies in office they are dependent on un-elected staffers, consultants and lobbyists, who grow in power over time.
You're better off educating and informing voters and encouraging new blood.

[MichaelThomas @ThomMichaelThom]

@tmartin1438 @krassenstein @RedWave_Press The Tea party has given us real-world experience with having the old guard shoved aside for "new blood" -- those newbs created this whole sequestration and government shutdown nonsense, for example.

[MichaelThomas @ThomMichaelThom]

@msmcph @krassenstein @RedWave_Press Oh my god, talk about creating a revolving door between corporate america and public sector service.

This is how the military industrial complex already operates.

[Tweeperazzi @kscvann]

@krassenstein @RedWave_Press Nope. They r not the way to go - you’d lose ppl that know their stuff & have the network needed to get it done. Age restrictions are fair. We use them for all kinds of stuff. Why not here? Get rid of elections every two years. Congressmembers spend too much time campaigning.

[MichaelThomas @ThomMichaelThom]

@ChanaFeinstein @krassenstein @RedWave_Press The root of our problems politically is that having only two parties is basically a trust, or a duopoly. Two entrenched self-serving parties control all discourse.

[MichaelThomas @ThomMichaelThom]

@ChanaFeinstein @krassenstein @RedWave_Press Term limits only empower lobbyists and corporate interests (which is why the idea gets floated in the first place).

We have elections. If a Senator is not serving their constituents they need to be replaced at election time.

We need a more robust multi-party system.
