In the middle of the night, Kevin McCarthy removed Schiff and Swalwell from the House Intelligence Committee.
Kevin McCarthy is obsessed with the two. Why? Because the two have worked tirelessly to expose the truth to American people about the Jan. 6th attack on our democracy.

Incredible and concise thread about the US and Russia and the FBI from scholar T Snyder https://twitter.com/TimothyDSnyder/status/1618309363084718080 (who ought to have left Twitter by now)

If the movie industry stays the, same you’re going to see a lot of films about this 15 years+ from now

Any of these books will intrigue and reveal the living history you’re inside of now, and the hard ethical choices you might be facing, or may come to face soon https://bookshop.org/lists/russia-attacks-ukraine-halting-the-lions-of-war

Prepare. 🕊

“‘You know why I’m standing by him? Because his constituents voted for him,’ McCarthy said”

Um, you do know that they didn’t know he was a liar, right?

This is how you know a party is corrupt: when it stands by and BACKS a known liar who is being investigated by local, state and federal officials for breaking the law.

“Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday blocked two Democrats from seats on the House Intelligence Committee and filled out the GOP rosters of newly created select subcommittees charged with investigating the politicization of the government and the origins of the Covid pandemic.”

He went on to say he could not put “partisan loyalty ahead of national security” — which is exactly what he did.

Republicans do not understand governance. This is how Republicans fail.

The normalization of Greene is absolutely disgusting & a serious error on the part of the Fourth Estate

Every puff piece, every media hit that portrays this lunatic as a Member of Congress worth listening to brings us another step closer to ChristoFascism

I guess nearly 50 years of GOP liars’ trickle down economics that has overseen the greatest transfer of wealth from the masses to the rich in human history wasn’t enough. Now the same GOP liars are really proposing an obscenely regressive 30% national sales tax on all Americans. But the same crooks dare anyone to raise taxes on their obscenely wealthy American paymasters. Citizens United must be destroyed to save our democracy.

raised its minimum wage for all employees to $24/hr & all who work as little as 24hrs/wk gets health insurance. Target will prove: 1. The labor problem isn't people are lazy, it's that they aren't paid enough. 2. More ppl will shop at a store that treats employees right.

For context, roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years actually occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. That's right. 25% of our entire national debt, all during the Trump years.

Derek Chauvin has appealed his murder conviction for the murder of George Floyd. There’s nothing to appeal. We all saw the video of his knee on Floyd’s neck. He deserves to sit in jail.

#Ukraine

Opinion:

With all the war news focusing on the tactical, weapons, and information sphere. What is not getting reported is, in my opinion, far more important. The horrifying abduction of Ukraine children. Their forced relocation to Russia. Perhaps as many as 1 million children, are now in Russian held territories, pulled from their families, or have already been abducted to Russia. They are systematically being told that they have always been Russian, that Ukraine never existed.
