Jim Jordan accused the FBI of being weaponized against conservatives. Jerry Nadler accused Jordan of running interference for Trump. Nadler also mocked the idea that FBI led Christopher Wray was dedicated to bringing down the GOP on bogus charges.

Sen. Schumer should start scheduling confirmation hearings for individual military officers due for promotion, beginning, of course with the highest ranking officers. All day and all night, through weekends and vacations, to get around Tuberville’s hold on mass confirmations. The Senate would have no time to do anything else, forcing McConnell to do something about this jerk from Alabama.
In the states banning abortion after six weeks, it seems the only recourse for women will be to get pregnancy tests every week! Ovulation and missed periods are not precise enough events to be counted on. Contraceptives are not 100% foolproof. Of course, abstaining from sex - which has been suggested by anti-abortion legislators - would also work.
Would Trump’s lawyers have made the same case to delay - indefinitely! - the documents trial if he were polling down in the Nikki Haley range? Of course they would. In other words, just declare you’re running for president, and you can’t be prosecuted for federal crimes. Ah, but there’s a state (Georgia) case that Trump would have no power over, even if he wins the election. Sorry, Donald. The wheels of Justice grind ever so slowly, but they’re finally coming for you.
And we close out our #WriterWednesday blog crawl and demented diarists' disco with our credo: feed an author, leave a review.
@LadyZurk The Freedom Caucus has never cared for McCarthy, and MTG aligned herself with him. And I guess her set-to with Boebert recently was the last straw.
Although my dad was born on the 5th, we always celebrated him on the 4th. A true American hero—82nd Airborne, he fought the Nazis hand to hand in the Battle of the Bulge.
He later served in the Honor Guard lovingly laying his comrades to rest. Here pictured after a 4th of July parade with his only sibling who is 101.
He would have been 98 tomorrow and continues to be a constant source of strength, courage and determination as first generation ANTIFA.
I carry on the fight.
@johnldeboer Consequences of selling out. Integrity is like virginity, you only get to lose it once.
