"...Schiff said, is that “on Jan. 6, you had Republican members of Congress challenge the electors from their own states; claim that the ballots, which elected Joe Biden were fraudulent, when they were elected on the same ballot.”
Morning Joe singles out his friend Joe Manchin: ‘Joe, why don't you get out in front of something for once in five years and start talking about what you can do and instead of what you can't do? Because all you ever talk about is what you can't do."
Right after voting to approve his appointment to the Supreme Court,... Senator Susan Collins swore up and down on national TV that Brett Kavanaugh wouldn't overturn Roe v. Wade.
How'd that work out?
Contact the Sec'y of State in your state and ask if they plan on using paper ballots this Fall. If not, demand that they do. I asked my Sec'y of State in MA and all precincts have paper trails. My precinct has always used postcard quality paper ballots that are scanned to count.
And even if McCarthy does eventually prevail, the chaos gripping the House GOP is just a symptom of a larger problem. The Republican Party isn’t really a governing party anymore. It’s an incubator for right-wing celebrities. Republicans didn’t even bother writing a new convention

Georgia, if you want to loosen Trump’s grip you have to pry away his fingers. The GOP in the Senate are his fingers! Weaken his grip by flipping the Senate! You vote for all of America on Tues, so please don’t let us down. Make Trump as irrelevant as he has made you for 4 yrs.

"Anonymous has claimed that it successfully infiltrated Russian state TV to show citizens the devastation of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. It also leaked emails and files from govt agency Roskomnadzor, responsible for censoring Russian media..."
The line, and all the people patiently waiting in it, is a symbol of resilience and perseverance. It is a reminder that people will work hard to overcome obstacles to accomplish things they deem essential.
I agree. Charlie Baker has been a calming presence using science to work with communities around stabilizing C-19 cases. I am a life long liberal Democrat who respects this GOP governor. And he signed into law the right to vote by mail for all MA in 2020.
The lawsuit was filed in Minnesota — and the Minnesota Secretary of State just announced that he will remove Trump from the ballot if the Minnesota Supreme Court rules that he can. Legal experts are already saying that this will create a “domino effect”
BREAKING: Republican 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump gets devastating news as a massive lawsuit is filed that legal experts are already saying “could lead to Trump getting removed in all 50 states by the U.S. Supreme Court."
But it gets even WORSE for Donald Trump…
As a result of a critical judicial election, there is now a newly minted progressive majority on the state Supreme Court. Already the new Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down the state’s heavily gerrymandered legislative maps.

Reagan also fired air traffic controllers who were on strike because they were forced to work too many hours, which could endanger air passengers. And he attacked women on Medicare.
Reagan was not a man of the people; just another Republican without a heart.

You're right. What is pertinent is who is going to hold him accountable? Sociopaths do not experience guilt; they can feel the world is against them. He is always fighting for his survival in a world where he is the only one who matters. It is his modus operandi.
It isn’t breaking or pertinent news that Trump doesn’t think he’s guilty of wrongdoing and wants to obliterate anyone who says otherwise. Anyone reporting this like it’s new or discrepant from his entire 71 years on earth is wasting your time.

for the world is who we voted for in the primaries and the free world wants him as well. Biden is the cushion against fascism.
Biden gets a double question on two different topics, remembers each question, keeps them separate, and doubles back to answer. This is not a president in decline.
"But whether he (Joe Biden) was the only Democrat who could have beaten Donald Trump or not, he was the one who did. And for that everyone should be grateful."
Clearly Senator Susan Collins hasn't learned her lesson about reading the behavior of tRump and Kavanaugh. They say whatever they think will get them hired and then do exactly the opposite. She does not belong in the U.S. Senate.
