Senate Republicans are greenlighting lifelong audit immunity for a man and family that Capitol One bank flagged, and then closed, more than 300 accounts for money laundering. Staggering corruption and crimes.

She's absolutely been given the all clear. Murkowski and Cassidy are in but have been told to withhold any statements to preserve the illusion that Collins is actually taking a stand as opposed to her usual performative "no" vote when it doesn't matter.

Susan Collins announces she will vote against confirming Todd Blanche to become Attorney General. This comes after Cornyn and Tillis said they will vote to confirm him. Murkowski has not said how she would vote to confirm him. Same for Bill Cassidy.

Watch for Republicans to seek full tilt ways to prevent young people from voting in the midterms.

University of Michigan voters have a 100% El-Sayed precinct right now.

A highly intelligent Black man was elected president, winning decisively. He is known for his decency, humor, kindness, eloquence, and global respect. His goal as president was to secure the best outcomes for the nation he served. A complete contrast to what you have now.

El-Sayed: We live in an era where we continue to see a few very small people try to define America as being as small as they are. We can't control the past 250 years. What we can do is build the next 250

Just so everyone knows, by confirming Todd Blanche, this means that Trump can become a full-blown dictator. GOP Congress has said they will do absolutely nothing to stop Trump. Todd Blanche says he will do anything that Trump asks. The 6-3 Supreme Court is corrupt. All we have left are lower courts.

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.

How long has Cornyn been a Senator? Seems by now he should know that it is precisely the Senate’s job to rein in a corrupt President. What a lying schmuck. Come on Texans, you can do so much better for your state!

We have to get this evil administration OUT. This is absolutely pure evil. 💔

For the first time in a decade I decided not to grow lettuce this year, cause it’s kind of a pain in the ass to clean and dry (I wash everything that comes out of my garden b/c rodents can leave droppings, etc). So of course it’s the year of trumpdiarreah lettuce🥴 I’m planting some seeds today…

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

Congress: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re fresh out of ideas.”

ICE IS KILLING PEOPLE IN THE SHADOWS. Prisciliano Trejo Ricano begged for a doctor. He became the 50th person to die in ICE custody. Anne Frank wasn’t shot; she died of neglect in a camp. ICE uses the same playbook: murder by medical neglect. ICE DETENTION CENTERS ARE DEATH CAMPS.

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.

The Republican run US Federal government is a sex trafficking murderous crime syndicate.

This is a fascist government. We are not a free country.

The reason right wing nut jobs are using this lawless Congress and DoJ to persecute Anthony Fauci isn’t b/c of COVID-19, it’s b/c Fauci advocated for the gay community during the AIDS crisis in the early 1990’s.
