Sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln have no fresh food. The Secretary of Defense spent millions on Lobsters. Ordinary Americans are struggling to pay for food, gas, and rent. The Trump family has made BILLIONS from insider trading and graft. This regime doesn’t care about us—only themselves.

No president gets everything right, but Joe Biden has consistently shown decency, empathy, and a deep commitment to the country. I’m holding him and the Biden family in my thoughts as he takes on this latest challenge with the faith and determination that have always defined him.

Do we need to explain to GOP senators how 5th Amendment works? Disgusting lawless attack to scapegoat Dr. Fauci to score political points. Another distraction from the real issues our government should be addressing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Senate Panel Votes to Hold Fauci in Contempt for Refusing to Answer Questions

Legal scrutiny is mounting on the former top health official after he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a hearing about the pandemic response.

Trump, his sons, and the Trump Organization could be shielded from paying more than $100 million in back taxes under a deal negotiated by his own Justice Department. You will still have to pay what you owe—but Trump and his sons won’t.

Six weeks of silence. Then an unsigned “doctor’s statement.” No named physician. No public appearance. And a photo that again looks suspiciously artificial. If this is meant to reassure people, it’s doing the opposite. 🤨 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AAN94ktM1R12...

McConnell’s Aides Enlist Doctor for New Claims About Health — The Daily Beast

Pete Hegseth continues to hide behind the bravery and sacrifice of our troops to deflect from his own incompetence & lack of leadership. Rather than do his job he’s fighting woke, making workout videos, and releasing statements from his hair and makeup studio while blaming Biden.

Having Russell Vought as CFPB Director is like having a pope who doesn’t believe in Catholicism. If you don’t believe in consumer protection, why lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau?

Every (R) politician should go home…look their family in the eyes, and say, “I have failed as a human being. I sold my soul. I am corrupt. There is nothing honest about me. Because I have enabled Trump, I am an accomplice to more felonies than I can count. At the end of the day, I am…a coward.”
