Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.

SCHIFF: When Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, who won? CANDEUB: Um. Trump was certified as winner S: Did he in fact win? C: He was certified S: Do you have some doubt about if he won? C: I have no doubt he was certified S: When did it become so difficult to answer such a simple question?

Gun violence has stolen the lives of far too many people, in communities from Ohio to Illinois. We need strong leaders like these champions who will fight for commonsense gun laws to address this crisis. I’m proud to endorse them in their reelection campaigns.

We’re proud to endorse these leaders who have proven they have what it takes to stand up for public safety and fight for families across the Midwest. Voters must reelect them so they can keep working hard to build on the lifesaving progress they have already made.

Every wonder why a super processed food product is cheaper per unit than fresh fruit and veggies in many stores? Have you also noticed the amount of grossly unhealthy people are around? Coincidence? I used to be one of the grossly unhealthy people. It is a long journey, not a quick fix.

“I’m staying in the race because, thanks to President Trump paving the groundwork, sexual assault and violence against women is widely and openly accepted now, so there’s really no reason to drop out.”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

When your party leader is a president with historically low approval ratings, who has raised prices through tariffs and wars, uses disaster relief and science grants to punish states that didn’t vote for him, and has agents shooting people in the streets, this is what you do.

Rent isn’t high by accident, it’s high because 9 landlords colluded with an algorithm called RealPage to fix prices behind your back. Kris Mayes sued every single one of them. This is what a real fighter looks like, and it’s why she deserves your vote, AZ! #BlueWaveIn90Days

Don Huffines, Republican candidate for Texas Comptroller in November, now owns Epstein’s New Mexico ranch. He’s been appointed comptroller by Abbott to fill the vacancy. But he’s not elected. VOTE for SARAH ECKHARDT in NOVEMBER!

If you’re up for a little skin-crawling experience, check out the slick real estate video tour of Epstein’s New Mexico ranch, investigation of which has been sandbagged and stonewalled more than any other major Epstein asset. Bad stuff happened there. players.brightcove.net/578288675500...
