I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

This is the proper amount of contempt with which the representatives of the people should be treating an unelected billionaire who has been contemptuously and illegally sabotaging the agencies Congress has created and funded.

What could Schumer do? Here's what I'd do: Get every Dem in front of the Capitol today and say this: "Every single one of us will vote for a clean one-month funding bill right now. What we will not do is cave to Republican threats to shut down the government unless we give a blank check to Musk."

Republican congressman Keith Self introduced transgender Representative Sarah McBride as "Mr. McBride." Sarah snapped back and called him madam chair. Dem Congressman Bill Keating went off on Rep. Self and adjourned the meeting over his lack of decorum and purposeful targeting of Sarah McBride.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.

US aid to Ukraine since Feb 2022 totals $128 billion, mostly older weapons, not cash. The crypto industry is seeking a bailout of $100 billion from the US Treasury. That is cash. Remember that when crypto CEOs accuse anyone else of "grifting." www.cfr.org/article/how-...

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Schiff: Those are the comments of an ignoramus. Article Five has been invoked just once. It’s been invoked over Afghanistan—when we were attacked, and our NATO allies came to help defend us.

Last week’s staged disrespect of Zelenskyy was a pretext for Donald Trump’s effort to appease Vladimir Putin. Abandoning allies, bowing down to dictators, and putting democracy at risk – all to what end? This isn’t leadership, this is cowardice.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
