“Holmes Norton dismissed concerns about her age & … said that she was planning to run for another term. “I don’t know why anybody would even ask me,” the Democrat added, to which anyone outside of American politics would surely respond: because you’re older than nylon stockings & the ballpoint pen!”

“Every U.S. citizen has the right to question public officials about government actions, but U.S. Senators even more so. Their job, like all members of Congress, is literally to oversee & question the executive branch on behalf of the particular interests of their state or district.” -Miami Herald

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The Obama administration deported over 3.16 million people. 4.44 million under Biden. Guess how many times either of them deployed the National Guard or Marines. PRECISELY ZERO.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

Idle threats define Jeffries: “Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) suggested possible repercussions for the administration if it crosses certain red lines defining the separation of powers. But he didn’t name them after the McIver incident, & he was similarly vague after the Nadler episode in New York”

North Carolina has the least affordable health care in the country. That’s unacceptable. In the Senate, I’ll fight to invest in rural hospitals, protect Medicare, Medicaid, and expand Medicare to cover vision and dental. We deserve better.
