If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

Dear Pretty-Much-Every-Republican-Legislator-in-the-USA, Whom do you represent? The people who elected you? Or President Trump? Whose interests should you be worried about? Whose families, whose jobs, whose futures? Why are you worshipping at the false altar of Trumpism? Why?

Just brilliant monologue from a @BBCQuestionTime audience member to #10jobNigel "Migrants, illegal or legal, weren’t responsible for austerity. Migrants and ‘illegals’ were not responsible for Brexit. Migrants were not responsible for Liz Truss’ failure of leadership.”

Thank you for all your extremely kind words and warmth. This pic makes me happy, because it’s my secret dad. The one the world didn’t get to see. Also, in this pic he’s, I think, 81 and I’m in my late 40s. God loves Scandinavians.

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...
