U.S. California Republicans in Congress fled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida as Los Angeles continued to burn. They attended parties with Trump while people tried to save their homes. This is what rule under oligarchy looks like. #LAfires

There's nothing corrupt that Aileen Cannon can do about it. Joe Biden has immunity; release the Jack Smith report immediately.

Monday Mental Health check-in...😻 I'm a mixture of 2 & 5. How about you?
