Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

He never paid the filing fee then sued claiming he shouldn’t have to pay the filing fee. And lost. Because that’s what Lindell does - lose all the time, claim he was cheated, sues, then loses in court. Over and over and over again since 2021.

Today’s Civics Lesson Dr. Fauci honoring a congressional subpoena and then taking the Fifth Amendment: an example of someone respecting both Congress and the Constitution. Jim Jordan ignoring a congressional subpoena: an example of someone showing contempt for Congress. Lesson over.

On the campaign trail, Trump promised to make in-vitro fertilization completely free. Of course, he lied. Now, Senate Republicans have unanimously killed Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s proposal to expand coverage for military service members and their families. So much for being the “pro-family” party.

Poor Jeanine Pirro. It’s always sad when a vicious liar loses their job because they unscrupulously tried to ruin the life of an innocent American hero to appease the most repellent man in America. Drink up, sweetie.

The news media thinks “defund the police” is some form of gotcha but the truth is that police budgets are way too high and teachers’ salaries are way too low.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Media ploy. Once again. It took 2 cherry pickers and a few hours to get the #trump name added to the #KennedyCenter Now the tax payers are forced to pay for retribution scaffolding and a dozen people working overtime. Trump is a wasted waster.

Todd Blanche cannot be Attorney General. The Senate must oppose his nomination. If you’re with me on this, please contact your senator’s office and tell them to vote NO on confirming Blanche. The Senate switchboard is (202) 224-3121.

How's your Friday evening going? Me? I'm just sitting back, sipping a glass of wine while I watch an act of stolen valor, committed by an extreme narcissist, finally be rectified. 🥂

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

Why isn't the media giving #ICELawlessness the coverage it deserves? A sitting member of the US Senate (Senator Kim) got attacked yesterday with chemical weapons by this rogue administration and crickets! It's up to us to make sure people hear about these things. Please share this thread widely.

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 this week. It was a slap in the face to the countless activists who fought for the VRA — and those who died for it. But we cannot give up. Here's how we should respond.

A win! Thank you for always making your voices heard. The House passed a DHS funding bill by voice vote this afternoon, ending a 75-day shutdown the longest agency shutdown in U.S. history. The GOP caved. The bill funds DHS but includes no money for ICE or Customs and Border Protection.

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.
