This is beyond pathetic and EMBARRASSING! U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell is brought in to vote by wheelchair and wearing a boot. Congress was not designed for politicians to make a career out of the Senate or House … let alone be an Assisted Living Center!

A good reminder: "In 2022, eight conservative legal experts published a report called "Lost, Not Stolen," reviewing the evidence in 64 different cases in six swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin... Trump was successful in a single,

Is this the first time DC experienced snow? Are you new to town? No. You've seen prior storms and prior ineptitude. As a Councilmember, what have you done to get the city better prepared? NOTHING.

"Clearly, Schumer and the leadership of the Democratic Party still, even now, have no real conception of what is happening in our country. Because these are not normal times, and we are so, so far from a normal America." - from today's First Draft zeteo.com/p/imagine-if-t…

Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.

It looks like Phil Mendelson will again forego public financing in his re-election bid for D.C. Council Chair, and instead go for traditional fundraising. (Where maximum individual contributions are much higher.) He's campaign chairman is again Ben Young, a local lobbyist.

Last night Martin was released from a detention center in Michigan. He was in the concentration camp for almost 3months. I drove him to Chicago where his pregnant wife was waiting for him. She is due February 12th. He has no criminal record and was working when ice kidnapped him.

Minnesotans are out in the freezing cold providing coffee, cocoa, and warm soup to each other as they peacefully protest. Why? Because they care about their constitutional rights. So should the Senate.

I’m not saying this for a cheap political hit. I’m not saying this for impact but because i really absolutely mean it, sadly. This is the dumbest (and most corrupt) man to occupy this office, ever.

President Trump breaks a day of silence and says there will be no pullback of immigration officers in Minnesota just hours after his border czar signaled the opposite.

On video, members of Congress admit they’ve set aside ~$800 M in bonuses for ICE agents, with individual payouts reportedly up to ~$44,000. Meanwhile, the average American bonus is around $2,500, if you even get one. So let me get this straight: They can’t fund healthcare,

Any Democrat who votes for anything other than abolishing ICE should be voted out of office! Senate aims to vote on funding deal before shutdown deadline wapo.st/4bYNfRQ

In other words, because the administration can't be trusted to follow the law, Congress should retain the power to cut off its funding at any time.

So much for "turning down the temperature" and "discipline." Trump is back to attacking the victim in Minneapolis, describing Alex Pretti as an "Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist" because he earlier broke a taillight.
