What a wonderful country this would be...

Wales looks set to become the first country in the world to make it a crime for politicians to lie during election campaigns, under legislation now moving through the Welsh Parliament — known as the Senedd.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

They are waiting for poll numbers to come so they know what to say. Spineless.

TRUTH! If the Dems cheated in the general election, why didn't they vote straight Democrat down ballot? Make it make sense.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

This is a time for coalition. We may not agree on everything, but surely the defense of liberty in the face of this administration's abuses can bring together progressives, libertarians, and quite a few conservatives in common cause.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #SaveActTaxesYourVote social.demcast.com/s/bAyFPusn

At the moment, I'm regrettably not exploring a quaint bookstore on a cobblestone street in Vienna during a raging thunderstorm, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well.”

Former ICE trainer Ryan Schwank is telling Congress that agents are being trained to ignore the Constitution. "I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution when I joined ICE. I followed it when I resigned. The legally required training program at the ICE academy is deficient, defective, and broken."

Stephen Colbert Slams CBS On-Air for Banning Interview With Democrat Candidate The late-night host blasted FCC chairman Brendan Carr.

It should terrify us when networks silence voices to appease regulators. This isn’t about fairness; it’s about fear. Credit to Stephen Colbert for refusing to play along. That’s the kind of courage democracy depends on.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.
