1,887 days.

That is how long it took House GOP leadership to allow a simple plaque honoring the heroes of Jan 6 to be placed in the Capitol.

Five years of foot-dragging, revisionist history, and cowardice. They didn't want this memorial because they didn't want the reminder. Absolutely shameful.

Tulsi Gabbard's conflict of interest — and hypocrisy The director of national intelligence has mismanaged a whistleblower complaint involving Jared Kushner and Iran

Not a good look at all.

"The system for intelligence community whistleblowers depends on the knowledge, trust, credibility and good faith of the director of nat'l intelligence. It’s a fatal flaw to make that person an intermediary, much less a gatekeeper"

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Justice Dept. Releases Missing Interviews With Woman Who Made Claims Against Trump

Outrageous! The New York Times does NOT mention in the headline or anywhere in the article that the "woman" who made claims against Trump was 13 at the time of the sexual assault. The Times went with "teenager". WTAF?!!! This is unaccepable!!!

These are wild times when a funeral service is the most inspiring thing you’ve seen all week.

Grateful for this man’s leadership.

Rest in Power

“The company’s website is still bare-bones with a banner that says ‘Site maintenance in progress.’

Its CEO is a 77-year-old man named Kenneth Wagner who appears to run the business out of his private home. Previous attempts to reach Wagner have been unsuccessful.”

So just a coincidence that the Trump admin decided to shut down this investigation???

"Epstein was the target of a sprawling federal investigation into alleged money laundering, drug smuggling and sex trafficking operation by a specialized unit shut down last year by the Trump administration"

At the funeral of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rep. Jones and I walk in his footsteps. Our story isn’t possible without the work, advocacy, Organizing, and struggle of Rev. Jackson. Rest in power.

With Iran, confusion is the point The Trump administration's jumbled reasoning for war with Iran is part of the strategy

Yep.

Trump "just wants to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, for whatever reason that strikes his fancy at the time. And no one has yet stopped him."

Trump Straight-Out Says Which Country Could Be Next For Regime Change But the president said "we think that we want to fix, finish" Iran first.

This is classic Trump: He says something outrageous, gauges the response, and either walks it back or leans in.

Cuba is next.

"Whether they say it themselves or not". So Trump decides that they've "surrendered". Is that right???

Here's What Trump's New DHS Pick Said About Alex Pretti's Killing Sen. Markwayne Mullin and ousted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's responses were similar following the killing of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents in January.

Markwayne = POS

“A deranged individual, that came in to cause max damage, with a loaded pistol with an extra mag that was completely loaded, was shot and killed,” Mullin said after Pretti’s death. “How much more does this gotta go on before the Democrat leaders take responsibility for their words?”
