RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Judges are refusing to accept Justice Department attorneys’ explanations at face value and even telling them outright that the executive branch has forfeited its claim to presumed honesty.

Today, House Republicans will take their 70th day off with pay in the last 82 days.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Tomorrow evening, I am hosting a live, in-person interview with author Michael Lewis, discussing ANYTHING & EVERYTHING: His new book ("Who is Government?"), his prior writings, films, the state of the world -- anything goes. What questions should I ask him???

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

James Surowiecki figured out the tariff rates: It's also important to understand that the tariff rates that foreign countries are supposedly charging us are just made-up numbers.

Why are Trump's immigration goons wearing masks?

After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.

They’re disassembling the government so that very very rich people can keep their tax cut.
