🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

The only good result of Yellow Snow's first 100 days, is that elected officials now sling profanity with impunity. #shitshow #clusterfuck

Rep. James Clyburn said at a town hall he hopes the U.S. doesn't transform into Germany during the rise of the Nazis. "All we can do is share with you what we’re doing and ask for your prayers for this country will not allow itself to go the way of Germany in the 1930s when people stood by."

Purple Finches at the feeder, traveling with a flock of Pine Siskins. A skunk has emerged from hibernation and sprayed the woods with a blast of musk. I breathe the stink in and cough it out—an attempt to purge myself of this dry, sick political air—a viral load of barbed and infected words.
