This is the vice president's guy, no? This should be every headline, it should lead every newscast and EVERY REPUBLICAN SHOULD BE ASKED ABOUT IT.

The Bari Weiss-ification of CBS News continues. Dennis Hastert was convicted of the sexual abuse of high school students under his supervision as a high school wrestling coach. Banking rules violations were his transfers of hush money payments which he misdescribed and which allowed

Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

The former president and Texas senator are headlining a fund-raiser in Dallas for top Republican Senate candidates. Not included: Ken Paxton, the nominee in their own state.

It remains true that if the Russians went home tomorrow, the drone strikes would stop, no Ukrainian would follow them over the border and the war would be over. They can just *go home* and be at peace. The war persists because Putin wants it to.

Will Republicans be asked to disavow their Republican colleague's extreme statements and the death threats from an attendee at the Republican convention? Hard to say, as there's no direct connection between them like Democratic candidates have with that Twitch streamer

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

Why are you giving Republicans a pass? Like any of this is normal in a functioning democracy. Why just Democrats? Republicans should also be calling an emergency meeting of Republican leadership’s to the steps of the Capital to denounce the Crazy Pants President.

Senator Schumer offers sternly worded letters. What do people want? They want this. Fire and brimstone. Rage and promises of unrelenting accountability down the road for this. They want someone promising to run these motherfuckers down like a freight train for what they are doing. All of them.
