If they deserve to be impeached — and so many of them do — then the House should impeach them. Maybe the Senate won‘t convict but it’s still worth the effort to remind people that laws still exist and that Democrats still defend it. Also, as noted here, make ‘em sweat.

This is noteworthy. Again, no compelling evidence supports the COVID lab leak theory. The furin cleavage site present in SARS-CoV2 was perceived as unusual, fueling the lab leak theory. But now we understand that other bat betacoronaviruses have it. 🧪 www.chemistryworld.com/news/does-th...

A large number of the people counted in this were people who were killed as a result of Al Qaeda in Iraq igniting an Iraqi civil war based on sectarian tensions dating back to Saddam. Yes we invaded the country, and made critically poor decisions, but we were not the only actor involved.
