Rep. Jamie Raskin slammed the petroleum industry yesterday as he pointed to experts who described Big Oil’s “pattern of lying and evasion” that has “set the country back decades” in its ability to address climate change.

Vance said yes.
"Okay, I'm just checking because you did help raise money for people who did so on January 6, which was impeding an official proceeding, breaking into a building that they weren't allowed to be in, vandalizing the Capitol," she said.
Former President Donald Trump knows that the right to choose for women is popular. He massively fucked up when he appointed justices to overturn Roe while trying to kiss his evangelical supporters on their collective hypocritical butts. He knows. So, now that he's running to get the coveted keys to the White House again, but this time to stay out of prison, he's acting like a used car salesman trying his damnedest to sell a Ford Pinto to a car-savvy couple.

It's no secret that Senator Ron Johnson (Q - Moscow) is a Russian ass(et). We knew that in 2018 when RoJo and seven other Republican lawmakers spent the Fourth of July with Vladimir Putin in Moscow. Ever since then, RoJo has been Putin's lapdog, regurgitating Russian talking points time and time again.
