It is absolutely correct for Democrats to demand that Swalwell resign from Congress and drop out of the race for governor of California. Same for Republicans forcing Gonzales to resign. It's the right thing.
So, when are Republicans going to hold Trump, a much worse offender, to the same standard?

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion. NASA / NOAA / Ian Regan
I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

I won't ever understand why Biden's cognitive struggles were covered daily by the MSM yet Trump's descent into madness is all but ignored.
Oil prices have hit $117 a barrel, it was $65 in February.
Not so long ago the prospect of Russia and the US working toward the same political end would have been unthinkable.
We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

A drunk former fox news host refused to promote two Black and two female officers because a convicted felon and 5x draft dodger does not want to stand next to a Black woman at military events.
Think about that for a second.

Guilty as (not yet) charged.
This is the goal.
You'll be shocked to learn that Trump and his buddies are using The "Trump" Kennedy Center to loot, grift, and hand out money to pals, just like he did with his charity and inaugurations.
Well probably not shocked.
Sheldon Whitehouse is working to expose this.

Ramblings from a president who cares more about his vanity projects than the economy.
Trump claims his ballroom is “under budget” while he keeps raising the budget. He also insists “everyone wanted it.” Absolutely no one asked for it.
The budget:
• July: $200M
• Oct: $250M
• Oct $300M
• Dec: $400M
Republicans know they can't win in a free and fair election.
Violence grows similar to an epidemic. It could be contained like one too.
AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.
As Eliza Doolittle would say, "Words, words, I'm so sick of words."
It's "relative". No one wants to be "under the thumb" of a "Socialist" regime which unnaturally controls ALL production/distribution of goods, like corrupt USSR. But, no one wants to be owned by multi-national corporations who poison our air & water and enslave us. Social Democracy is a compromise.
Social media post: adam22 @adam22 If you're complaining about unpaid internships I am 100% sure you aren't ever gonna make it Karl Barks @onlineman420 Unpaid internships are a way of filtering poor people out of the job pool so rich kids don't have to compete with them on the merits.
Privilege is blind because it can't stand to look at itself in the mirror.
All Republicans in Congress are faced with a choice. They either stand with Trump, Vance and Putin, or they stand with Ukraine, Europe, most Americans, and the civilized world. Of course, there is also a 3rd option which most of them usually choose - cowardly silence.
Mark Zuckerberg’s new data center in Louisiana will use 3x more electricity than ALL of New Orleans — and guess who’s paying for it? YOU.
Billionaires like Zuck are passing the cost of their corporate greed onto everyday Americans with higher water and electric bills.
In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.
The Indiana Senate is the saucer that cools the hot tea of authoritarianism.
Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.
So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.
That is patently false: not only do immigrants score better than native-born Americans in tests, the mere presence of immigrants improve test scores for all students, when factoring in white flight
