If anyone wants to try this again with the next MAGA bootlicker, first question:
“Did Kamala Harris lose the 2024 election?”
They will jump at the chance to say yes. These toads HAVE to.
Then the 2020 question.
Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.
HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

The Fed relies on data and objective reality. Kevin Warsh’s refusal to acknowledge the 2020 election shows he’s more interested in politics than facts.
An independent Fed Chair needs a backbone, not a loyalty pledge. — Warsh is compromised. Hard pass.
Associate Attorney General Stan Woodward, the second highest ranking official at the Department, defended the pace of the weaponization group work to CNN. “It is incumbent upon us not to simply label those travesties as weaponization, but to prove it and go find the evidence of weaponization,” he said. “And that takes time.”
Unfortunately for Stan Woodward, DOJ's first weaponization report doesn't actually provide evidence of weaponization, either www.cnn.com/2026/04/21/p...

Or Patel? Or Hegseth?
#IowansDeserveBetter
lmao rare to see someone so easily baited in a congressional hearing, but RFK jr is a sucker
um wat
Trump's war in Iran has forced Americans to pay over $8 billion more at the pump.
So naturally, his priority is to bail out his family's business partners in a foreign country.
Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?
Good Question! (1/3)
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
