Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
BLUMENTHAL: Have you met with any of the American citizens who have been detained or arrested by your agents?
NOEM: They could've been instructing law enforcemen--
BLUMENTHAL: You haven't met with them. I'd like to introduce you to 3 of them. Will you please stand?
Hirono walks Noem through just a few of the many lies she's been caught in
“This is just evangelical christian nationalist American fanatics vs. evangelical fanatical Shia Iran. A bunch of ultra religious apocalyptic loving assholes who have no business running a food truck let alone countries and wars.”
Apparently there will be a White House Correspondents Dinner this year and supposedly Trump will be there.
The guy is gonna pal around with people he calls the enemy of the state, and the people whose job it is to supposedly speak truth to power are gonna laugh at his terrible jokes.
Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"
And yes, knowing that troops are being sent into battle sans Rules of Engagement is a big stressor for me. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach knowing that is happening. Knowing America has become this.
after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.
I for one love how utterly ridiculous they’ve made themselves look

The British monarchy has closed ranks and buried scandals to protect their royalty for more than a millennia, so the idea that this is some sort of unfounded witch hunt is ridiculous. Whatever Andrew did, its safe to say the evidence that's against him is incontrovertible and unhideable.
Australian federal politics is going to be increasingly unrestrained racism all the way to the next election, no point pretending otherwise
"The report’s most urgent finding is that the threat is not decades away. The most significant shifts in adaptation requirements occur in the early stages of warming, as we cross the 1.5° warming threshold."
If some American creep sent me three bundles of $25,000 I imagine I’d remember it but that’s just me

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
I think the snowfall in North Carolina is rather peaceful and we should just take a beat.

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...
BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000
