Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech.

Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.

Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

The president of the United States doesn’t believe domestic violence is a crime. We really elected a great man to be our leader

The old divorce laws gave all the power of the state to the abusers, cheaters, and swindlers. No-fault divorce gives it to the victims. It's the ability to throw off the yoke of being forced to stay with someone who treats you as their enemy.

Evidently, it's not polite to talk about abused wives right now and how churches have failed to shepherd and discipline abusers while #JohnMacArthur is on his death bed. But it's fine for women/children to endure abuse for decades waiting for church leaders to help.

Because of men's/women's "biblical" roles, I stayed in my lane. Now, as a single homeowner, I have learned to snake my basement drain (out of necessity), and I also made two self-wicking 4 x 8 x 32 in. raised garden beds.

Now I'm driving in both lanes. Watch out!

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We should refer to the El Salvador prison as a concentration camp, because it is.

We should refer to the process by which we're disappearing people as kidnapping, because it is.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

You be mindin your business & then BAM! Here come a reformed Christian breaking all their own hermeneutical rules to point to ONE verse in Isaiah (53:10) that literally no NT author quotes in speaking of Jesus to insist that penal substitutionary atonement makes all kinda sense.
