They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

Trump and MAGA use FBI’s voting probes in push for SAVE America Act In an interview, Kari Lake said that what’s uncovered in the Maricopa County probe “will make passing the SAVE America Act even more urgent.”

A Trump administration official and prominent right-wing figures are using the FBI’s expanding investigation into the 2020 election to build momentum for the SAVE America Act — and put pressure on the U.S. Senate to pass the massive voter suppression bill. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch.

Why?

Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 — which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes.

"Efficiency."

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Don Paul: In the midst of a warming climate, the cold’s persistence is amazing. Enough loose snow cover in place to cause problems on windy days, and no real melting in sight. Cold relaxes a BIT early next week, but digs back in by the 8th to 10th. buffalonews.com/news/local/w...

Don Paul: Will the Bills be gasping in thin air on Saturday? The Bills have been there, done that, and won that. Still, with little time for acclimatization to the thin air/lower oxygen content, the atmosphere may "gas" some tired players, especially in the 2nd half.
