An FBI operation has located 37 missing children and 84 minors who were victims of child sex trafficking and child sexual exploitation offenses, the DOJ announced today.
You should now have a better understanding of why Republicans are calling for defunding the FBI.
This is Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen.
Today, he doubled down on his rejection of $18 million in federal funding to help feed children who might otherwise go hungry while school is out.
“I don’t believe in welfare,” he said.
Indeed. The welfare of children.
This woman won by TWENTY POINTS in a BLUE DISTRICT and is changing parties to give Republicans a veto-proof majority in the NC state house?
THE STENCH IS AWFUL.
LET'S SEE AN IN-DEPTH ON HER FINANCIALS.
Remember when John McCain took the microphone away from a woman who was disparaging Obama at a town hall meeting during the runup to the 2008 election? I liked America better when it was possible for something like that to happen.
Over 500 children have been reunited by the Biden-Harris task force to find families separated as a result of the Stephen Miller authored, Trump approved zero-tolerance policy at the border.
Every day, this administration gives me another reason to celebrate my vote for them.
Three life lessons learned from Nancy Pelosi -
Choose your battles wisely -
Timing is everything -
Give the right person enough rope and they'll hang themself
.
Lindsey Graham said he thinks Gordon Sondland changed his testimony because "Adam Schiff got to him."
No, honey.
Sondland did so because when he tried to sleep each night, a thought kept repeating in his mind, "perjury is a crime, perjury is a crime, perjury is a crime."
...
For the record, I don't believe a single poll that has Trump ahead of Joe Biden is accurate.
I'll go further. In November, Biden will win by an even larger margin than he did in 2020 and you know what? I don't call elections often, but have been correct 100% of the times I have.
If you just watched Lawrence O'Donnell's segment exposing fraudster Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and think his presentation was anything less than magnificent, I have to question your definition of first-class journalism.
Hold a James Carville seminar for Democratic politicians before they head out on the campaign trail and you can be sure we'll win more goddamned elections. The man knows how to be real. Some of our people need to learn how to speak plain, just the way he does.
Elon Musk, Russian sympathizer, removed the Ukraine News section, typically in the bottom right hand corner of the page. Things like that happen when a spiteful child takes on the job of a man.
Black voters make up close to 30% of the electorate in South Carolina. I wonder if they're going to take kindly to Sen. Tim Scott and Sen. Lindsey Graham downvoting the first African American female Supreme Court Justice.
I'm gonna bet not.
The Arizona Supreme Court ruling handed down this evening includes SANCTIONS for Loser Kari Lake’s claim that “35,563 unaccounted-for ballots were added to the total of ballots at a third-party processing facility.”
The Wicked Witch of the West melts one more time.
Got news for y'all. President Biden is not responsible for you being an ignorant, lazy idiot who fails to check facts, especially if you watch FOX news.
In fact, the price of all things Thanksgiving - including turkey, air fare and gas are down substantially since last year.
Every single one of you who receive Social Security and Medicare, or have parents who do, had better start paying attention. Donald Trump and his army of orcs have plans for it that will sicken you.
Donald Trump will get Secret Service protection, classified briefings and a pension for life (219K yearly) when he leaves the White House.
BUT,
If Biden feels national security will be put at risk by Trump being provided with the information, he can revoke access.
Joe?
Joe Biden spoke to the leaders of France, Germany and the UK today regarding the latest events in Russia.
Donald Trump spoke to an assembly of unbalanced crackpots at the "Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference." Any questions?
Are you kidding me, you halfwit dipshits? Of course we're out to get Donald Trump. If you
@GOP
had any goddamned GUTS, you would as well. Look at what the fuck he did.
Dear CNN. I don't give a fuck how many Secret Service agents Commander has bitten.
The Republican party is self-destructing in front of our eyes and trying to take the country down with it. THAT'S news that matters.
Cover the news.
Earlier this year, the University of Rhode Island revoked honorary degrees bestowed upon Michael Flynn and Rudy Giuliani. URI President Marc Parlange said they no longer represent the values and standards they demonstrated when they received them.
He was being exceedingly kind.
@joncoopertweets
Yes, it's unanimous...Kari Lake is a stone cold loser. I knew that the moment my neighbor's son, a ten year old, pointed at the TV when she was on the news and asked his mom, "what's wrong with that lady, why's she so nasty and angry at everything?"
Karma.
Thanks to Donald Trump, who stumped for Matt Bevin in KY with a last minute rally. I think he single handedly put us over the top.
Up next - "Moscow Mitch" McConnell.
...
I sure did like the House better when it was in the hands of those who held the constitution dear, and gave a good-god-damn about the American people, not just one man.
On Monday, Elon Musk said, "Some people think that having fewer kids is better for the environment. It's total nonsense. The environment is going to be fine, the environment is going to be fine even if we doubled the size of the humans"
Really? Is he on the same planet we are?

@joncoopertweets
I freaking DARE any of them to lie under oath, like they do on the air every single day. Seeing cuffs slapped on any one of them would be justice at its finest.
Roger Stone speaking to the insurrectionist scum: “Shoot to kill. See an antifa? Shoot to kill. Fuck ’em. Done with this bullshit.”
That this guy is walking around free makes me ill.
I don't know who I want to see behind bars more - him, Flynn, or Trump.
@AmoneyResists
The Georgia Supreme Court denied a Republican bid this past Wednesday to halt today's early voting. Enough reason right there to take full advantage of it.
Showing a sudden interest in pollution that causes global warming, Fox News ran a segment Sunday lamenting that Taylor Swift's private "jet belches tons of CO2 emissions."
I have questions.
On FOX, vice-presidential hopeful Kristi Noem said, 'Biden is remaking this country. We will be Europe within a year or two.'
Universal health care?
Comprehensive oversight of leeching corporations?
Equal treatment of workers?
Count me in.
Kellyanne Conway is positive.
Have you seen the clip of her talking up close and personal to Barr?
At one point, she pulls him close to say something into his ear.
Just turned on FOX with the "Ingraham Angle" on. She's calling for the removal of Rashida Tlaib from congress because, "she's putting the security of America at risk."
Laura, meet Tommy Tuberville.
It's possible Elon Musk may live to one-hundred, earn a trillion dollars and send humans on rockets to Mars, but he will never be half the man Dan Rather is.
A new Washington State law will require people to undergo safety training and a 10-day waiting period before purchasing any firearm.
Reasonable.
How could any rational human being consider it otherwise?
Us/Them - not the same. Not even close.
Kansas attorney general Kris Kobach says the benefits of replacing lead pipes may be "entirely speculative."
Me: holy shit!
Secretary Pete Buttigieg's response:
The benefit of *not being lead poisoned* is not speculative. It is enormous.
I've dedicated my night on Twitter to Dan Rather, as anyone who glances at my profile can tell. After a lifetime of outstanding achievements he deserves the attention. Also, well, tweets like this are priceless!
@PrezLives2022
It works because his "faithful" are as bad or worse than him, especially the Evangelicals who are supposed to know better but look the other way. Hillary was absolutely, 1000% right - they are the deplorables.

@joncoopertweets
Autocrats don't have friends. They have temporary allies they throw under the bus the moment they become inconvenient.
The second shot can be a bitch. I'm living proof, having been unwell for 6 days now. It's been making the rounds of my 70 year old body, picking on all my weaknesses and magnifying them, one at a time.
Two things though - it could be much worse, and I'd do it all over again.
A presidential candidate who publicly hopes the economy will crash as part of "pro-America" themed messaging?
How stupid do you have to be to buy into that?
...
Just did some homework.
@ GOP has 37000 tweets and 2,000,000+ followers.
@DNC
has 655 tweets and 79000 followers
What the fu*k, may I ask, is your problem?
I remind y'all
@DNC
, the year is 2019, and Twitter MATTERS.
You want me to donate? Get the fk on the ball!

Biden's decision to deny intelligence briefings to the former guy looks better and better each day. Especially now...can you imagine what he'd be doing with that information!
Fellow Vets, never forget, these are the 11 senators who couldn't care less about you or your families. None can shine your shoes either.
Mitt Romney
Rand Paul
Mike Crapo
James Lankford
Mike Lee
Cynthia Lummis

If you want to see what paranoia and ignorance peppered with a dose of pure insanity looks like, go take a look at the trending "DO NOT COMPLY" threads.

McConnell claims Obama didn't leave Trump a pandemic game plan. Trump says so, as well.
Bullshit.
Turns out they DID. It was 69 pages, appendices included, and explicitly lists novel coronaviruses as one of the pathogens that could require a major response. -CNN

Walked into a locally owned gas station/convenience store earlier to pick up some milk and butter, and the proprietors (people of age!) were behind the counter, maskless.
I waved at them and said, "No masks, no business," and walked back out.
I will do that, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Jesse Benton played a leading role in the presidential campaign of Rand Paul. He was convicted of six felonies in 2022 related to the contribution and falsified campaign finance records. This, after being pardoned by Trump in 2020 for OTHER campaign finance crimes.
#russianGOP
Attorneys for a former Army captain charged with breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6 are asking that his ankle monitor be removed because its random beeping could lead to embarrassing interactions with prospective business clients.
Maybe like he shoulda thought of that on Jan. 5th.
Trumpo is FURIOUS about the Quinnipiac poll just released showing he is way behind Biden.
People are watching his disturbing public and private behavior, remembering what four years of his "leadership" was like and just saying NO.
@SenWhitehouse
@JulieA77669619
Pay attention, people. They are buying the right to destroy our rivers, the air we breathe and the water we drink.
They contribute NOTHING and suck everything they can out of OUR resources.
What kind of shithole country are we living in, where a defendant has to be warned not to threaten members of our justice system or a jury of his peers?
Lock the piece of shit up without bail if he menaces a hair on any of their fucking heads. It's long overdue.
@RonFilipkowski
Which achievement? Everything he touched died. Go back to Transylvania or wherever the hell he bought you and take him with you if you want love, peace or security for Americans.

Biden and Sanders have cancelled all rallies for the foreseeable future. The reasons are obvious.
Trump has just scheduled a rally in Wisconsin on March 19th.
Jim Jones had lots of avid followers also.
....
Shell has purchased a shitload of Russian crude oil at a bargain price. I assume that means they're going to sell it to American consumers at a price that reflects the low cost to them, right?
Wonder.
If mike pence or Nancy Pelosi (to name a few) had been captured or worse yet harmed or killed, AS INTENDED, would that have been enough to make republicans want to nail the toxic traitor to the cross?
Because it came damned close to that.
...
Anyone willing to do without meat until the packing companies figure how the hell to keep their workers safe?
Asking for the wife, husband or child of anyone working in those plants.
...
Rick Scott's platform that calls for tax hikes on most Americans and sunsetting Social Security is the best advertisement for Democrats I've seen all year.
More, please!
If Mitch McConnell becomes majority leader after the election, Joe Biden will never get to place another judge on the Supreme Court, regardless of the circumstances. Mitch will never allow a vote to reach the floor.
If that doesn't get you out to vote, I don't know what will.
Someone actually said this to me...
"He may be a criminal, but he's OUR criminal."
I'm not going to dissect it's meaning, but I'll tell you what, we'd better get the hell out there and vote next year.
Every. Single. One. Of. Us.

Did you see Nancy Pelosi on The Last Word tonight?
Stunningly brilliant woman, and so very human - like Joe Biden in many ways. You know she's 83 years old, right?
