You need to lower the tone @VivekGRamaswamy. I’ve experienced personally the murderous wrath of Vladimir Putin. Numerous friends and allies murdered, poisoned, thrown off buildings, etc. Wherever you got your Russia policy, it’s plain wrong and needs to be changed.
It says a lot when labels & name-calling replace counterarguments. “Isolationist” is the new “Racist.”

Smart move and amps pressure up on all. Shows she is ready to go.
JUST IN: DA Fani WILLIS is asking the judge in the Trump racketeering case to fast-track all 19 of the defenants — not just Ken Chesebro — while permitting the others to file motions to sever from the larger case. documentcloud.org/documents/…

The Fourteenth Amendment itself, in Section 3, answers the question whether disqualification is “anti-democratic,” declaring that it is not.  Rather, it is the conduct that gives rise to disqualification that is anti-democratic, per the command of the Constitution.

Thousands of elites will fly into Davos on private jets this week to discuss how regular people should stop consuming so much If this was really about saving the planet, why don't they do the conference over Zoom?

Last summer seven members of Ishyaka Grade worked with the @RWBookmobile and learnt about improving literacy in schools. In December these students applied what they learnt in the local school GS Rubona where they organized activities to spread the love of reading.

I’m old enough to remember Trump telling people that if he lost we’d never see him again. Well, he lost — so why is that motherfucker still here? (Pardon my expletive) – at Los Angeles, CA

Three recent approaches to a coup plot: 1) Germany -- stop the coup before it starts 2) Brazil -- round up insurrectionists after they attack 3) US -- Seat the seditionists in Congress, pass the buck on investigation, and allow the head insurrectionist to run for president again

Methinks Mr. Winkelvoss doth protest too much. He fed Gemini customer funds into the maw of Genesis Capital. If Genesis Capital can't return those funds, it's on him.

The Constitution itself makes that promise, dude. Right in the text. It's Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment, and it binds all three branches of the Federal Government. I'd suggest you read it sometime.

California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy. Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.

Absolutely right!
I agree with Member of Congress and former prosecutor @danielsgoldman. GOP Rep Scott Perry should be nowhere close to this new Judiciary subcommittee. And I agree with @JRubinBlogger that we should call this what it is: the GOP Obstruction of Justice Committee.
