Dear God, Putin Has Control of the GOP Senate

Senate Republican leaders, ahead of a key procedural vote Wednesday, are urging their GOP colleagues to block legislation to provide more than $61 billion in military and foreign aid for Ukraine because the package does not include immigration and asylum reforms. 

Any hopes of getting a bill passed this week were dashed when tempers boiled over at a classified briefing on the war in Ukraine and senators got into a shouting match over border security. 

Y'all acting like Hamas didn't meet with Putin 2 weeks ago. - Mr. Weeks

At a time when some 16,000 Palestinians have been killed in the last 2 months, two-thirds women and children, & 1.8 million displaced from their homes, NO. I don't think it's a good idea to hand another $10 billion to Israel's right-wing extremist government no strings attached. - Sen. Bernie Sanders

Nancy Pelosi is 25 years older than Kevin McCarthy.

One defended our nation’s Capitol at 80+. The other sold out our democracy for nothing.

Younger does not equate to better. - Kaivon Shroff

Where In The World Is Rudy Giuliani?

Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two Georgia election workers who have been tormented by harassment and threats since 2020, were prepared Tuesday to confront the man they view as the chief instigator of their suffering: Rudy Giuliani.

But Giuliani was a no-show at a federal court hearing in the duo’s defamation lawsuit, prompting a lashing for his attorney by U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who had ordered Giuliani to be present.

Like many, Kevin will never get the stink of Trump off him. - Molly Ploofkins
