The Pentagon has hired a convicted January 6th rioter to handle highly classified military operations and counterterrorism efforts.

Rep. Norman: January 6th was an issue that was made up in the first place. Reporter: Made up? Norman: That was a staged thing from day one. Reporter: The riot was staged? Your Republican colleagues barricaded themselves in their chamber. You think they were acting?

"We're the only country in the world that has" birthright citizenship, President Trump lies even though this claim from him has been debunked for at least the last eight years.

The Republicans will forever be the party of supporting stupid illegal wars. Vote accordingly in November.

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

- Comey indicted for tweeting a number. - Trump FCC threatens ABC's broadcast license. - Trump defacing more govt institutions with his name and picture. - Trump's kids cashing in on huge govt contracts. I'm always torn on whether to speak up on the daily drumbeat of Trump's creepy, corrupt, Putin-style authoritarianism. On the one hand, this has become so standard under Trump, and everyone's opinions on him have long hardened, so why bother? Just keep your head down, post on economic policy (what happened to Econ Twitter?), and don't be distracted by the daily news cycle outrages. That's the standard position in DC policy circles. On the other hand, isn't this defeatist passivity how authoritarianism thrives? Government actions that would have induced a nationwide backlash 15 years ago are now just the day's background noise. So the bar moves. It’s a familiar path: Most authoritarian nations moved there gradually yet persistently - the govt commits some outrages, waits for the public to get used to it and stop complaining, and then pushes for the next round. Authoritarian governments count on the population having a short attention span while they steadily boil the frog. But when you think about how far Trump has pushed just in the last 15 months, it’s fair to wonder where we'll be after the next 33 months of his term. So I’ve been torn - speaking up a lot during the ICE protests, then just focusing on econ for many weeks. I don’t want to bore people who’ve all made up their minds on what is happening in this country - and I've been trying to spend less time on this toxic hellsite for my own mental health. But I also think us trying to be all cool and above-the-fray is exactly what gives the administration the green light to once again push harder towards corrupt, statist, personality-cult Putinism. I don’t really have an answer here. Although this being Twitter, I’m sure that any possible approach (whether passive, hair-on-fire, or in-between) will inevitably get me yelled at here.

@MSNOWNews Katy Tur just reacted so unprofessionally to a tape not being available during a segment. Nothing like trying to humiliate your staff on live TV. How can anyone work for such a b*tch. She needs some serious HR training.

If we & our allies act with calm determination & steady nerves, using restraint in our words as well as our weapons I am hopeful that both peace & freedom will be sustained. - JFK

“The most transparent president”

Boebert on Swalwell and Gonzalez: I think they should’ve been expelled. We need to look into ways to censure, with aspects to say you can’t have your pension—you can’t leave here with all your taxpayer-funded benefits after such shameful acts that cause you to resign from Congress.
