Just in the last 24 hours:
-MTG openly called for secession (McCarthy refuses to condemn it)
-A group of 8 House Republicans proposed a resolution to stop all aid to Ukraine
-George Santos admitted he's a "terrible liar" (McCarthy still stands by him)
-Trump again said he's siding with Putin over US intelligence
-Ron DeSantis blamed President Biden for Putin's decision to invade Ukraine.
-Kevin McCarthy has granted pro-Putin Tucker Carlson access to all of the Capitol security footage from January 6.
This radical Republican party must lose every election until they change course.

People in California and New York pay 20% of federal taxes and have 4 Senators. People in 21 states--AK ID UT MT WY ND SD NE KS OK IA MO AR LA MS AL TN KY IN WV SC--pay 15% of federal taxes and have 42 Senators.
What's that old saying? Oh yeah, taxation without representation.

This is a screenshot from a now hidden tweet from Daniel Defense, the maker of the assault rifle the Uvalde shooter used in his massacre at Robb Elementary.
It uses the photo of a small child and a Bible verse to sell weapons of war.

There’s a certain irony in celebrating the freedom of going maskless at the airport before being forced to take off your belt and shoes, throw away any liquids over 3.4 oz, and submit to a body scan and/or an invasive full body pat down.
