Not to say that #Trump is 100% innocent BTW, if #JoeBiden should be prosecuted for illegally having classified documents, so should #Trump. It goes both ways.
Rep #KenCalvert, top #Republican on #Defense Appropriations. “Every member must understand the impact of not passing this package. The only other option will be a full CR which will devastate our #NationalSecurity & put our country at #risk.”
The vote in favor was overwhelming, but doesn’t ensure the measure will become #law. It must still be considered by the #Senate, where Sen #RandPaul on Tues said he might block any swift consideration, something he did a year ago to a similar bill.
Wed’s vote marks the 1st time 1 of the houses of #Congress has approved #legislation that could effectively ban a major #socialmedia platform — one used by an estimated 170M people in the #UnitedStates monthly.
"In June of 2020, Alexander #Smirnov, an #FBI informant, dropped a “bombshell.” His revelation: The owner of #Burisma, a #Ukrainian energy company, paid $5 million each to Joe #Biden and Hunter Biden as a bribe in exchange for Biden, then Vice President, stopping an investigation into Burisma. Smirnov’s allegation became the basis for the #Republican’s Biden #impeachment inquiry...."
"Paralysis in the Senate, due to holds on military and diplomatic appointments and promotions placed mainly by Sens. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), continues to leave the U.S. without key leadership in the Middle East, both from the State Department and the Pentagon."
#Republicans averted the self-inflicted wound of a #GovernmentShutdown this weekend. The main casualty of the process was #aid for #Ukraine, but foreign aid was always a fig leaf—for both #GOP#dysfunction & the determination of a small group of Republicans to help #Russia.
#RandPaul is the guy who picked a fight with his neighbor, got his ass kicked, then pressed charges on the neighbor. His claims about one-sided #justice don't carry a whole lot of weight.
Yesterday I got a direct mail solicitation from #RandPaul and something called the National Association for Gun Rights claiming that the UN is coming for my guns. If I had guns, UN would be welcome to them. #gunviolence
OMG, what a scandal! Dr. #Fauci, who the #Republicans have spent over a year demonizing, lying about, and trashing, has a government-funded #security detail! I am shocked!
Human scum, like #RandPaul, are angry that the deranged Republicans they've been intentionally inciting won't have a clear shot at Dr. Fauci, and will have to go through his security team if they want to take him out. I'm so ashamed of my country right now.
