Marjorie Taylor Greene Says States Should 'Consider Seceding From the Union'
Wouldn't encouraging cession mean MTG is now encouraging active rebellion against the United States? And wouldn't that make her ineligible to hold office under the 14th amendment?
Let's get that lawsuit roll'in.

Trump supporters post names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors online.
Those grand jurors almost certainly knew this would happen, and they voted to indict anyway. That kind of courage to defend the rule of law is the best of America.

Workers are on strike at all 3 Detroit auto makers for the first time in their union's history
Those "20%" raises are spread over 4 years which averages to ~5%/year, barely keeping ahead of inflation. The media throwing that out without quantifying it is a blatant attempt by the corporate press to breed animosity towards the unions and paint them as greedy.

Fetterman: America ‘not sending their best and brightest’ to Congress
"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.”
I guess things haven't changed that much.

Trump’s co-defendants are already starting to turn against him
I love that Republicans continue to liken our criminal justice system to those of a banana republic when, in fact, these individuals have been properly charged, arraigned, given an opportunity to sever their cases or move them to a different court or request a more speedy trial, are out on bail, have been provided with an attorney if they don’t have one, AND ARE, IN THE EYES OF THE LAW INNOCENT UNTIL A COURT OF LAW SAYS OTHERWISE—all the distinguishing features of the world’s gold standard of justice. In a banana republic, they would have already been executed for participating in an attempt to overthrow the government….

Speaker Johnson says he believes he has the votes for a Biden impeachment inquiry
He may or may not have the votes, but he certainly doesn't have the evidence. However, that no longer seems relevant for Republicans.
They believe in the rule of law, just like they believe in Jesus. More of a mascot than a coach.

GOP Decision to Blur Jan. 6 Faces Has Democrats ‘Deeply Troubled’
The only thing this is going to accomplish is putting the January 6 insurrection terrorist attack back in the news, and it’s gonna further implicate the Republicans. The FBI already has these tapes, and now people are going to be demanding that the FBI release its version of the footage which is the unedited version. This is why you don’t put a no-name back-bencher like Mike Johnson as speaker of the house

Fetterman jokes about McCarthy impeachment inquiry: ‘Ooo don’t do it’
John Fetterman has to be the first sitting US Senator to publicly use the term "circle jerk".
On the 6th...
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) says Republicans will pay a price in the next elections if they try to impeach President Biden, the HuffPost reports.
Said Fetterman: “Go ahead. Do it, I dare you. If you can find the votes, go ahead, because you’re going to lose. It’s a loser.”
He added: “It would just be like a big circle jerk on the fringe right. Sometimes you just gotta call their bullshit. If they’re going to threaten, then let’s see it.”

The Fox GOP debate melted down when the word “climate” was mentioned
Outright climate denial, avoidance of actually engaging the question, and zero mention of any policy Republicans might advance on climate.

Supreme Court says Florida can’t enforce anti-drag law
Just to be clear, this law wasn't passed with any expectation of it ever being implemented. Everyone, including the Florida legislature, knew it was unconstitutional and would be overturned. The people it was passed for will never even know it was overturned though. It was passed for DeSantis who wanted red meat for his base. You should be happy that DeSantis is a terrible politican because he is a terrible person and belongs nowhere near the Presidency.

Biden says he had to use Trump-era funds for the border wall. Asked if barriers work, he says 'No'
The funds for 20 miles of border wall were approved in 2019 before Biden took office. He urged Congress to reassign these funds for more intelligent and efficient enforcement purposes, but Republicans did not comply. Now, Biden has to fulfill his lawful obligations.
