Texas Republicans are letting Ken Paxton get away with his corruption and crimes, probably the least surprising news of the day.

This is what the GOP is, a lawless, corrupt bunch of goons and criminals.

"This inquiry is theater — theater with bad actors. They're literally fighting over who gets the credit for the idea."

Biden's presidential campaign slammed GOP's impeachment inquiry and urged supporters to "show that you're standing with the president." https://t.co/eiWLIjibct

#Republicans indicting #HunterBiden on gun charges in the nihilistically utter absence of any single action on #guncontrol in a nation where guns are kids’ # 1 killer mocks the death of every single shooting victim in #America. Republicans are using gun laws for -exclusively- political purposes while children die.

'Decades in the making': Megachurch pastor gives up on Christianity in profanity-laced resignation

Missouri megachurch pastor Dave Gass stepped down from his position after 40 years and renounced his Christian faith,

“The entire system is rife with abuse. And not just from the top down, sure there are abusive church leaders, but church leaders are abused by their congregants as well. Church people are just sh*tty to each other,” he tweeted.

Privatization takes services away from people whose mission is to serve the public and gives them to people whose job is to figure out how to make money off of the public.

Biden Gives Perfect Response to GOP’s Baseless Impeachment Inquiry
The president is staying focused on the issues that matter most.
"I get up every day—not a joke—*not* focused on impeachment. I’ve got a job to do. I've got to deal with the issues that affect the American people, every single solitary day...I don’t know quite why, but they just knew they wanted to impeach me. And now, best I can tell, they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government:"

Yep, Kristen Welker is going to the as terrible as we thought. First interview is with 45. So he can lie and filibuster all the way through. Fck these networks.

If the Democratic Party were actually “lurching to the left” then this oped would make a little sense, but it’s not. Joe Biden is as moderate as anyone around. The Dems have reactionaries like Joe Manchin, opportunists like Kristen Sinema, liberals like Schatz, institutionalists like Schiff, “man of the people” folks like Fetterman, and reasonable left wingers like AOC. In short, they are a normal, flawed, big tent politics party. https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/111054311392345725
