Missouri Senator Josh Hawley uses his sister's address as his voting address. He does not live at his sister's house.
If this were an average citizen, this would be voter fraud. Why does the senator get a pass?
The Chinese scientist who invented the coronavirus test had worked at the University of Florida for 25 years and raised his kids here but left, along with two other notable researchers, because of the Trump administration investigating them.
The White House has access to the best testing, the best physicians (Ronny Jackson notwithstanding), the best scientists and more. They still got COVID.
They gave teachers none of these resources and they want to force schools to open to full capacity.
Sean Hannity should be fired from Fox News today.
Can you imagine the reaction if Chris Hayes or Rachel Maddow were coordinating coverage with an Obama official under investigation for colluding with a foreign enemy?
38% of South Dakota's budget is from federal aid.
$46 billion in aid was delivered to farmers under Trump.
So, please do tell us more about this socialism you dislike so much.
It's remarkable how quickly Democrats have embraced socialism. When I served in Congress, I knew that some members were socialists, but they'd never say it publicly. They do now.
We need to educate our kids on how socialism destroys lives, how it is contrary to American values.
FWIW, the power was back on in Ted Cruz's house *before* they left for Cancun. Neighbors reported it came back on Wednesday.
So, he really just left Texas hanging.
How is it I've seen Jussie Smollett's mugshot in my feed 100 times and I haven't seen a mugshot of the neo Nazi Coast Guard LT who planned a mass murder, specifically targeting Democrats and journalists?
If we are going to bailout airlines, hotels and cruise ship companies, can we bail out America's food banks? Millions of children rely on school lunches and take home bags of food. These children will need help if schools close.
8. Lev Parnas plans to make news on Lindsey Graham today. Lindsey Graham was in the loop and they will discuss it more later today. I had not heard Lindsey Graham mentioned until today.
In cool news, Clark Hunt and the KC Chiefs organization brought every single employee (plus a guest) to the Super Bowl. More than 2,000 people. Every executive, every receptionist, every janitor and security officer.
I love that. They all deserve it.
Friends, I'm still on vacation and I've largely been off Twitter. As many of you know, I'm fond of posting pics of my dog. Unfortunately, he died of complications after emergency surgery this week and we are devastated. Here's to Hanzo, truly the very best boy.
Which GOP leader threatened Obama about calling out Russian interference during the election?
Which GOP leader is also heavily funded by the NRA?
Which GOP's wife is in Trump's Cabinet?
Maybe it's time to ask what the Russians have on Mitch McConnell.
Trump is shaking down the NRA the same way he did with Ukraine.
Pay for my impeachment defense and I'll make this whole gun control thing go away.
Folks, this is public corruption.
New: POTUS met with Wayne LaPierre to discuss how the NRA could provide financial support for his defense as he faces impeachment. In return, LaPierre asked the White House to “stop the games” over gun control

Hello, America - there are more than 40,000 structurally deficient bridges in America and President Obama's infrastructure bills were repeatedly blocked by Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell because it would have been a "big win" for President Obama. This is the result.
#BREAKING
: Bridge collapses on I-75 in Chattanooga; interstate closed in both directions
@tomreganWSB
headed to the scene for LIVE updates on Channel 2 Action News starting at 4 p.m.
Robert and Rebekah Mercer have corrupted our country. They own Cambridge Analytica, Breitbart, they weaponized, funded, elevated racists like Bannon, Milo and they are Trump's largest donors. They are filth and they should be investigated.
So, Trump thinks Hillary Clinton should be in jail, but his friend, Ghislane Maxwell, a pedophile who oversaw a ring of pedophilia, he wishes her well.
Can I rent a car? Sorry, kid. You have to be 25-years-old because you aren't responsible enough yet, too high risk.
OK, can I buy an AK-47? You bet, step right over to this counter. How much ammunition do you need? Have you checked out our bulletproof vests too?
Here it is, the moment Bill Barr couldn't quite answer whether anyone at the White House had asked Bill Barr to open an investigation. This was in May, right around the time Rudy was kicking the Ukraine scheme into high gear.
Bill Barr was under oath here.
.
@SenKamalaHarris
: Has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested you open an investigation into anyone?
BARR: ..... ah .....
HARRIS: Seems like something you should be able to answer
BARR: I don't know .......
Today, Gilroy police said they engaged the shooter within one minute. In that time, he shot 16 people, killing a 6-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl. That's the power of automatic weapons. There is NO scenario where a troubled 19-yr-old should be able to buy a weapon of war.
Seeing Republicans Jim Jordan, Trey Gowdy, Louie Gohmert, Steve King question Peter Strzok and I am reminded that the Republican party is truly filled with a bunch of assholes. Molester protectors, racists, obstructionists, greed mongers.
I believe Julie Swetnick. I believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. I believe Deborah Ramirez.
I believe it is time for Brett Kavanaugh to withdraw his name.
Fox News' Rachel Campos-Duffy: "I spoke to some African-Americans who say, 'Gosh, the conditions of the detention centers are better than some of the projects that I grew up in.'"
So, Roger Ailes gives Trump debate questions in advance. Fox editor buries Stormy Daniels story in 2016 that would've hurt Trump in the general, uses a nondisclosure as a shield to stop the reporter.
This should should disqualify Fox News from hosting 2019-2020 debates.
I seriously cannot imagine the absolute outrage and round-the-clock coverage this would've earned if President Obama went around signing Bibles. My God.
Hannity and guest are openly justifying a 32-year-old man, who was an assistant district attorney, molesting a 14-yr-old he met at the courthouse while mom was in a custody hearing, Moore later took her to the woods. They. Are. Justifying. Molestation.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and Democrats in the Senate got roughly 25 million more votes in 2016 than Republicans.
This country is being ruled by the minority and it is ripping the country apart. There are two stolen Supreme Court seats.
Outmatched, outclassed. Donald Trump didn't skip the ceremony because of rain. He skipped it because he's a weak president who is in over his head around real world leaders. And they all know it.
I seriously cannot believe there are five white guys in Congress trying to thwart Nancy Pelosi, a woman who oversaw the passage of the most significant legislation in my lifetime.
Record number of women coming into Congress and this was the lesson they came away with?
I sincerely hope in 2021 President Joe Biden gives the Presidential Medal of Freedom to both Dolly Parton and José Andrés.
They are everything that make this country great.
Fun facts about Matt Gaetz:
He was recently outed as having dated Congressional intern. He was 37 yrs old. She was a college student.
He got a DUI after leaving a nightclub named "The Swamp" (no, I'm not kidding)
President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump greeted by Gov. Ron DeSantis, his wife Casey and Jason Pirozzolo, an Orlando hand surgeon and GOAA board member.
After Pam Bondi got a $25,000 donation from Donald Trump, she dropped an investigation into Trump University, which defrauded veterans, single mothers and many others.
Lindsey Graham and Rick Scott are all for a plan that will divert $3.6 billion from housing upgrades for military families living in squalid conditions. Roaches coming through sockets, toxic mold, broken sewer lines.
These people should be ashamed and driven out of office.
Sen. Graham: "I stand firmly behind President Trump’s decision to use executive powers to build the wall-barriers we desperately need."
Sen. Rick Scott: “I applaud the President’s decision to put the safety of our country first and use his authority to secure our border."
Andrew Giuliani: You have an Obama-appointed judge who has signed this warrant where no other judge would…
Reporter: You have proof that no other judge would sign the warrant?
Giuliani: I don't have any proof, but do you have proof that any other judge would sign the warrant?
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse says the FBI essentially did a fake background check on Brett Kavanaugh. FBI never interviewed Ford or Kavanaugh, refused to turn over to Congress any info from tip line the FBI created.
If true, Wray must be fired.
And nobody is even talking about his use of unsecured phones anymore. There would be three Congressional hearings already scheduled if Hillary or Obama had been using unsecured phones.
Still thinking about the guy I saw in a jacked up survivalist Jeep with all the after-market accessories, including an engine snorkel in case he needs to survive crossing the Nile or something but he refused to wear a mask to save himself from COVID at the grocery store.
"The exodus of Tan and his colleagues highlights a disturbing irony about the U.S. crackdown; it is unwittingly helping China achieve a long-frustrated goal of luring back top scientific talent."
“I’ve been advising the president whether on Twitter, in columns, or in private conversations you’re not allowed to know about, since Election Day.”
Here’s Awful Ann Coulter telling
@vicenews
tonight she does in fact have the president’s ear on immigration.
In light of this week, I’m thinking about the report last week Joe Biden’s Secret Service detail had to bring back members from his old detail because they were concerned about pro-Trump agents. How scary is that report in retrospect?
He doesn't go anywhere without cameras. You think greedy, media attention grabbing Donald Trump wouldn't have been photographed at Ground Zero helping? This is a god damned insult to the men and women who were there and are literally dying today from it.
@samstein
Let us never forget the one and only change his team asked the RNC to make to their official party platform in 2016 was to remove the pledge of military support for Ukraine.
Here's my opinion of the Jussie Smollet case....
A neo Nazi in the US Coast Guard spent the last 2 years assembling a weapons arsenal, making a murder hit list of democrats. Prosecutors said his intent was “to murder innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen in this country.”
Hallmark is one of Kansas City's largest employers. Add this to Commerce Bank and BlueCross and it is clear Hawley is losing key support in Missouri. Other companies here that should take similar action:
@UMBBank
@Cerner
@HRBlock
@honeywell
A moment of silence for 9/11 first responder Luis Alvarez, who died of cancer this morning. Here he is last month asking Congress to take action and fulfill their obligation to provide care for the survivors of 9/11.
Mitch McConnell has yet to bring the bill.
But, seriously - Trump is supposed to get a physical this week and suddenly they announce his former doc has returned and is getting a promotion despite a questionable history. What timing.
Melania was at home with baby Baron Trump, who'd been born just a few months before.
And FWIW, Stormy Daniels is a registered Republican and once formed an exploratory committee to primary Sen. David Vitter in Louisiana.
Ted Cruz was able to deliver his Fox News soundbite for the day, so his work is done. No need to stick around and talk about solutions for gun violence that kills tens of thousands of Americans a year.
"As you well know, Senator Cruz, that is a complete distortion of their positions" -- Sen. Blumenthal
(you can then see Cruz walking out of the gun violence hearing)
LOL. Trump is surprised and dismayed to learn that the government has rules against forcing private companies to give money to the Treasury as a condition of a sale
Yesterday I repeatedly saw the headline that 'dozens' of MA state troopers had resigned over the vaccine mandate.
In fact, only one trooper has submitted resignation paperwork. And that cop retired.
