Reclaiming Freedom from the Right Wing

Nancy Pelosi goes on offense. A big shot at Kevin McCarthy.

Screw your neighbors. That’s the tact of Capitol Hill resident and TPUSA apparatchik Benny Johnson. Owning AOC means not being sorry people who live or work near blocks from you should be scared about literal bombs by where they work.

This is dumb. The Cannon building was evacuated because of a bomb threat. Members were obviously in danger even if they weren’t in the Capitol building proper during the attack. The Capitol is connected to Cannon and the other office buildings via tunnels.

AOC Wasn't Even in the Capitol Building During Her 'Near Death' Experience. What actually happened? A Capitol Police officer knocked on her door in the Cannon Building to direct her to another building. #AlexandriaOcasioSmollett https://t.co/WcJaeE8qIu

Great going!

I’m sorry, Scotland. America needs to send an apology for having to deal with Eric Trump.

Please clap. Five years ago today…

The end of the Zombie Senate… McConnell and Schumer come to an agreement.

Grab your kleenex. Watching the memorial ceremony for Officer Brian Sicknick absolutely wrecked my day. As it should. He was a patriot.
