  • Republicans Dine In Moscow: Party Of Treason

    A day after the Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed Russia interfered in our elections, 8 Republicans flew to Russia for a photo-op. Now they’re blaming Biden for the invasion of Ukraine, while repeating Kremlin talking points.

  • Lauren Boebert (R-CO) Yells “You put them in, 13 of them!”

    Yup, Colorado Elected her to Congress

    During a breach of normality, Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) shouts out during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech, “You put them, in 13 of them!” President Biden was speaking about how many American troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan developed cancer from exposure to burn pits through the toxic fumes the pits emitted.

    2017 Military Deaths

    Not only was she out of line, but she also sat quietly when 21 of our bravest military were killed during Trump’s first year in office. 1

    Even though the death count was even higher, the twenty-year war continued and was never put to an end by Trump. Trump made many promises about ending the war, but he never did!

    Lauren Boebert’s family is no prize in ethics and morality. “In January 2004, when Jayson Boebert was 24, he was arrested for exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowling alley. His future wife Lauren Roberts (as she was then known), who was 17 at the time, was also present and was told she was no longer welcome at the bowling alley.” 2

    “The 34-year-old lawmaker, who beat her district’s very conservative Rep. Scott Tipton in a primary upset last June, has a rap sheet unusually long for a member of Congress.” 3

    “After she again failed to appear at an October 2016 court appearance, a warrant was issued for her arrest. In February 2017, she was again arrested and booked into jail on a failure-to-appear misdemeanor charge in that case. In 2010, Boebert and her husband, Jayson, lost their then-home in a foreclosure case and were later evicted. That same year, Boebert was cited for violations to the Garfield County Animal Code for allowing her pit bull dogs to remain at-large without proper licensing. Two years later she was the subject of a civil case filed by Capital One Bank, which won a $1,516 judgment against her, a debt that wasn’t ultimately settled until five years later in 2017, court records show. Court records also show that from 2011 to last year, Boebert had been cited for numerous traffic offenses in Garfield, Clear Creek and Larimer counties, including speeding, following too closely to another vehicle, driving with expired license plates and several citations for failure to use a seatbelt and failure to use proper child restraints.” 4

  • Abolish the Electoral College

    Shredder

    We signed a petition on Action Network telling Congress to Abolish the Electoral College.

    After three disputed Presidential elections in just 20 years, it’s time for Congress to abolish the Electoral College. Instead we should finally become a true Democracy and elect our President based on who receives the most votes, like every other Democracy in the world.

    Can you join me and take action? Click here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/abolish-the-electoral-college-2?source=email&

    Emily’s List, the national group that backs female Democrats who support abortion rights, said Tuesday that it will no longer endorse Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) because she opposes changing Senate rules to pass voting rights legislation. 6

    The abortion rights groups Emily’s List and NARAL pulled their support from Sinema over the filibuster vote. 7

    “I’m livid. I can only call her a turncoat,” Dunn said. “I feel betrayed.” 8

    U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is growing increasingly isolated from some of her party’s most influential officials and donors after playing a key role in scuttling voting rights legislation that many consider essential to preserving democracy. 9
