The whole "Biden accepted bribes" story is a manufactured hoax. It's based entirely on 2nd and 3rd-hand allegations, for which there is no supporting evidence, and the desires of James Comer and Chuck Grassley. It's outrageous that Comer and Grassley are so flagrantly abusing Congressional power in their pursuit of allegations they know are unsubstantiated.

This is one of the Republicans' top witnesses in their agenda to discredit and harm the DOJ and FBI. He's a disgraced FBI agent who was suspended for leaking sensitive information to Project Veritas. Remember them? They're the fake video outfit founded by James O'Keefe that previously manufactured videos targeting Planned Parenthood. This is who the Republicans are hanging their hat on.

#DeathSantis tells Clay Travis & Buck Sexton, on their show, that he'll consider pardoning the J6 defendants & Donald Trump if elected.

The seditious Republican HOSTAGE-TAKERS are demanding even more or they'll force a default which will lead to a global economic crisis. #SINO McCarthy said that they're not willing to make concessions: A Dem official said Republicans have already rejected at least two compromise offers from the WH🚨. The first proposed a govt spending freeze next year at its current level, & another offer would put in place a two-year cap on spending. #GOPDefault #RepublicanCorruption https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/25/debt-ceiling-news-demands-republicans-are-making.html

The Republican Party is deranged, corrupt & seditious. It's not just MOC who're advocating for a default, now the Republican National Committee Chair is on record, cheering for global economic chaos. McDaniel explained the country’s ills can only help Republicans.

Comer is apparently unaware that his comments were recorded on video. Whoops! What a dick.

Financial experts have finally admitted that #Greedflation is why prices are so high, NOT WAGE INFLATION.

#Comer is admitting that his #investigation into Joe #Biden and his family is political, and not based on any actual evidence of wrongdoing. In case you forgot, investigations in service of a political agenda are illegitimate, and a corrupt use of governmental power.

#RepublicanCorruption 🩸state residents need to be informed, in LA: Rep Higgins' dist. *a stretch of swamp & petrochemical plants -incl. Lake Charles. Local leaders said they are looking for more💰-not less.

To be clear, I don't support Anheuser-Busch, the backlash illustrated the magnitude of the problem with RW media & #RepublicanLies. The LIES about LGBTQ people, POC, CRT, DEI, abortion, HC, immigrants, the poor, disabled, govt programs, corporations, regulation, taxes... are why TFG was elected & still wields power & many Senators, Reps & elected officials are still in office & continuing to advance
abominable legislation. #RepublicanCorruption #GOPDeathCult

Republican CEOs are afraid of their Senators & Reps, Republican Senators & Reps are afraid of TFG, they all live in fear bc they could lose their💰 & power, so there's no accountability or functioning govt: Individual CEOs see little advantage in spending their own political lobbying on the debt ceiling, bc it doesn’t provide a direct benefit to their cos. & it could backfire by drawing negative attention from politicians. #RepublicanCorruption https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/economics/corporate-america-sidelines-debt-ceiling-debate-biden-congress-rcna82764

Republicans' ANTI-WOKE scheme is working. They've employed their best influencers & spent BIG💰. Dems must do better, use many great influencers & effectively spend💰 -needed to educate Americans & change minds. BIG CORPORATIONS ARE SIDING WITH REPUBLICANS🚨 -use experienced influencers & pay them, corps., & whoever needs to be paid off. #RepublicanCorruption #RepublicanLies "Get woke, go broke?
