A CORRUPT 'PROGRESSIVE REFORMER' GOES DOWN IN FLAMES. Back in 2021, President Joe Biden fought hard to win Senate confirmation for Rachael Rollins to become the U.S. attorney in Massachusetts. Rollins was the district attorney of Suffolk County, which includes Boston, and she had become notorious by pledging not to prosecute many crimes. Early in her term, she published the "Rollins Memo" that listed 15 crimes in which the "default is to decline prosecuting" — that is, in which her office would not allow its attorneys to prosecute unless a supervisor gave special permission.
If you scroll through Randi Weingarten’s Twitter account, you will see she posts a lot. Her more than 210,000 tweets consist of posts about gun control, Gov.

Just when one thinks the vitriolic hatred and divisiveness of the "Squad" couldn't get any worse, two of their members, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), refused to vote for a House resolution that honored police officers killed in action.
Things looked bleak for House Republicans five months ago. A divided caucus took 15 ballots before finally installing Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as speaker. The Democratic Party was seemingly unified behind President Joe Biden’s call for a "clean" debt limit hike. And it looked as though the GOP was destined for another bruising leadership battle after Democrats peeled off enough centrist Republicans to get their way.
