Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) declined a request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to address Congress on Thursday, saying there was not enough time. “Zelensky asked us for a joint session, we just didn’t have time,” McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill, according to videos of the exchange.

BREAKING: Hunter Biden gained 41 trademarks in China, made $640 million while “working” in daddy’s administration, and received $2 billion from the people behind 9/11.

Some key distinctions made by journalist Seth Mnookin in this sharp interview. (He wrote a book about the anti-vaccine movement in 2011.)
This might be a good time to remember that RFK Jr. was kicked out of two high schools for drug use --
and then was arrested and placed on probation for drug possession --

2. History is there for you to learn from it.
3. History offends you? Even better. Then you are less likely to repeat it.
Please read this out loud, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.
Alabama lawmakers refuse to create 2nd majority-Black congressional district in defiance of SCOTUS
Florida schools teaching that slavery was beneficial to Black people

Two thoughts from all this and more.
1) White supremacy is thriving in GOP. It’s a feature, not a bug.
2) GOP was never about law and order—they were always about advancing racism, and their defiance of their own right wing court is further proof.
Nurses went on strike.
Then graduate students.
Then school teachers.
Now it’s hotel employees, writers, and actors.
UPS drivers and auto workers may be next.
Many strikes, similar story:
Workers are sick and tired of billionaires and corporations hoarding wealth and power.
