House Republicans Show Where Israel Ranks (Right Behind Their Infighting)

House Republicans are paralyzed, and Israel may have to wait for US aid because of it. GOP leaders are mortified and furious.

A white person in a red county has about as much chance of being shot as a Black person in a blue county.🤡

@mekkaokereke @drwho Okay, so I just happened to be looking US News Best States Ranking so I looked this up, and... guess what? [edit - apologies, I missed Idaho] Only ONE red state in the top 10 for lowest crime rates.[/edit]

New Hampshire is Purple - probably Maine too, so those 2 are splits. But the rest of those 10 lowest crime states are blue.

REPORTER: Today's hearing is about how the FBI is politicized, but do you think it's appropriate for some of these whistleblowers to be paid by one of Trump's former advisers?
