Biden’s Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen: “The economy is doing extremely well.”
Fact: In three years under Joe Biden: - Prices are up 17.7 percent - Real wages are down 3.2 percent - Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck - Housing is less affordable than ever ... See MoreSee Less
The Long Run PAC
The overwhelming majority of House Republicans are trying to make Jim Jordan Speaker of the House, and if he manages to win, his speakership will be a grave mistake.
Why? Let’s just look at Jim Jordan’s record:
He is an ultra-conservative Trump ally and a staunch election denier. He even led the effort to overturn the election on January 6th.
He has not passed a bill in his 16 years in Congress and has been called a “legislative terrorist” by members of his own party.
He has been attempting and encouraging government shutdowns, holding the livelihoods of Americans hostage for his own benefit.
He introduced an extreme total abortion ban bill with no exceptions. And he just cosponsored a bill to outlaw abortion medication with a 25-year sentence for violations.
Jim Jordan does not care about the needs of Americans. He represents an alt-right wing of his party that has loyalty to no one but Trump.
After the first ballot, Jim Jordan fell just 17 votes short of winning the Speakership. That means there are 17 votes standing between the people’s House being controlled by an extremist.
We cannot pretend Jim Jordan is some fringe figure. 200 House Republicans backed him and his extreme agenda for Speaker. That is unacceptable, and we must hold each and every one of them accountable
Oh my God! She is not very good at her job and is very out of touch with reality. She doesn’t even do her own grocery shopping. What total denial.
Pete Stauber so tell me St Pete, WTF are you doing? Oh yea not a damn thing! And is this information from FOX news?
Yeah, now that the average citizen can't even get away with making $600 on PayPal selling their used items. 🙄
I wonder who the economy is doing good for? It isn’t the average American worker.
Even though Jordan didn’t get enough votes on his first try, I am happy that Pete voted for Jordan.
I see Pete voted for Gym Jordan for Speaker of the House. Tells us all we need to know about Pete.
Failed Biden administration 😢
Do NOT vote for Jim Jordan. He is a liar, he will turn on you and he is bad for America.
I am confident that you will vote and support Ohio US Rep. Jim Jordan today as our next House Speaker. Thank you Pete!
Today the "far right maga" is holding our nation hostage for yet another GOVERNMENT shutdown! The GOP had 4 years and failed! We chose FDR in 1932 because much like today, the gop had completely lost it's direction. Biden today is our FDR moderate (like it or not) he's working to rebuild America. "United We Stand America" Independent Voters WILL NEVER VOTE FOR what has now become a maga cult. FDR message to the GOP same today as 90 years ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb-7Dpp-LPk INDEPENDENTS KEEP OUR NATION BLUE IN 2024! F.D.R while not perfect-elected 4 times!
Members of the American Sheriff Alliance are calling for immediate action due to heightened terrorist threats they fear exist because of U.S. border policies.
Pete thinks he can convince voters that closing down the House of Representatives so Republicans can have a civil war, is more responsible than Biden’s border policy establishing an 8.5% increase in border funding. Hate consumed McCarthy and destroyed Scalise’s nomination. Next week we’ll see the same thing happen to Jordan. Why? Because the only people Republicans hate more than Liberals are each other. Only a shameless insurrectionist would continue to level his tired accusation that Biden has a policy of open borders while he and his cohorts have shut one branch of government using ignorance, belligerence, and lies.
Open borders? There's no open border policy. Our border.is more militarized than ever. #TexasPete lies again
Putting forth Jim Jordan as Speaker, a petty, deeply flawed chaos agent who never introduces meaningful legislation that even gets to the floor for a vote, much less becomes law, is an admission that your party is one of trolling, not policy or ideas.
Lots of blissfully ignorant people on here saying that the border is secure. The border is controlled by the Mexican cartels and China joe and his administration just keep looking the other way
Nice source once again. A far right propaganda website started by the tea party
Correct statement that will be part of the day of reckoning for the democrat party.
Israel has a border wall and security towers all around Gaza border and how did that work out? 😳
Makes you wonder how many 1000’s of terrorists snuck in over the last three years.

💯 TY Pete to recognize the complete failure of the Brandon’s administration. Should have been impeached yrs ago🇺🇸
Like Israel we could be attacked from our southern border !!!
Is there a trump rally today? There was a solar eclipse today and I thought of trump and him staring at an eclipse without eye protection. So maybe he could talk about at his rally.
Pathetic Pete is deflecting again.
How about that Speaker of the House,, find anyone that can run the Republican Shitshow yet?
Fake news. Nobody has an open US border policy.
Lying is a sin Pete the cheat.
You should stop.
How does refugees from other countries jeopardize our public safety and national security, congressman? That sounds pretty racist to me.
Shame on you for not allowing military personnel to get their well deserved promotions.
“Today marks ten days since the United States House of Representatives voted to toss out the speaker, leaving the House unable to conduct business. This situation is unprecedented. And yet the Republicans cannot manage to elect a new speaker from among their ranks, and the party’s leadership refuses to work with the Democrats, who remain united behind House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Jeffries has repeatedly offered to work with the Republicans.
Now the House has recessed for the weekend.
With a war in Europe and a war in the Middle East and government funding running out on November 17, not to mention all the other work that falls to Congress, the House did not hold a single floor vote this week.
Essentially, the Republican extremists have paralyzed the government in the midst of an unusually dangerous time. While President Joe Biden and the Democrats are trying to demonstrate that democracy works better than authoritarianism, they seem bent on undermining that idea.
Here’s how the day played out: After Louisiana representative Steve Scalise withdrew from the contest yesterday, Ohio representative Jim Jordan was the only one running until a relatively unknown representative, Austin Scott of Georgia, threw his hat in the ring as an anti-Jordan candidate. Scott, who had previously taken a stand against the extremists, said: “We are in Washington to legislate, and I want to lead a House that functions in the best interest of the American people.” When the conference voted, Scott won 81 votes to Jordan’s 124, with 16 of the members not showing up for the vote.
When the conference held another secret vote to count how many people would support Jordan in a floor vote, only 152 said they would. Fifty-five said no, and one voted present. Jordan remains a long way from the 217 votes he needs to win the chair if all members are present, and his allies’ threats to vulnerable members that if they did not support him they could expect to face primary challenges did not endear him to the holdouts.
Some Republicans are now calling for acting speaker Patrick McHenry (R-NC) to have more powers than simply arranging for the election of a new speaker. But since the Constitution specifies that “[t]he House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker” and McHenry was tapped by former speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) alone to replace him in case of an emergency, that’s likely going to be a hard sell.
Others are hoping to reelect McCarthy himself. While McCarthy says he is backing Jordan, he is also spending time in front of the television cameras acting like a leader. Being begged to reclaim the speakership would undoubtedly give him more power than he had before the extremists toppled him.
It remains astonishing that the Republicans would consider making Jordan speaker. The hallmarks of that position are an ability to negotiate and to shepherd legislation through Congress (think of all former speaker Nancy Pelosi got done with the same slim majority the Republicans have). Jordan has none of those qualities; he is a flamethrower who, in 16 years in the House, has not managed to get a single bill through the House, let alone into law. Jordan’s elevation would reflect that for many years now, Republicans have elevated those who disdain government and whose goal is to stop it from working.
Jordan is also a key Trump ally who worked to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Former representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) has been clear she opposes Jordan’s elevation to House speaker. Today she wrote:
“Jim Jordan was involved in Trump’s conspiracy to steal the election and seize power; he urged that [former vice president Mike] Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes. If R[epublican]s nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They’ll lose the House majority and they’ll deserve to.”
The Republicans plan to hold yet another conference on Monday and hope to elect a speaker on Tuesday. But it is not at all clear they can agree on a candidate. Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) is one of those who is beginning to talk about bipartisanship as a matter of practicality. “A lot of folks are in denial but you're never gonna get eight or 10 folks on board. And so I think the bipartisan path is going to be the only way out,” he told Arthur Delany of HuffPost.”

You’re phoning in all your pandering.
How’s that aid to Israel and Gaza going?
How’s that aid to Ukraine going?
Got that spending plan done yet? Any appropriation bills?
Immigration reform?
Have you done ANYTHING lately?
As a US representative, I would like to know how you are going to govern. The Republican party is so broken that we as Americans can provide assistance to Israel after the atrocities done by Hamas, help Ukraine with defending themselves from the communist Russians, and pass a bill to keep the government open. But you post fluffy photos. Get to work
How about you elect a new speaker and get about your business?
And that is why everything takes so long. Not a one working.
Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House! With the great work he has done exposing Biden’s corrupt family business dealings, I think he would do an outstanding job as speaker.
That's 2 weeks of nothing being done in the House! Are you still taking a salary? Fiscal Conservatives😂😂😂
This is just so cool!
Yes amen
Pete, how about getting your lazy ass off on social media and DO YOUR FUCKING JOB by electing and nominating a house speaker in the US House of Representatives!! Your party is nothing but a total clown show on the international stage.
Let’s salute our TAXPAYERS paying for this stunt. And how many meals would this buy for the homeless? Pete Stauber care to answer?????
FRO #Traitor Pete 14(3)
When are you frothing insurrectionists going to open up Wally World and do the people’s business? Your Party’s leader and top Presidential candidate just filed Court papers in Colorado claiming he had no responsibility as President to defend the Constitution. No number of fly overs makes up for shoving a traitor, liar, and thief down our throats.
"The cause of Walz's failures is our governor’s willingness to turn over the governance of our state to extremists like Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Attorney General Keith Ellison. And so Minnesota is led down the path of tax hikes despite a $19 billion surplus, crushing burdens on small business, defunding police and kicking them out of our schools, and inaction in the face of historic challenges." ... See MoreSee Less
From the column: "Minnesota is a great state with a proud and worthy history, but it needs a governor who rejects far-left extremism and instead delivers the common-sense solutions Minnesotans need."
Every day you try to distract from the fact that your republican party is so inept you can't even pick a leader. Rome is burning and Pete Stauber is playing his fiddle.
Walz has done great things for the actual people of Minnesota. Let’s talk about feeding school kids for one thing. Pete here would take food from actual Minnesotans and use the money to support mining corporations. Pete only considers the mining corporations his only constituents.
BTW you don’t see Walz screaming ridiculous rhetoric at Republicans. He is busy running Minnesota and doesn’t have time to play childish games of name calling.
LOL!!!! Still trying to distract from the Republican Party mess of which you are a part? This is an Opinion piece written by failed candidate, Jim Schultz. This post is a whopper containing all kinds of lies and exaggerations. You must be real self-conscious of your DC failures to squawk and post stuff about state politics like this piece of junk. News flash, Congressman Pete Stauber, you were elected to represent us in DC. How about doing YOUR job!
You just jumped the shark,Peter. Figure out your own mess before trying to distract from it.
Your way of life is to run down others to keep your constituents happy. And that's not a life, it's a easy way out of looking at yours.
I've noticed that you certainly know how to criticize, but you never offer any ideas that are any better than the ones you criticize.
Obviously you're part of the Republican politicians who've worked hard over the years to finally get a legislative body so repellent that even they can't stand each other.
Poor diversion from your own job, where your colleagues in your party are busy trying to poke out each other’s eyes.
I like the good old days when you had mostly moderate Republicans, and moderate Democrats, who could reach across the aisle and work together, not letting either one get out of hand. That is a system of checks and balances.
Currently, we have a choice in many cases between a fascist and a socialist. Makes me gag to throw the lever.
30 years ago I was in the majority.
We need bold people that don’t mind getting thrown out with stones by both sides to find middle ground and pass laws that are good for America, and makes sense to the common person
Kid diddlers and commies love China loyalist walz and his downward spiral economics. He should be in prison for murdering the elderly and many others during the plandemic.
Run for governor, Pete.
Walz is following the Democrat playbook perfectly. His influencer is the devil himself. The devil has his claws into all of these radical Democrats so they are constantly trying to destroy us and this country. Their policies are pure evil and they sow nothing but pure chaos.
"The cause of Walz's failures is our governor’s willingness to turn over the governance of our state to extremists..." dude it's been 2 weeks since there was a Speaker of the House (2nd in line to the Presidency) because Republicans turned over the governance of our country to extremists.
Elect a Speaker, moron.
Do you fucking job Pete. And say out of state politics. Your party doesn’t have a house speaker, doesn’t want to govern, doesn’t want to take any responsibility related to Trump and January 6th, and doesn’t want to fully admit to an antisemitism problem within the Republican Party base.
Starting a failed Gubernatorial bid Pete?
Pete Stauber sorta like YOU voting for Keven I McCarthy and supporting Trump! Stupid is as Stupid does Petie
Nice job, Pete! Which ONE farmer is your special day honoring?
Check out Pete’s Sports Report, Weather Report, and spiritual insights here daily. If you’re looking for news on the House ending their internal hate filled feud and reconvening to do the people’s business, you’re out of luck. Republicans have turned the House into Wally World. Closed for repairs. The leader of the Republican Party was emphasizing how smart Hezbollah is in his last speech. He also scolded Netanyahu. We’ve heard these types of manipulation from Trump before. Praising Xi, Putin, and KimJong un. Later gross breaches of our national security explain his inappropriate fawning over these despots. It doesn’t take a history major to remember that Trump invited 2 high ranking Russian diplomats into the Oval Office and blabbed top secret Israeli intelligence to them. Russia is allied with Iran and the Mullahs love Hezbollah and Hamas. Trump likely got his ass chewed by Netanyahu for spilling Israeli intelligence and you know Trump and Republicans refuse to accept any correction.
Thank you farmers!!! Jim Jordan for Speaker!
Scalise dropped out, now what?
Please secure our border. Nothing is more important than our national security. God Bless the farmers.
Thank the Indians for giving you the land. They are the JEWS of America.
Pete doesn't care about Farmers! He only cares about himself!!!!!!
I'm wondering about how you feel about Steve Scalise, who says he's KKK's David Duke without the baggage.
You are looking in real time why the GOP isn't able to govern.
I prefer Gym Jordan for speaker. Under his clown show, not a single democrat would submit to a congressional subpoena. However, Scalise offers the scintillating reality of having an actual KKK member leading a branch of government. WHITE RULE!
Cue the democratic socialist morons.
Prayers for safety this harvest season.
Pete Stauber if you CARED about the farmer you would fight for the farm bill, but NO you would rather fight for big business that lines your pockets!
Checking that pander box!
Trump and Republicans put our farmers of welfare because of their stupidity on commodities. It will take 5-10 years to get many of those deals put back in place.

But it is not at all clear they can agree on a candidate. Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) is one of those who is beginning to talk about bipartisanship as a matter of practicality. “A lot of folks are in denial but you're never gonna get eight or 10 folks on board. And so I think the bipartisan path is going to be the only way out,” he told Arthur Delany of HuffPost.” Heather Cox Richardson
From this Navy family to yours! Happiest of 248th Birthday!
Prayers especially for those who have been deployed to the East Mediterranean. God bless our sailors.
Pete Stauber so why are you posting this? YOU ARE NOT A REAL SUPPORTER OF anything! Oh yea your new mansion and a fascist dictator regime is what you support !
October 13, 2023 (Friday) Today marks ten days since the United States House of Representatives voted to toss out the speaker, leaving the House unable to conduct business. This situation is unprecedented. And yet the Republicans cannot manage to elect a new speaker from among their ranks, and the party’s leadership refuses to work with the Democrats, who remain united behind House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Jeffries has repeatedly offered to work with the Republicans. Now the House has recessed for the weekend. With a war in Europe and a war in the Middle East and government funding running out on November 17, not to mention all the other work that falls to Congress, the House did not hold a single floor vote this week. Essentially, the Republican extremists have paralyzed the government in the midst of an unusually dangerous time. While President Joe Biden and the Democrats are trying to demonstrate that democracy works better than authoritarianism, they seem bent on undermining that idea. Here’s how the day played out: After Louisiana representative Steve Scalise withdrew from the contest yesterday, Ohio representative Jim Jordan was the only one running until a relatively unknown representative, Austin Scott of Georgia, threw his hat in the ring as an anti-Jordan candidate. Scott, who had previously taken a stand against the extremists, said: “We are in Washington to legislate, and I want to lead a House that functions in the best interest of the American people.” When the conference voted, Scott won 81 votes to Jordan’s 124, with 16 of the members not showing up for the vote. When the conference held another secret vote to count how many people would support Jordan in a floor vote, only 152 said they would. Fifty-five said no, and one voted present. Jordan remains a long way from the 217 votes he needs to win the chair if all members are present, and his allies’ threats to vulnerable members that if they did not support him they could expect to face primary challenges did not endear him to the holdouts. Some Republicans are now calling for acting speaker Patrick McHenry (R-NC) to have more powers than simply arranging for the election of a new speaker. But since the Constitution specifies that “[t]he House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker” and McHenry was tapped by former speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) alone to replace him in case of an emergency, that’s likely going to be a hard sell. Others are hoping to reelect McCarthy himself. While McCarthy says he is backing Jordan, he is also spending time in front of the television cameras acting like a leader. Being begged to reclaim the speakership would undoubtedly give him more power than he had before the extremists toppled him. It remains astonishing that the Republicans would consider making Jordan speaker. The hallmarks of that position are an ability to negotiate and to shepherd legislation through Congress (think of all former speaker Nancy Pelosi got done with the same slim majority the Republicans have). Jordan has none of those qualities; he is a flamethrower who, in 16 years in the House, has not managed to get a single bill through the House, let alone into law. Jordan’s elevation would reflect that for many years now, Republicans have elevated those who disdain government and whose goal is to stop it from working. Jordan is also a key Trump ally who worked to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Former representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) has been clear she opposes Jordan’s elevation to House speaker. Today she wrote: “Jim Jordan was involved in Trump's conspiracy to steal the election and seize power; he urged that [former vice president Mike] Pence refuse to count lawful electoral votes. If R[epublican]s nominate Jordan to be Speaker, they will be abandoning the Constitution. They’ll lose the House majority and they’ll deserve to.”
You’re phoning in all your pandering. How’s that aid to Israel and Gaza going? How’s that aid to Ukraine going? Got that spending plan done yet? Any appropriation bills? Immigration reform? Have you done ANYTHING lately?

Love this
As a US representative, I would like to know how you are going to govern. The Republican party is so broken that we as Americans can provide assistance to Israel after the atrocities done by Hamas, help Ukraine with defending themselves from the communist Russians, and pass a bill to keep the government open. But you post fluffy photos. Get to work
How about you elect a new speaker and get about your business?
And that is why everything takes so long. Not a one working.
Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House! With the great work he has done exposing Biden’s corrupt family business dealings, I think he would do an outstanding job as speaker.
That's 2 weeks of nothing being done in the House! Are you still taking a salary? Fiscal Conservatives😂😂😂
This is just so cool!
Yes amen
Pete, how about getting your lazy ass off on social media and DO YOUR FUCKING JOB by electing and nominating a house speaker in the US House of Representatives!! Your party is nothing but a total clown show on the international stage.
Let’s salute our TAXPAYERS paying for this stunt. And how many meals would this buy for the homeless? Pete Stauber care to answer?????
FRO #Traitor Pete 14(3)
When are you frothing insurrectionists going to open up Wally World and do the people’s business? Your Party’s leader and top Presidential candidate just filed Court papers in Colorado claiming he had no responsibility as President to defend the Constitution. No number of fly overs makes up for shoving a traitor, liar, and thief down our throats.

"The cause of Walz's failures is our governor’s willingness to turn over the governance of our state to extremists like Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Attorney General Keith Ellison. And so Minnesota is led down the path of tax hikes despite a $19 billion surplus, crushing burdens on small business, defunding police and kicking them out of our schools, and inaction in the face of historic challenges." ...

Every day you try to distract from the fact that your republican party is so inept you can't even pick a leader. Rome is burning and Pete Stauber is playing his fiddle.
Walz has done great things for the actual people of Minnesota. Let’s talk about feeding school kids for one thing. Pete here would take food from actual Minnesotans and use the money to support mining corporations. Pete only considers the mining corporations his only constituents. BTW you don’t see Walz screaming ridiculous rhetoric at Republicans. He is busy running Minnesota and doesn’t have time to play childish games of name calling.
LOL!!!! Still trying to distract from the Republican Party mess of which you are a part? This is an Opinion piece written by failed candidate, Jim Schultz. This post is a whopper containing all kinds of lies and exaggerations. You must be real self-conscious of your DC failures to squawk and post stuff about state politics like this piece of junk. News flash, Congressman Pete Stauber, you were elected to represent us in DC. How about doing YOUR job!
You just jumped the shark,Peter. Figure out your own mess before trying to distract from it. Your way of life is to run down others to keep your constituents happy. And that's not a life, it's a easy way out of looking at yours.
I've noticed that you certainly know how to criticize, but you never offer any ideas that are any better than the ones you criticize. Obviously you're part of the Republican politicians who've worked hard over the years to finally get a legislative body so repellent that even they can't stand each other.
Poor diversion from your own job, where your colleagues in your party are busy trying to poke out each other’s eyes.
I like the good old days when you had mostly moderate Republicans, and moderate Democrats, who could reach across the aisle and work together, not letting either one get out of hand. That is a system of checks and balances. Currently, we have a choice in many cases between a fascist and a socialist. Makes me gag to throw the lever. 30 years ago I was in the majority. We need bold people that don’t mind getting thrown out with stones by both sides to find middle ground and pass laws that are good for America, and makes sense to the common person

Pete, Walz's is a better person than you!!!!
Life in Minnesota is pretty damn good right now.
Go do your job Traitor Pete, you can’t even keep your house in order. Stay out of state business.
l.smartnews.com/p-1AUWa/rr63S7
Kid diddlers and commies love China loyalist walz and his downward spiral economics. He should be in prison for murdering the elderly and many others during the plandemic.
Run for governor, Pete.
Walz is following the Democrat playbook perfectly. His influencer is the devil himself. The devil has his claws into all of these radical Democrats so they are constantly trying to destroy us and this country. Their policies are pure evil and they sow nothing but pure chaos.
"The cause of Walz's failures is our governor’s willingness to turn over the governance of our state to extremists..." dude it's been 2 weeks since there was a Speaker of the House (2nd in line to the Presidency) because Republicans turned over the governance of our country to extremists.
Elect a Speaker, moron.
Do you fucking job Pete. And say out of state politics. Your party doesn’t have a house speaker, doesn’t want to govern, doesn’t want to take any responsibility related to Trump and January 6th, and doesn’t want to fully admit to an antisemitism problem within the Republican Party base.
Starting a failed Gubernatorial bid Pete?
Pete Stauber sorta like YOU voting for Keven I McCarthy and supporting Trump! Stupid is as Stupid does Petie

Nice job, Pete! Which ONE farmer is your special day honoring?
Check out Pete’s Sports Report, Weather Report, and spiritual insights here daily. If you’re looking for news on the House ending their internal hate filled feud and reconvening to do the people’s business, you’re out of luck. Republicans have turned the House into Wally World. Closed for repairs. The leader of the Republican Party was emphasizing how smart Hezbollah is in his last speech. He also scolded Netanyahu. We’ve heard these types of manipulation from Trump before. Praising Xi, Putin, and KimJong un. Later gross breaches of our national security explain his inappropriate fawning over these despots. It doesn’t take a history major to remember that Trump invited 2 high ranking Russian diplomats into the Oval Office and blabbed top secret Israeli intelligence to them. Russia is allied with Iran and the Mullahs love Hezbollah and Hamas. Trump likely got his ass chewed by Netanyahu for spilling Israeli intelligence and you know Trump and Republicans refuse to accept any correction.
Thank you farmers!!! Jim Jordan for Speaker!
Scalise dropped out, now what?
Please secure our border. Nothing is more important than our national security. God Bless the farmers.
Thank the Indians for giving you the land. They are the JEWS of America.
Pete doesn't care about Farmers! He only cares about himself!!!!!!
I'm wondering about how you feel about Steve Scalise, who says he's KKK's David Duke without the baggage.
You are looking in real time why the GOP isn't able to govern.
I prefer Gym Jordan for speaker. Under his clown show, not a single democrat would submit to a congressional subpoena. However, Scalise offers the scintillating reality of having an actual KKK member leading a branch of government. WHITE RULE!
Cue the democratic socialist morons.
Prayers for safety this harvest season.
Pete Stauber if you CARED about the farmer you would fight for the farm bill, but NO you would rather fight for big business that lines your pockets!
Checking that pander box!
Trump and Republicans put our farmers of welfare because of their stupidity on commodities. It will take 5-10 years to get many of those deals put back in place.

Are you comfortable aligning yourself with white racism?
Jen Schultz for Congress!!!!!
So, where’s your party’s house speaker Pete Stauber?? This country is waiting.
