Tucker Carlson called General Milley a stupid pig, but do go on about how kneeling is disrespectful to the troops.

Best way to understand Tucker Carlson's abuse of General Mark Milley tonight is as confirmation of the accuracy of the stories Gen Milley told about rebuffing ex President Trump's order for a massacre in Portland, Oregon.

.@SpeakerRyan Tonight @TuckerCarlson called General Milley a PIG. You are a Board member of the most corrupt public company in the United States. Have you had enough? Is there any line? Any vandalism towards the country that sickens you? Milley has served for 42 years.

I personally would like American generals to read less about “white rage” (whatever that is) and more about “not losing wars.”

8 yrs ago today, the Supreme Court gutted a section of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prevented states from enacting anti-voter laws.

Today, Republicans are attacking the central pillar of our democracy–our right to vote. That's why the fight to #RestoreTheVote continues.
Please never forget that Chauvin is going to prison today not because the legal system works but because Darnella Frazier captured video that prevented the city of Minneapolis from engaging in a cover up.

I see that you once applied to be in the CIA. But the agency rejected you. https://t.co/J6NbLWfNjy
When Mitch McConnell didn't have the 60 votes needed to confirm Trump's judicial nominees, he carved out an exception to the filibuster and made it happen anyway.

Please tell me one good reason why Dems shouldn't do the same for voting rights.
In @TheJusticeDept , Americans have an ally on voting rights - regardless of race, party or zip code. Thank you to AG Merrick Garland, Deputy AG Vanita Gupta & Asst. AG Kristen Clarke for defending Georgians against this assault on our freedom to vote.https://t.co/spmwmYFAsV
