She won that primary (a special election after the previous Congressman died) by five votes. You wonder if the infusion of cash helped put her over the top.

I don't think this was him rooting against America. I think it was sarcasm. BTW, how was this tweet "false"?

This guy seems to be an Iran expert. Not that experts can't be wrong, but why are we choosing clowns over experts?

OK, maybe you're saying the whole thing was rage click-bait.

US CENTCOM: U.S. forces have directed 29 vessels to turn around or return to port as part of the U.S. blockade against Iran. Over past 24 hours, media reports have alleged that several commercial ships evaded the blockade, citing M/V Hero II, M/V Hedy, and M/V Dorena as examples. These reports are inaccurate.Hero II and Hedy did not sail past the blockade as part of a flotilla that “ferried” millions of barrels of oil to the market. In fact, the Iranian-flagged tankers are anchored in Chah Bahar, Iran, after being intercepted by U.S. forces earlier this week. Dorena has been under the escort of a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Indian Ocean after previously attempting to violate the blockade. The U.S. military has global reach. American forces are operating and enforcing the blockade across the Middle East and beyond.

Amen!

I agree. It looks like the Democrats were on board with moving forward towards expulsion. That takes a 2/3 vote so it has to be bipartisan. At least she had the good sense to fall on her sword before it went further than it did. The party leadership probably did some serious arm twisting.

I think if you resign and are later convicted of a crime that was the reason you quit you should forfeit any type of benefits due former
