MTG reveals why Congress is chronically Boomermaxxing 👴👵
"you wanna know why they want to die in office? ... Imagine you're 80 years old, and your staff are your caretakers"
"they wheel these people around in their damn wheelchairs... they wheel them all over the Capitol, all over the office buildings, to their committee hearings"
"once they're in front of the cameras, they stand their decrepit old selves up, and they walk into House floor, they sit in a chair, they put their voting card in the machine, and the push green or red based on what they're staff tells them to vote"
"and they can't let go of the praise. You know what they love more than anything? 'Oh, let me hold the door for you, Mr. Congressman.' Or, 'Yes, your honor... it's good to see you again, sir. Come on in.'"
"they are addicted to all of that. It's why they never give it up."
"and most of them, after they've been there so long, that's how they earn their paycheck. So what would they replace their paycheck with?"
"it's a reality that I wish so many times the American people could see. [To] see that old, old person being wheeled around by their 25-year-old staffer, to go in there and read the words that the other 20-year-olds wrote in their office and vote the way they've told them to vote"
"you're not being represented. I'm just telling you—you're not being represented"

🇺🇸 BREAKING: The largest fireworks show in the history of the WORLD has just kicked off in Washington, DC
850,000 MUNITIONS — last year's was 20,000
Trump PROMISED to make it happen, and he MADE IT HAPPEN! 🔥
🚨WHAT ON EARTH?!!!
Over 100 Flock cameras that were set to "go dark" at the end of June after city council voted to shut them down...
...have bizarrely just REMAINED ON and the police are still using them
On June 17, the city council's safety committee voted to END the contract because when they asked police to prove these cameras actually reduce crime, the police could point to only 3 cases that led to convictions.
So the city council let the contract expire on June 29th, but then people noticed the cameras were still up...
...because Flock VOLUNTEERED to keep running them for FREE while the city "figures it out."
In fact, police confirmed they are still running them to "keep the community safe" and the company agreed to keep the system live, despite the contract expiring.
It gets worse.
When reporters asked simple questions like... is data still being collected? Do the cameras shut off or keep recording? Who can access what was already stored? It turned out that neither the city NOR Flock would answer.
So just to recap:
The contract is expired.
The elected body said no.
Nobody re-authorized it.
Flock won't say what it's doing with the data.
...but the cameras are STILL ON and being used by police
🚨#BREAKING: Police in Indiana are asking the public's help to identify the person who cut down 2 Flock cameras in Goshen.
A city councilman responded by saying, "It's just a part of life these days. There's no sense in being destructive to get your point across.”
WE NEED A NEW FOREIGN POLICY.
Amidst the fiasco of the war in Iran, Americans need to rethink the very foundations of our foreign policy and how we go forward in a very different direction — a direction which focuses on peace, democracy and economic and social justice.
Let us not forget:
The war in Vietnam was based on a lie. In that war over 58,000 Americans died, hundreds of thousands were wounded and millions of Vietnamese civilians lost their lives.
The war in Iraq was based on a lie. In that war 4,492 Americans died, tens of thousands were wounded and hundreds of thousands Iraqi civilians lost their lives.
The current war in Iran was based on a lie. In this war 14 Americans have been killed, hundreds have been wounded and up to ten thousand civilians in the region have lost their lives.
Meanwhile, with 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck, we have a military budget of over one trillion dollars — much of it going to the extremely profitable military-industrial complex.
In terms of the Middle East, here are our major allies:
Israel: a nation, now controlled by right-wing extremists, which has committed genocide in Gaza, plotted with Trump to start the illegal and unconstitutional war in Iran, and is now actively obstructing a meaningful pathway towards peace as it continues to attack Lebanon’s civilian population.
Saudi Arabia: a nation controlled by the wealthiest family in the world who run a dictatorship that treats women as third-class citizens and tolerates no opposition or dissent. According to U.S. intelligence, the Saudi leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, had American journalist Jamal Khashoggi murdered in its Istanbul consulate because of his criticism of the regime.
UAE: a nation which is an authoritarian monarchy with no free press, no free elections and no independent civil society — built on the labor of migrant workers who make up 80% of its population. Beyond its borders, the UAE has armed the Rapid Support Forces — a paramilitary group the United States government has formally determined is committing genocide in Sudan.
Qatar: a nation which is also an authoritarian monarchy controlled by the Al Thani family, one of the most powerful and wealthy royal families in the world. Unbelievably, 91% of Qatar’s population is migrant labor who are ruthlessly oppressed. While building World Cup stadiums in Qatar, thousands of workers died as a result of horrendous working conditions.
The politics of the Middle East are complicated, and no one believes that we can bring peace, prosperity and democracy to the region tomorrow. But clearly, we need a very different approach than what we have right now.
We need a foreign policy that actually reflects our values and which must start with a simple premise: the United States will not provide weapons and diplomatic cover to governments — whether in Tel Aviv, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi or Doha — that engage in systematic human rights violations.
And it means, at long last, building a foreign policy centered around human rights, respect for international law and multilateralism — and one that holds war criminals accountable no matter whom they may be.
Anyone wondering why I'm criticizing Israel a lot today...
Your Defense Minister just said this:
"We have flattened the entire first line of villages in southern Lebanon, all the houses have been destroyed. The residents will never see them standing ever again. The 200,000 Lebanese residents who were in the 'security zone' are never returning again. Not one of them will ever return to southern Lebanon"
Your Minister of National Security said this:
"For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn."
And that's just today. You think this is normal?
