January 6 was only 5 and a half years ago, and we’ve already cycled through investigation, indictment, conviction, pardon, and now gleeful promises to do it again only with actual hanging rather than just chants about it. Nice job GOP.

The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.
Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.

As energy bills rise, the US DOE deletes money-saving energy efficiency tips from its website.
You think it can't be this stupid, but it is: the libs like using energy efficiently, so to own the libs, we must waste energy, at any cost.

Why did energy-saving tips disappear from the Energy Department website?
As the country sizzled through heat waves, the government removed some of its most actionable advice about how to conserve energy.
