AOC: This is an inhaler pump. Can you guess what the great innovation was that made it worth preventing this from going generic? It’s this little plastic piece right here. That was a major part of the new patent they filed to extend exclusivity and prevent this life-saving drug from going generic.

Not only would this criminalise the use of Gaelic in Scottish elections, it would threaten to jail anyone who uses British Sign Language in a campaign video.
At their first whiff of power Reform's priority is to make our democracy less accessible & threaten their political opponents.

Reform UK have tabled an amendment to the UK Government’s elections Bill which would mean candidates using any language except English or Welsh would face up to six months in prison.
This is outright discrimination, and we will stand firmly against such prejudice and ignorance.

Farage refused the taxpayer funded security in the past
Why??
Because he didn’t want security to know where he was or who he visited!!
Will he accept it now….?

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sen. Booker to Todd Blanche: "Your nomination should fail. The Attorney General's client is not the president, it's the American people. You've been protecting one person for most of your career…You should not be confirmed to this job."

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.
