Voters cut it off at the source on Election Day. Some fascist-minded little shits are still trying to refill it – one bucket of lies at a time.

Reducing the flow maybe. I think cutting off the supply altogether is a bit optimistic. The lies have already started with the reneging on the $2000 stimulus cheque promised during the senate race. If you are gonna start offering cash for votes its only right and proper to actually pay up.
Most of us expect $1400 roundup check in 2-3 weeks. Comparing Congress to any other English-speaking parliament 8s like comparing a 1955 Buick to a 2021 Toyota pickup.
Better than a kick in the balls, but not what was promised.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, is launching a political action committee to push back against a House GOP leadership team and party that he says have become too closely aligned to the former president. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-politics-impeachments-adam-kinzinger-political-action-committees-3e221ef16b7324026a280729da68ee0c
The “Country 1st” PAC, unveiled in a six-minute video released Sunday, will challenge the current direction of a GOP that Kinzinger says has wrongly become a “Trump-first party” to the detriment of the nation, as seen by the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
