Marjorie Taylor Greene Upset By Note Left For Her In Her Office: 'Really Bothers Me'

Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr In a video released to social media, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed a note she received encouraging her to vote for more aid to Ukraine. In a video released on social media Wednesday, conservative firebrand Marjorie Teller expressed her anger at a note she received, encouraging her to vote for more AIDS in Ukraine. The note, which was meant to convey the dire situation faced by Ukrainians suffering under Russian aggression, prompted the Georgia Republicans to demand more spending on American citizens. Continued AIDS Ukraine has become a thorn in the side of hard-right politicians who have demanded that U.S. tax dollars be spent on citizens rather than on foreign conflicts. Most Democrats and Republicans disagree, viewing support for Ukraine as both morally and geopolitically necessary and key to quelling continued Russian aggression. Politicians such as Green's detractors argue that if Russia succeeds in its inv...

  Photo credit: Gage Skidmore/CC BY-SA 2.0,  via Flickr At today's House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-TX) spoke about drug policy. Rep. Gaetz in his remarks said: Mr. Chairman, I can't imagine being one of the 232 people sitting in federal prison right now thinking if I had committed the exact same offense after President Trump had signed the first step act, I wouldn't be here anymore. I'd be with my family. But instead, because of what I think is a flawed determination that didn't allow retroactivity, we are treating people differently for committing the same offenses. We're incarcerating some people for the very same offenses that they would otherwise not be incarcerated for. And so I think that's an appropriate fix. There has been discussion today about fentanyl and it irks me every time I hear someone talk about fentanyl overdoses. Because no one overdoses on fentanyl because I don't think anybody really sets out to, like, sco...
