19th century term for a liar, a cheat, generally dishonest and untrustworthy; a scoundrel. I propose a replacement: a trump. ( he does like his name on things)

BREAKING: GET HIM! Congressman Jamie Raskin DISMANTLES Mike Johnson after he whined that Democrats will investigate Republican corruption if we win the midterms.

The MAGA Speaker walked face-first into this one...

"If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats, y'all impeachment's not even the big concern," said Johnson. "They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the President's family, the Cabinet, his donors and friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you."

Oh, the horror! Imagine if Congress actually exercised its oversight powers to rein in the most lawless President in American history as he loots the treasury, lines his pockets from crypto scams, starts foreign wars on behalf of Israel, and covers up his own involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's massive child sex trafficking ring.

Raskin saw the jaw-dropping Johnson clip and quickly pounced—

"1. Speaker Johnson, you’re obsessing about losing the House but don’t seem to realize it’s because you have no program for the country other than illegal disastrous tariffs, illegal disastrous war and humiliating invertebrate submission to your unraveling cult master," wrote Raskin.

"2. You’re projecting onto us your own comically failed and obsessive investigations into President Biden, the Southern Poverty Law Center, James Comey, George Soros, etc."

"3. We obviously must confront the debilitating corruption and authoritarianism you have enabled, but at the same time we’re going to move America forward on all the public goods you have thwarted, like the health care of the people, increasing the minimum wage and protecting our environment."

"4. I agree that you 'run the protection program' and 'take care' of all MAGA violators!"

That last point is worth paying attention to. Johnson sounds exactly like a mafia don in a low budget gangster flick, which is presumably a habit he picked up from his cult leader Donald. The Republican Party is now indistinguishable from a criminal organization. They violate the Constitution daily while turning a blind eye to Trump's endless parade of lawbreaking.

Johnson's speech has become an accidental campaign ad for Democrats. If you care about upholding the law and restoring our democracy, you have to vote blue.

What do you want Democrats to prioritize when we retake power? Sound off!

Please ❤️ and share if you'll NEVER vote Republican for as long as you live!

The President just made thousands of stock trades — and then he turned around and made decisions that shifted those companies’ bottom lines. It's corrupt, and we need to end it.

Because I posted this, Musk is really throttling my account. He doesn’t want the Epstein files trending. Let’s see if we can keep this trending and get it up to a million likes and RT’s! Do not stop talking about the Epstein files. Keep the flame burning! 🔥 #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.

Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.

So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

1/ Here it is - in one🧵

[Annie @AnnieForTruth]

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Does anyone else notice that no matter how many folks are posting about the Epstein files, it never trends on X?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The Trump regime has killed at least 210 people by bombing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since last September.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

This is a danger to us all. https://t.co/rQOadGfmzZ

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United.

Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.

Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

It does not have to be like this. https://t.co/3cM4EqXxLj

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

A new report revealed that Trump’s ballroom will cost $600 million, with over half that coming from taxpayers.

That’s despite his initial claims that taxpayers wouldn’t pay a dime and it would only cost $400 million.

Here’s what else you should know about his vanity project…

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Don’t believe Trump’s claim that he’s achieved victory in Iran.

Compared to where we were on February 28, when he began this war, his so-called “deal” is a terrible failure.

Your money — whether it’s a 401K, a pension, or a college endowment — is now tied up in Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Guess who will be stuck holding the bag when the rocket crashes?

Thanks to Trump's tax cuts for the rich, Social Security's trustees warn the program will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2032.

There's only one way to reverse this trend.

Scrap the cap on income subject to Social Security taxes.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”

“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”

"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation."

"I love the inflation."

Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections.

Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it.

Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win.

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man.

Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does.

A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching.

Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

It's never been about what this country can afford. It's about priorities.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

This is to all the ignorant people out there, pretending that California is cheating in this election. Here’s a reminder that last year a republican was arrested for registering her dog to vote in Orange County, California. Do you know how they caught her? They checked IDs.

Republicans are lying and they are actually the ones who seem to commit fraud more than Democrats.

[LanaQuest aka RosaSparks @LqLana]

I will not be distracted.

Trump’s name is all over a Pedophile File.

This is a huge story.

His name appears third to Epstein and Ghislaine.

He was more than just a pedo customer. He was a part of the enterprise.

Children as young as 9 were abused and Blanche will do absolutely anything to not reveal the abusers. #DemsUnited
