@SpeakerJohnson @Judy1732243 You could ban stock trading by U.S. Representatives tomorrow with a simple change to House rules. It wouldn’t even have to go through the Senate or be signed by the President.

Instead you put this political gimmick up for a vote which had a poison pill for Dems in it - Voter ID.

Congratulations, America: we eliminated measles, then resurrected it through ignorance. Nothing says “freedom” like bringing back a disease modern medicine already defeated.
U.S. Measles cases just reached a 35 year HIGH, for the second record breaking year in a row.

Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?

Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China.

But the GOP is fighting communism!

Putin

Last night Donald Trump released a declassified document that says his own intelligence community identified Putin as personally running an operation to defeat my father in 2020, built around a fake Burisma corruption scandal centered around me and executed through prominent Americans.

Trump tasked his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to fly to Kyiv and meet a known Russian agent.

The Americans who ran, laundered, and legitimized the operation:

Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani. John Solomon. Joe DiGenova. Victoria Toensing. Lev Parnas. Igor Fruman. Chanel Rion. Sean Hannity. Steve Bannon. Miranda Devine. Ken Vogel. Ron Johnson. Chuck Grassley. James Comer. Jim Jordan.

To name a few.

An operation formally sanctioned by Trump's own Treasury Department on September 10, 2020, and expanded to include more named actors on January 11, 2021.

Oh, and don't forget the Russian-linked FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who later pleaded guilty to making the entire Burisma bribery story up.

The record exists and we have all the receipts, and more.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

Trump will lie about the 2020 election.
Trump will lie about the 2026 election.

But, if Trump claims powers he does not have, or tries to undermine free and fair election, we will sue and we will win.

If you doubt me, take a look at my record against him and the GOP in court.

BREAKING: Republicans just FAILED to secure enough votes for the “Take Care of America’s Veterans Act” in a massive win for the Veteran Community. The bill would have cut benefits for 1.5 million veterans by changing disability ratings for common conditions like tinnitus and sleep apnea and raising fees on VA home loans.

The TCAVA’s failure is a huge victory for the Democratic Veterans Caucus, which has led the fight against this bill since its introduction.

James Carville on Trump: “You look like the backside of a nutsack. That’s what you are Trump. No wonder Lindsey Graham’s always trying to lick your face. Your new name is Scrotumface. Because that’s what you are, Scrotumface”

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling Bill LeRoy an “insult to Jesus” because the veteran catcher and captain of the Savannah Bananas is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Standing in front of a roaring, sold-out Banana Ball crowd, LeRoy didn’t just clap back — he delivered a powerful, no-nonsense response that shook the stadium.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” LeRoy began, gripping the mic with calm intensity. “You want to know what’s a real insult to Jesus? Turning your back on people who need help while giving more to those who already have everything.”
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued, gesturing toward the crowd. “Separating families, shutting doors on those in need, and forgetting what ‘love thy neighbor’ actually means. That’s not the message I stand for — and it’s not the message this team stands for.”
“You know what insults Jesus? Preaching values while ignoring compassion. Talking about faith while practicing division. That’s not faith — that’s politics dressed up as religion.”
“I’m not a perfect Christian,” he said, a small smile crossing his face. “There’s only been one perfect man, and I’m not him. I’m just a catcher who believes in treating people right.”
“Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… So why do we keep choosing hate, division, and fear instead?”

The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households.

This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.

The President of the United States is a war criminal.

Fact, not opinion.

[Mr. Spock 🖖 (Commentary) @SpockResists]

After the Soviet Union collapsed, a group of corrupt wealthy oligarchs stole everything leaving the people with nothing.

This is what is happening.

Right now.

In the United States.

And so called “patriots” are cheering it on.

I'm not kidding, the only way to avert a devastating global energy crisis and war is to leak the Epstein files and remove Donald Trump from office. It needs to happen right now

James Carville EXPLODING on Trump is a must watch today.

His point is this. Millions of Americans aren’t “afflicted” with Trump Derangement syndrome. They are blessed with it:

“Look, you fat f*ck Trump — if you listen to this, you listen good!

I got Trump Derangement Syndrome. I hate the motherf*cker! And you know what? I don't want to get rid of it. I don't want to get better! I want to get WORSE! I want to hate him MORE!"

"I pray to God in heaven: God, reign the righteous reign of Trump Derangement Syndrome on me. Pray for me, Lord. I'm your vessel on this earth."

"Pray for the people that listen to this. We want MORE! We want to HATE the son of a b*tch so much that we can't see straight!"

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump's illegal war of choice against Iran.

They chose fealty to Trump over our troops' lives.
