BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett enrages MAGA world by unveiling a new "game" called "Trump or trans" during a hearing to prove her point about who's really hurting American families.

The funniest part was when she unveiled her prop...

"I want to play a game. It's called 'Trump or trans.' You ready? So I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to tell me whether or not it is Trump or trans people that are responsible, you understand?" Crockett said to Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center.

Goss Graves was testifying before the House Oversight Subcommittee on DOGE to voice her opposition to the Trump administration's ongoing attacks on trans people.

"Got it," Goss Graves replied to Crockett.

"The first one: Gutted medical research?" asked Crockett.

"Trump," replied Goss Graves.

The two went back and forth from there—

"Kidnapping Americans and sending them to foreign countries AKA deporting them?" asked Crockett.

"Trump."

"Driving us into a recession?"

"Trump."

"Increasing the cost of everything?"

"Trump."

"Waging an idiotic tariff war?"

"Trump."

"Harming farmers?"

"Trump."

"Ignoring the Constitution?"

"Trump."

"Proposing to take away Social Security?"

"Trump."

"Cutting healthcare?"

"Trump."

"Firing government workers who keep our country safe?"

"Trump."

"Encouraging an environment of hate and divisiveness?"

"Trump."

"Thank you so much," said Crockett. "This committee could be engaged in actual oversight of fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. So let's talk about waste..."

"Like Trump's plan to spend almost $100 million for his little birthday parade," she continued. "Or how he spent 25% of his first 100 days golfing, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. In fact, it's a little bit over $30 million at our last estimation."

At this point, the Congresswoman unveiled a hilarious image of Trump golfing with his wasteful expenses catalogued beside it.

"In fact, President Trump is on pace to spend more than a billion dollars of taxpayer dollars just on golfing. Yet the Republicans have been silent," said Crockett. "So they must think spending taxpayer dollars on the president's golfing trips is more important than providing healthcare to their constituents."

This is an absolute slam dunk from Crockett. She's correct that the MAGA hyper-fixation on demonizing and scapegoating transgender people is a pathetic effort to distract from the fact that Republicans are robbing us blind and trashing our country.

Trans people didn't put these disastrous tariffs in place and crater our economy.

Donald Trump did.

BREAKING: The wife of a serviceman whose life was endangered by Trump officials sharing war plans in an unsecured group chat goes for the jugular of her MAGA senator — threatening to "destroy his career" if he ignores her phone calls.

This is absolutely incredible...

"My husband was one of the service members put at risk by the signal chats that Sen. Mullin is now LYING about in this video he filmed instead of returning my calls," Kendall Brown — who goes by the username @kendallybrown on X — wrote in a post, quote-tweeting Mullin.

"So here's a snippet of my convo with his office today. I meant every word of this. I expect a call, Senator," she added, attaching a video of herself calling into his office, demanding to speak with him about SignalGate.

Mullin, a hardcore Trumper, has dismissed the SignalGate scandal and has instead been ranting about Hillary Clinton's emails as if it were 2015 instead of 2025.

In her video, Brown claims to be the wife of one of the servicemen who was endangered when Secretary of Pete Hegseth and other Trump officials openly discussed American strikes on the Houthis in Yemen in their group chat. At some point, the Editor-in-Chief of the Atlantic was accidentally added to the chat.

"But I do want to make it very clear and I hope that you do take down this message and relay it to the senator to help encourage him to actually be a man and make sure that I get a call set up when I reach out to the scheduler," Brown says in the video to someone on the other end of the phone.

"I want you to let him know that if he doesn't reach out to me I am recording every single time that I have called his office and left a voicemail or spoke to an intern like you," she went on.

"I am recording all of those and if I don't hear back from him I will be sending them to every possible newsroom both in Oklahoma and nationally to let them know that the senator is too much of a coward to call back the wife of the service members in his constituency that was put at risk," she continued.

"And so help me God if I have to quit my f*cking job to make sure that I can drive to every f*cking campaign and public event that the senator has for the rest of his career, I will make it my life's work to destroy his career by making sure that every f*cking Oklahoman knows how few f*cks he gave about my husband's live and the lives of other active duty service members," she stated.

"Yes ma'am, I understand," said the person on the other end of the line.

Brown expanded on her story in followup tweets—

"Just got back on Twitter to discover this tweet going viral unexpectedly. 😳" she wrote. "So just to be clear: My husband is deployed in that area & would be impacted by OPSEC failures/attacks but was not involved in the Houthi strikes themselves. Don't want to inadvertently mislead anyone!"

She also hit back at the MAGA trolls—

"Muting this thread now, as the inevitable onslaught of conservative trolls has descended," she wrote. "Consider this my blanket response to all of them: You are correct, I'm fat. Despite that, I still get laid more than you, and your president is still an incompetent loser. 😘"

"Oh look, they absolutely did text war plans and classified info," she wrote in another post, tweeting an image of the group chat. "I look forward to apologies from all of the losers in my mentions melting down & calling me a liar (jk, I know yall aren’t capable of the insight an apology requires)."

"just some free advice for the conservatives in my mentions: when normies see you respond to a military wife criticizing the admin with 'oh yeah well you’re a FAT B*TCH' it immediately makes *my* side look reasonable," she added. "You idiots can’t hurt my feelings but you CAN hurt your cause."

Well done Mrs. Brown! Truly patriotic Americans stand with you and your husband against this shockingly incompetent administration. Everyone involved in that group chat should be fired immediately.

“To be clear, free speech is not about whatever it is y'all want somebody to say. And the idea that you want to shut down everybody that is not Fox News is bullshit. We need to stop playing because that's what y'all are doing in here. You don't you want to hear the opinions of anybody else."

Jessica Aber’s death feels like one of those stories that’s meant to fade quietly into the background — a tragic headline that people are supposed to forget. But when a career prosecutor who spent her life chasing Russian cybercriminals, CIA leaks, and war criminals turns up dead just weeks after resigning, forgetting isn’t an option.
Aber, the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was found dead at her home in Alexandria on March 22. She was 43 years old. Police haven’t said how she died, but the timing — and her unfinished business — makes it impossible to ignore.
THE PROSECUTOR WHO WOULDN’T BACK DOWN
Jessica Aber wasn’t just a lawyer — she was the person you sent in when things got messy.
In January, just before her resignation, Aber helped put Asif Rahman, a former CIA analyst, behind bars for leaking top-secret information about Israeli military plans against Iran. The information ended up splashed across social media in October 2024.
Aber didn’t mince words when Rahman pleaded guilty. She warned that his leak had “placed lives at risk” and “compromised our ability to collect vital intelligence in the future.” That’s prosecutor-speak for this guy seriously screwed things up. Whatever Rahman leaked, it wasn’t just embarrassing — it was dangerous.
BIG CASES, BIGGER ENEMIES
Aber’s cases didn’t stop there. In November 2024, her office prosecuted a Virginia-based company accused of funneling sensitive U.S. technology to a Russian telecom firm with Kremlin ties. It wasn’t exactly an accident — the company allegedly disguised shipments and played fast and loose with American tech that Russia wasn’t supposed to have.
Then there was the war crimes indictment. Aber’s office charged four Russian-linked individuals with torturing and unlawfully detaining a U.S. national in Ukraine. She wasn’t just making legal noise — she was putting serious pressure on powerful figures with deep connections.
Aber’s career was a parade of people you wouldn’t want showing up at your funeral — oligarchs, cybercriminals, and corrupt players with resources to make problems disappear.
A SUSPICIOUS EXIT
Aber resigned in January 2025, just after Donald Trump returned to power. Nobody’s said she was forced out, but resigning from one of the country’s most powerful U.S. Attorney’s offices weeks after jailing a rogue CIA analyst feels a little too clean.
It’s not hard to imagine why someone like Aber might suddenly find herself in a tight spot. Trump’s return came with a wave of loyalty tests and DOJ shakeups — and Aber’s aggressive pursuit of Russian networks and CIA leaks doesn’t exactly scream “team player” in this new political climate.
If she was pressured to resign, what cases got quietly buried when she left?
A SYSTEM THAT’S GONE SOFT ON POWER
The Supreme Court’s ruling in July 2024 handed Trump near-total immunity for “core presidential powers,” including military command. Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that this decision could allow a president to order an assassination — and face no legal consequences.
By the time Aber resigned, that ruling had already cast a long shadow over the Department of Justice. Prosecutors like Aber — the kind who took on powerful players with foreign connections — were now working in an environment where accountability had been gutted.
If Aber’s investigations had exposed something that threatened powerful interests, the court’s ruling would have made it easier for those interests to apply pressure — or worse — without consequence.
Her resignation may have been voluntary. It may not have been. But by the time Aber walked away from her post, the guardrails protecting prosecutors like her were already crumbling.
WHAT DID ABER KNOW?
Jessica Aber knew things that mattered — things that powerful people wanted buried. She chased down Russian cybercriminals, locked up a CIA leaker who compromised military intelligence, and tangled with foreign operatives who wouldn’t hesitate to make problems disappear.
Now she’s gone, and the timing stinks.
Maybe her death was just an awful coincidence. Maybe it wasn’t. But when the people investigating corruption start turning up dead, there’s only one responsible thing to do:

Fifteen years ago today, I stood with President Obama as he signed the Affordable Care Act into law. It was a big deal then and it still is today.

Under my administration, we focused on building on the successes of the ACA. I’m proud that we helped a record number of Americans sign up for marketplace coverage and significantly lowered the costs of prescription drugs and premiums.

I believe that health care is a right, not a privilege – and we should always protect it.
