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.

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!

Why the fuck was Tiffany Trump’s husband, Michael Boulos, a private citizen with no role in the Trump admin who has significant financial ties to the Middle East, sitting next to Marco Rubio during a high level meeting with UAE to discuss the Iran MOU.

BREAKING: Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon hit with HISTORIC first-ever impeachment for illegally dismantling the department she runs Linda McMahon — the former pro-wrestling executive Trump installed to run the Department of Education — is now facing the first impeachment of an Education Secretary in American history. And the reason is simple: she's accused of breaking federal law to destroy her own department.

Oregon Democrat Suzanne Bonamici introduced articles of impeachment Thursday, accusing McMahon of "illegally transferring the operations of 6 offices under the Department of Education to other Federal agencies."

Here's the core of it. The Department of Education was created by Congress in 1980. By law, only CONGRESS can shut it down. But McMahon — carrying out Trump's campaign promise to dismantle it — has been gutting the department piece by piece anyway, using backdoor "interagency agreements" to shove its programs over to Health and Human Services and the Labor Department.

The problem? Many of those programs are LEGALLY REQUIRED to stay within the Education Department. McMahon doesn't have the authority to move them. She's doing it anyway.

"McMahon has made it her mission to close down the Department of Education, something she does not have the right to do," Bonamici said on the House floor. And she made clear exactly who gets hurt: "Educators and parents, especially parents of students with DISABILITIES, are distraught and asking us to take action to stop these illegal transfers."

That's the cruelty at the heart of this. The Education Department administers critical protections and funding for students with disabilities — kids who depend on federal oversight to get the education they're legally entitled to. McMahon is throwing that into chaos.

McMahon's response was pure deflection, whining on X that Democrats think "an impeachable offense is working to improve student outcomes" before pivoting to her favorite culture-war obsession — attacking trans students, a focus of hers since day one.

The impeachment is unlikely to succeed in the GOP-controlled House. But it draws a crucial line: a Cabinet official cannot simply IGNORE the law and unilaterally dismantle a department Congress created.

A wrestling executive shouldn't get to bulldoze public education.

Whoever called CPS on Pete Buttigieg and his kids is truly f*cking evil and belongs in jail.

Horrifying. These politically charged attacks have become too common in America. It cannot be normalized, and leaders on both sides of the aisle must condemn this.

Keeping Pete, Chasten, and their children in my thoughts this week.

So Mamdani got landlords to fix their properties, balanced the city budget, lowered crime, froze rent, taxed the rich, and launched a free day care program and y’all still saying socialism will fail.

Ignorance.

Pete Buttigieg says he was separated from his children after someone made a false report to CPS.

Whoever is responsible for this must be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!

I stand with Pete and his husband Chasten.

Who is with me? ✋

Will this be part of Texas's Bible study?

Leviticus 19:33–34: “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself.”

Neither is Christian white nationalism. Here’s what is:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

And: “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.”

Got it now?

The Acting Attorney General is a corrupt lawbreaker.

@DAGToddBlanche will be disbarred.

He will be investigated next year by Congress.

And if the fact warrant it, he will be prosecuted by a future Administration.

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.

Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT

What the BBC did. They played clips of Trump out of chronological order. He complained. They apologised. That should have been it. But he sued them for $10 billion.

So the BBC is going to fully litigate all of Trump's actions surrounding the attack on the Capitol.

Excellent.
