If Fox News can still scare you with a migrant caravan every time MAGA Republicans run out of material, you’re a fucking idiot.

Rep. Al Green just threw it back in their face on the House floor:

“If you want to talk about language that causes violence, start with the President who called Democrats ‘lunatics.’”

Talarico: On election night, as I was delivering my victory speech, I noticed a woman up front. The lights were bright, so I couldn’t see her face, but I was struck by her attention, how closely she was listening, how much this moment meant to her.

As I finished speaking, I looked down again, and she had made her way to the front of the stage. I bent down to shake her hand, and I realized who she was.

She looked me in the eyes, and she said, “I’m so glad you have my father’s job.”

Lucy Baines Johnson was there to see another public school teacher take her dad’s Senate seat.

BREAKING: Democratic bruiser Congressman-elect Richard Ojeda unleashes a VOLCANIC takedown of Trump's failed Iran War: "The good guys do not bomb children in schools!"

This guy is quickly becoming a personal favorite of ours...

"You served in Iraq," began journalist Major Garrett during a conversation on his show "The Takeout."

"Yes," said Ojeda, who served in the Army for 24 years.

"You said that war was sold on a lie."

"Yes."

"What is your attitude about the Iran war?" asked Garrett.

"It's unacceptable. We need to end this war now," Ojeda said bluntly. "We're not the good guys. The good guys don't bomb children in schools. The good guys do not bomb children in hospitals. You know, we're in the wrong here, and that's just the way that it is."

We couldn't agree more and it's so refreshing to hear an elected official state the facts in such stark, unapologetic fashion. Trump launched this war to forward Israel's national interests. Iran posed no threat to us and our own intelligence agencies concluded that they weren't pursuing nuclear weapons. This is an illegal war of aggression that has accomplished nothing beyond pointless suffering and death and higher gas prices.

"We were committed to a war with no exit strategy," said Ojeda. "You know, and what's really the worst part about this is how dare you, how dare you send troops into harm's way while you're actively trying to gut the Veterans Administration, which is what every single one of those people that make it home are going to rely on for the rest of their lives!"

"You believe this administration is gutting the Veterans Administration?" asked Garrett.

"Absolutely. Absolutely," said Ojeda without hesitation.

"In what way?" asked Garrett.

"Period! I mean, cutting funding from the VA, trying to make it harder for people to be able to file their claims, cutting the Veterans Administration in terms of jobs," said Ojeda. "I mean, goodness gracious, DOGE fired 7,000 jobs. The big horrible bill targets like 86,000."

"You know, how dare you claim to support the veteran?" he continued. "You know, these are the people that will knock a person down to take a picture with the veteran coming off of a plane from a combat zone. But when it comes to standing up for those veterans, they're quiet, and that's unacceptable!"

And Ojeda isn't just talk. He's already publicly demanding that Hegseth be impeached for his horrific conduct as Defense Secretary and will be aggressively supporting the efforts to remove him once Democrats take power in January.

Ojeda is exactly the kind of no-nonsense, rhetorical brawler that Democrats need in the House right now. We can't wait to see what he does once he's sworn in.

Please ❤️ and share if you're becoming a big fan of Richard Ojeda!

It’s interesting how the incoming members of the House all made it to picture day without getting stuck in traffic.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

[Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 @commons96055467]

Trump is saving his ass by throwing Lutnick to the curb. Trump is knee deep in INVIDIA spy scandal himself. Trump was aware along with Lutnick, but did he participate in any money exchanges? Did trump profit from this breach of our national security?

No one is talking about the horrific VETERANS CUT bill that passed yesterday. This is on top of missing the Hegseth impeachment vote.

This morning I saw a big Dodge pickup in N Texas that had a handmade sign on the back of their truck that read:
Hey Mr Trump... we DID vote like you were on the ballot.

Stop calling a pregnant 11-year-old a ‘mother.’ She’s a child who was raped. Dressing it up with a pretty label doesn’t change the fact that you care more about the pregnancy than the little girl.

AOC just called out the media for spending years fixated on Biden’s cognition while barely touching Trump’s very real cognitive decline and escalating erratic behavior.

SOMEONE IS HAVING A REALLY BAD WEEK

After being blown out in the election 9 days ago, Ken Paxton announced today that he and his wife, have finalized their divorce after more than 38 years of marriage.

She probably voted for Talarico, too!

Your Thoughts?

Jason Crow, Lauren Underwood, and Morgan McGarvey deserve enormous credit for the Democrats’ midterm victories. As the DCCC’s recruitment co-chairs, they helped recruit the candidates who delivered.

They didn't just help win an election. They helped build the team that won it.
