BREAKING: HELL YES! Rep. Robert Garcia pounds the war drums to go "all f*cking in" on investigating Trump and holding these MAGA criminals accountable.

You can't make bipartisan peace with fascists...

"Todd Blanche is threatening now, the Attorney General of the United States of America, is threatening to investigate Democrats who promise to hold the administration accountable. Do you see this as a threat? And how do you intend to deal with this?" progressive commentator Jennifer Welch asked Garcia during his appearance on her podcast.

"Well, it is a threat. There's no question. I'm not new to this," replied the congressman. "Year and a half ago, Donald Trump and his DOJ sent me a letter that they were opening an investigation on me because I was critical of Elon Musk, if you can believe that. And so I, you know, put that word in the garbage where it needed to go."

"But at the end of the day, this is a moment for Democrats, we have to have the courage to stand up to this authoritarian government, we have to have the courage to take on Donald Trump and know that he is going to use every tool at his disposal," he continued.

"In this case, the DOJ, the Department of Justice, the FBI, God knows what else his billionaire friends and buddies and donors to go after us to intimidate us," Garcia went on. "But we're not going to be and I'm certainly not going to be intimidated. We're not going to be intimidated."

Blanche absurdly stated on Sunday that if Democratic lawmakers use their legally enshrined powers to investigate this administration, they could be violating the law. That's how corrupt and perverse our Justice Department has become under Trump. The Attorney General is now stating that investigating crimes is a crime. It's a desperate bid at intimidation from an administration that knows its days are numbered now that Democrats have subpoena power.

"And yes, they're going to throw everything they have at us," said Garcia, who will be heading the House Oversight Committee. "They're going to try to destroy our character, they're going to try to demean us and try to, quite frankly, send out their their MAGA universe to come after us. But we are going to stand strong because we have the people behind us. And more importantly, this is a moment in this country, where if you're not willing to put yourself in the way of danger, if you're not willing to kind of put yourself and know that there is real risks, this isn't the right job."

"This is not like being in Congress at any other moment in history," he said. "And I think I tell my colleagues this all the time. We are we are withstanding right now in between a complete takeover by authoritarian dictators and oligarchs that are trying to raid the Treasury raid the American taxpayer destroy the world order. "

"And we just so happen to be the ones in Congress at this moment, as if we're not all fucking in. Yeah, then then then what the hell are we doing?" Garcia asked.

We couldn't agree more with Congressman Garcia. Americans showed up in historic numbers at the polls last Tuesday to vote blue because we're tired of being ruled over by a blatantly criminal President and his henchmen. Democrats in Congress can't just make nice with these monsters. They have to deliver on their promises and pull back the curtain on all of the corruption.

This is, without caveat, the most lawless White House in American history. It's time to bring it crashing down.

Please ❤️ and share to urge Democrats to stand with Garcia!

BREAKING: “BIGGEST LOSER!” Donald Trump gets a BRUTAL verdict from American voters in a new poll – and even his own MAGA supporters admit their movement got CLOBBERED in the midterms!

Donald Trump loves calling other people losers. Now a new Politico poll has definitely determined who the real loser is.

A whopping 62% of Americans named Trump a “loser” in last week's midterm elections, making him the biggest loser among the groups and figures surveyed. And right behind him? His beloved MAGA movement. But here's where things get REALLY embarrassing.

Even among self-identified MAGA supporters, 45% agreed that their own movement was the real loser in the election!

Finally, Trump’s drooling horde seems to have found some self-awareness in the wake of the Republicans’ political disaster, even if they're reluctant to blame the man who led them over the cliff.

What does it say when MAGA supporters are more willing to call their own movement a loser than to say the same about Trump himself? It’s a cult.

The poll also found that a majority of Americans considered both moderate and progressive Democrats winners in the election, while of course Republicans who don't identify with MAGA overwhelmingly regarded Trump as the real loser.

Trump has built his entire political identity around being a “winner” while mocking all his adversaries.

Americans have delivered their own verdict on his midterm performance, both at the polls and confirmed by Politico.

The “YMCA”-loving Trump is probably hates the Beatles because they were more popular than he was in his youth. Still, it may be time for him to cue up a song of theirs he can relate to.

“I’m a Loser.”

BREAKING: MONSTER! Donald Trump Jr. rushes to defend convicted rapist Russell Brand by saying that "no one had a problem" with it before.

Clearly, he sees his father in the disgraced comedian...

“So when he was like married to Katy Perry, he’s one of the most famous actors in the world, no one seemed to have a problem,” Don Jr. said on his Rumble show "Triggered."

“No one seemed to think he was a rapist then, but he finds God, I guess, changes his ways, sees some aspects of conservative life, and talks about them. And now he’s going to spend ten and a half years in prison for rape when no one had a problem with it in the prior 27 years,” he added.

Brand was sentenced to ten and a half years this week for raping a woman and sexually assaulting three others over the course of five years, starting in 2004. There have been numerous other accusations against the self-proclaimed "sex addict."

Don Jr. called the sentence "severe," but frankly we don't think it's severe enough. Brand is a serial predator who clearly sees women as objects to be terrorized and abused. The world is safer with him behind bars.

What's more, the assertion that this conviction is reprisal for Brand embracing far-right politics in recent years is absurd. His pivot from being an atheist libertine to a Bible-thumping conservative was as predictable as it was transparent.

This is the playbook every time a famous person is accused of heinous sexual crimes. They do a hard pivot to the right, confident that they'll be embraced by reactionaries who are starved for celebrity. They know that if they say the right things, and prattle on about Jesus enough, Fox News, and Tucker Carlson, and Republican politicians will fawn over them.

Of course, Brand's conversion to Christianity is a total farce. If this man really believed that Jesus Christ is his Lord and savior, he'd have atoned for his crimes. It's not enough to simply call yourself a Christian, you have to act like one. You have to repent and admit to your sins. Brand never did that because this was never about the teachings of Jesus. It was about crafting cover for his inevitable court case.

"Now, take a step back and think about what this tells you about a society that seems to decide punishment and sentencing based on who you are instead of what you did," whined Don Jr. "The same establishment that lectures America about norms can’t find a consistent sentence for the worst crime on the books."

“Like I always say, it’s just yet another example of how Britain is falling and failing to uphold any sense of equal justice," he added. "And again, the stuff that I’ve read with Russell, they were doing some pretty crazy stuff, and then it went further. There were no complaints. Then 27 years later, rape. It’s crazy."

The fact that it took so long to convict Brand for his crimes doesn't prove that he's innocent, it just demonstrates how easily predators are able to operate in the open if they have enough money, power, and influence. Famous men are able to intimidate their victims into silence, which is exactly what Donald Trump Jr.'s father did for years. It's no wonder he feels a knee-jerk impulse to publicly defend a convicted rapist.

Please ❤️ and share if you're glad Brand is going to prison!

BREAKING: OUTRAGE! Nine Kennedy family members join lawsuit to STOP Trump's towering monument from overshadowing JFK's grave.

The giant golden monumental arch that Donald Trump wants to build to celebrate himself just got another prominent set of opponents seeking to ensure that it never actually sees the light of day.

According to The New York Times, nine members of the Kennedy family moved Tuesday to join a lawsuit trying to block Trump’s planned 250-foot triumphal arch, the one that critics call the “Arc de Trump.” The plaintiffs are children and grandchildren of Sens. Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy, who are buried near their brother, President John F. Kennedy, at Arlington National Cemetery.

The move comes after the family successfully fought against adding Trump’s name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

The arch, topped with golden angels and a flame, would stand between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington. The family’s filing says it would “permanently cast a shadow over plaintiffs’ parents’ graves and the graves of servicemen and -women who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.”

It would also block the view from JFK’s eternal flame across the Memorial Bridge to the Lincoln Memorial. The filing says that sightline was “designed to represent the unification of the nation following the Civil War” and has existed for nearly a century. Blocking it would destroy “an essential element of the gravesite’s design.”

Rory and Maxwell Kennedy, children of Robert and Ethel Kennedy, said: “A towering arch casting shadows across the graves of our father, mother and uncles, as well as the graves of so many who have served our country, would also cast a shadow over our democratic principles.”

Remember who else is a child of Robert F. Kennedy: Trump’s Health Secretary, RFK Jr. His own siblings are now in court fighting his boss over their parents’ graves.

The Kennedys are joining a crowded fight. Veterans, a historian, the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Arlington County are already suing. Last Thursday, the National Capital Planning Commission, which is run by Trump allies, gave the arch final approval. Almost immediately, Judge Tanya Chutkan blocked construction for 14 days. In a 33-page opinion, she said the arch needs approval from Congress, could be costly to Virginia and D.C., and would disrupt traffic at one of the region’s most-visited sites.

That’s the same Congress Democrats just won.

“Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize an intrusion of this magnitude,” said the family’s lawyers, Norman Eisen and Steve Jonas of the Democracy Defenders Fund.

Look at the pattern. Trump tore down the East Wing for a ballroom. He cut down 400 trees to remake a public golf course. He has tried to put his name on the Kennedy Center. Now he wants a 25-story arch overshadowing one of the most sacred places in the country, the cemetery where America buries its war dead.

Arlington belongs to the people buried there and to the families who mourn them. It is not — and should never be — a backdrop for Trump’s ego.

Please like and share if you agree!

Okay this is where its at. Put it on the table and just throw his name on it to make him happy. But give everyone Universal healthcare!

BREAKING: GET HIM! Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed DOGWALKS Pete Hegseth on TV with a humiliating takedown as impeachment picks up steam.

The worst Defense Secretary in history's days are numbered...

"You mentioned the things that you think Democrats need to address on day one, tariffs, the Medicaid cuts, the Iran war," said Kaitlan Collins. "Hegseth, Secretary Hegseth was on the verge of potentially facing an impeachment vote today, but Republican leaders were successful in killing it. Is that something you want to see Democrats revive?"

While it's true that Republicans were able to kill a motion to impeach Hegseth today, it's a short-term solution for them. Come January, the Democratic majority takes power at which point impeachment will sail through the House. It will require a 2/3 majority in the Senate to remove Hegseth, but it's entirely possible that Republicans will jump ship to score points against this radioactive administration. Nothing is out of the question at this point.

"Can you imagine being Pete Hegseth right now? Like, why are you still in your job?" said El-Sayed. "I mean, it's an open question, like, Pete, like, really, just open question, why are you still doing this job? You are really bad at this!"

"You are failing your responsibility. You have mishandled this war, and nobody really actually understands what it is you're about," he continued. "Every day you're talking about fighting a new cultural war, but, like, you're supposed to be waging an actual war that is actually illegal on its own terms."

"So, just resign," urged El-Sayed. "Make it easy for everybody instead of, in the end, getting taken out, because that is clearly what's happening. So, Pete, just take it from me, like, you're not good at this."

While Hegseth would indeed be wise to resign to save himself from the humiliation of impeachment, that won't be enough to stop the metaphorical hounds. He needs to be investigated and prosecuted for war crimes. This man doesn't belong inside the Pentagon, he belongs in prison.

Please ❤️ and share if you support prosecuting Hegseth!

Gonna miss Thomas Massie for sick burns like this one on Pete Hegseth:

"I hope he addresses the eight articles and doesn't get up and misquote the bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do pull-ups and, you know, call everybody fat and gay for being for this impeachment. Like, I may have just given half his speech. I don't know."

BREAKING: LEADERSHIP! Sen. Chris Van Hollen demands that Congress REMOVE the borderline treasonous provisions in the defense bill that would entwine the U.S. military with Israel.

This man is one hell of a fighter...

"Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself," Van Hollen wrote on X.

He reshared a video from July in which he outlined the problems in detail—

"A little while ago, I got off the Senate floor, where I urged my colleagues to vote no tomorrow to advance the National Defense Authorization Bill," said the senator. "And I gave three reasons..."

"One, it's a bloated budget to a Pentagon that continues to fail to pass an audit. Number two, no restraints on Trump's illegal war against Iran, essentially giving a green light to that illegal war that's been disastrous for the American people."

"But there are two provisions that have gotten very little attention, that are kind of crawling through quietly. Both have to do with greater support to the government of Israel," Van Hollen explained. "One of them is a provision Netanyahu has taken credit for pushing, which would require more joint defense cooperation between the United States and Israel."

Netanyahu has indeed been pushing for this measure and it's easy to see why. The American people have soured on Israel as an ally thanks to the atrocities in Gaza. We don't want to see our tax dollars flowing overseas to kill innocent Palestinians. Recognizing that shifting opinions mean their blank check days are over, Israel wants to mutate America's support into a more opaque, yet no less lethal, form. They want to mandate a deep entanglement of our countries, using our national-security apparatus to secure their own interests.

"We know from our own experience that Israel has previously vetoed our ability to act in our own national security interests when we wanted to send some weapon systems to Ukraine that had been co-produced with Israel," said Van Hollen. "And Israel blocked us from doing it."

"Another provision requires, mandates, that the U.S. government share more intelligence with the government of Israel," he went on. "Look, we can share intelligence with the government of Israel or any other government when we want. Why would the United States Congress order the executive branch to share more intelligence, regardless of what the government of Israel is doing? Why would we be doing that? We shouldn't."

"It's not in our national security interests to do it. We can always choose, on a case-by-case basis, to do whatever we want. Let's not mandate it," he concluded.

We commend Senator Van Hollen for taking a stand on this issue. This country has suffered enough from Israel First politicians choosing that foreign country's priorities over what's best for Americans.

Van Hollen's name has been bubbling up amongst the Democratic base since the blue tsunami, with many calling for him to challenge Chuck Schumer for the Senate Majority Leadership. He says he “hasn’t shut the door" on the possibility.

What do you think?

Please ❤️ and share if you support Senator Van Hollen!

BREAKING: HERE COME THE RADICAL COMMUNISTS! New Republican Whip Tom Emmer throws a spectacular TANTRUM over the Democrats' election victory – threatens to make them REGRET ever running for Congress!

Tough guy Rep. Tom Emmer has a message for the Democrats who just won control of the House: Enjoy your victory while you can, because he's coming after YOU!

“To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase because come January 3rd, 2027, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot,” Emmer thundered.

And what terrible fate awaits these unfortunate Democrats?

“House Republicans will hold each and every Democrat accountable for every vote cast, every committee hearing held, and every sentence said on MSDNC,” he warned.

Every vote! Every hearing! Every sentence!

And Emmer was just getting warmed up after that sick burn on MS NOW.

“This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats' lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are,” he declared.

That's right. RADICAL COMMUNISTS are invading Washington, and apparently the only thing standing between America and the Red Menace is Tom Emmer and his fellow Republicans.

Of course, there's one little problem with his cocky bluster:

Democrats just won a double majority in the election BIGLY. The voters have already had a chance to consider Republican accusations that Democrats are communists, and voted them in in droves anyway.

We think Republicans would have better luck if they spent less time calling their opponents communists and more time figuring out why Americans voted them out of power.

The people spoke. And we didn’t want the likes of you any more.

See you in January.
