Schiff: No matter how many false justifications or slanders you level against me, you but indict yourselves. As Liz Cheney said, there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone. But your dishonor will remain.

John Eastman’s actions were an “egregious and unprecedented attack on our democracy.” If the charges are proven, “Eastman must be held responsible and never be allowed to practice law again.”

This “censure” is a badge of honor for the great @RepAdamSchiff and a stain on the history of the House of Representatives.

BREAKING: Congressman Jamie Raskin responds to the news of Hunter Biden’s guilty plea by brilliantly turning the table on Donald Trump and his corrupt family.

In a defiant exclusive statement provided to PoliticusUSA, Raskin declared:

“Hunter Biden has been criminally charged by Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware with two misdemeanor tax counts and a firearms count. This development reflects the Justice Department’s continued institutional independence in following the evidence of actual crimes and enforcing the rule of law even in the face of constant criticism and heckling by my Republican colleagues who think that the system of justice should only follow their partisan wishes.”

But Raskin saved the best for last, declaring that:

“Oversight Committee Republicans have advanced debunked conspiracy theories about President Biden and are now, again, wailing about the work of a Trump appointed U.S. Attorney. Meanwhile, our colleagues have refused to investigate Jared Kushner and Donald Trump’s receipt of billions of dollars from autocratic regimes after handing them a string of outrageous policy favors and concessions.”

Well done, Congressman Raskin. Trump and Ivanka’s husband Jared Kusher sold out America to the Saudis and other adversaries, and robbed our country blind, but Republicans refuse to investigate them and are running a shameless victory lap over Hunter Biden’s misdemeanor tax crimes.

BREAKING: Country music superstar Garth Brooks defies Republicans, declares that he will absolutely serve Bud Light as his new bar — and if conservatives don’t like it, they can take their business elsewhere.

But it gets even better….

The country icon declared that, “If you come into this bar, you just love one another. Otherwise, there are plenty of other places on Lower Broadway to go. Diversity. Inclusiveness. That's me. It's always been me. I think that diversity is the answer to the problems that are here and the answer to the problems that are coming. So I love diversity."

Well said, Garth!

BREAKING: An unhinged conservative husband and wife interrupt an elementary school track-and-field meet, accuse a 9-year old girl with short hair of being a boy, and demand that the young girl produce her birth certificate in the middle of the race or be disqualified.

But it gets worse…

After the bigoted couple was asked to leave, the wife began accusing the young girl’s lesbian mothers of being “groomers,” “pedophiles,” and “genital mutilators” in front of everyone — causing the traumatized young girl to break down sobbing in tears and shaking.

They refused to leave, and eventually the police had to be called in.

One of the young girl’s mothers filed a report with the local police about the incident, declaring that, “This is absolutely a hate crime. It is a direct result of this right-wing propaganda that has become so rampant in our media.”

In response to the incident, the Central Okanagan School District says that “the persons who accosted the student and family were not from one of our Central Okanagan Public Schools. In response, the District has worked with other local schools to identify the persons and we are taking steps to formally ban them from any District property or events.“

BREAKING: Retired U.S. Army general blasts Trump in a devastating rant — and destroys every single one of his Republican enablers who are claiming that Trump “did nothing wrong” when he stole military intel.

First, the former general set his sights on Donald Trump, declaring that “those in the military” are “the most pissed off” about Trump stealing Intel secrets.”

Then, the decorated General Mark Hertling declared that the sheer amount of Intel stolen is “gobsmacking” — but that’s not the worst part. The general revealed that even though the media is describing some of the Intel as “war plans,” the reality is MUCH worse.

He continued, “The documents were likely extremely detailed intelligence assessments, with potential foe (and ally) capabilities and weaknesses — and American war capabilities that we would not want anyone — especially our foes, to know. I have seen intel agencies, military units, foreign service officers put sweat and blood into providing these documents, making sure they are accurate. All those individuals KNOW they must get it right, because their work, their assessments, are provided to key decision-makers.

He continued, “One phrase in the indictment struck me like a bullet. Trump saying: 'my boxes.' None of these are his 'personal papers.' These documents provide information and intelligence - gathered through the use of US capabilities, put together by really smart, dedicated, patriotic individuals — to be used by US officials to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Then, he set his sights on all of the Republican leaders, who are continuing to defend Trump, calling them “moronic” and declaring that, “Military and intel officials are pissed. All Americans should be equally pissed. But it seems that many are not — only because of how some in government are treating this case.”

BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is hit with more bad news as Hayley Williams, the lead singer of the rock band Paramore, stops her live set during a concert to respond to DeSantis supporters who are “uncomfortable” that she’s speaking out against them, telling them, “I’ll be happy to tell you — I’m very fucking comfortable talking politics. If you vote for Ron DeSantis, you’re fucking dead to me. So is that comfortable enough for anyone?”

The best part is that, even though she describes herself as “straight,” she is still using her platform to be an ally of the LGBTQ+ community that is under constant threat from fascist Ron DeSantis.

We need A LOT more of this from EVERY artist who stands against DeSantis’ fascist agenda.

Florida travel warnings intensify.
“A growing chorus of leading civil rights groups are issuing travel warnings about visiting FL amid DeSantis’ increasingly hostile laws toward women, minorities, immigrants, & LGBTQ community. On Tuesday, The Human Rights Campaign, the country’s largest LGBTQ organization, issued an updated travel advisory designed to highlight laws passed by the state’s Republican-led legislature in what they called the “most anti-LGBTQ legislative session in history.”

I miss McCain. He was 100 percent right

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Jesus preached love for neighbor, care for the poor, healing for the sick, welcome to the foreigner.

He advocated for sharing abundance with those who have less, he shunned violence and power and he warned against greed.

The GOP would call him "woke."

Ted Cruz says: Dr. Martin Luther King would be 'ashamed' of the NAACP’s travel advisory. He then claimed that King would think that the NAACP "lost their way".

Bernice King, MLK's daughter, replied: "What my father would be deeply concerned about is the harmful, discriminatory legislation in Florida."

Regardless what you think about the NAACP's advisory, can anyone here honestly say that a white Texas Republican knows more about what MLK Jr. would think than his own daughter would?

I'm fine with people claiming that the NAACP's advisory may be unwarranted for various reasons, but to pretend that Ted Cruz is a better judge of what MLK would think, than his own daughter, is simply perplexing.

Thoughts?

The 14th Amdt provides that the “validity of the public debt…shall not be questioned.” This is not an “option” but a mandate. We can’t allow the MAGA fringe to crash the economy if we don’t cave into their demands to destroy critical social programs for vets, nutrition & health.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

14th Am Sec 4 isn’t a weapon POTUS can opt to “use” or not — not a superpower but a RULE binding the whole govt: DEFAULTING ON U.S. PUBLIC DEBT ISN’T AN OPTION.

So the MAGAs are trying to make Biden OPT to violate dozens of OTHER laws by stifling citizens who depend on the govt
