Raskin: This is not an administration that has a plan to lower gas prices. On the contrary, their illegal, unconstitutional war with Iran is driving them up.
It’s not an administration that has a plan to get health care to everybody in the richest country on Earth.
No, it’s a government that operates like The Sopranos. Like, what grift are they going to be able to get away with today against the American people?
Is it going to be a crypto grift? Is it going to be foreign-government emoluments? Is it going to be a $400 million jet that we take from Qatar?
I mean, it is a gangster state.
The DOJ wants more time to implement Trump’s executive order attacking mail-in voting, imposing a legal strategy that appears to be aimed at bypassing legal challenges to the order.
However, a federal judge seemed inclined to block the potentially unconstitutional order in a hearing last week. https://t.co/bhA0vsQVA0

Trump’s case for Medicaid cuts rests on a claim so flimsy that economists were left flabbergasted.
@CitizenCohn explains how HHS ignored the evidence, inflated the upside, and produced a report that looks a lot more like propaganda than analysis.
Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA) faked a phone call for roughly 90 seconds after being asked about Speaker Mike Johnson’s comments regarding potential Social Security cuts.
The phone's screen remained visible, with his cheek inadvertently tapping different parts of the display.
Todd Blanche's name appears 96 times in Pam Bondi's House interview about the Epstein files. Variations of telling the committee that he was in charge of the entire effort. https://t.co/8JORBrxG8h
Rep. Angie Craig: "Do you know how much money farmers lost last year?"
Brooke Rollins: *doesn't answer*
Craig: "It was $28 billion. You're the Secretary of Agriculture."
ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program
BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that
CRAIG: Your own data says that
We're seeing a revolving door between ICE and the private prison industry. The new head of ICE is a former VP at GeoGroup, the company that runs over a dozen detention centers, including Delaney Hall. This is corruption using taxpayer dollars, and we need to stop it.
President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."
Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.
🚨Oh my God. Is the media PAYING ATTENTION??
Trump just showed reporters the exact same poster he presented yesterday and gave almost the exact same explanation.
Did he FORGET he already did this?
A little-noticed nonprofit founded by Trump donors has been raising millions of dollars to provide legal assistance to the president’s allies — including those who may want to sue the government over claims of unjust prosecution.
The pot of money, called the Lawfare Defense Fund, has raised at least $36 million. https://t.co/zKJEEU8Rx4
Reporter: I wanted to ask you about this report that you would only restart the conflict with Iran if they killed US troops. Is that your red line for ending the ceasefire?
Trump: If they killed?
Reporter: US Troops
Trump: What does that mean?
This week in committee I argued the reasons why Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached after additional evidence came forward with the Alabama case. I filed six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice Roberts on May 21st.
BREAKING: Blanche testifies that the Trump tax blanket immunity order portion of the slush fund “settlement” is NOT rescinded. Judge Williams, who has reopened the case, has said there IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. I imagine her probe into whether there was a fraud on the court will continue.
