With the Democratic majority in Congress, we can pass legislation to reverse the health care cuts the Republicans put in place, expand coverage, and fund universal childcare.
And, to pay for it, we can start by reversing the tax breaks Trump and the Republicans handed out to millionaires and billionaires.
Tim O’Hare, the Texas judge that closed 92 polling stations in Tarrant County, Texas to help give republicans an advantage is out. Voters gave him the boot and replaced him with a black woman. Gotta love that sweet justice.
Okay, let’s reason this out. Thinking caps 𝗢𝗡.
If Hegseth committed high crimes or misdemeanors, and if he did them at the behest of, or on behalf of, or in cahoots with, someone else, say, I don’t know … uh … let’s assume the president of the United States … that would mean .…
Gosh, I’m stumped. I know there’s a logical conclusion here that should be obvious, but it’s just escaping me.
Could it mean that someone else has committed impeachable, removable acts too??
If so, who would that be?? Just completely stumped. But I feel strongly there must be a clear answer.
Damn, this is almost as hard as the president’s cognitive tests.
Can anyone out there help? @Grok, do you know?
MTG: "I would vote to impeach. Congress needs to reclaim its authority over war .. I also agree with the articles about the deaths at the children's school. That's something that Hegseth and the the entire department of war has not been transparent on ... this is war crimes"
BREAKING: We just filed a complaint urging the OSC to recommend that President Trump fire White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
There is no excuse whatsoever for his repeated and egregious Hatch Act violations. https://t.co/YH7g9UFsz9
Massie: "I do have a message to the troops. This secretary has used our troops to go seize oil for large corporations in America. You shouldn't be used like that. You signed up to pledge your life for this country if need be, and that obligation shouldn't be diminished to stealing oil for big corporations."
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: "I think there's two categories of Republicans after Nov. 3rd who are more likely to vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. One, I call it the retirement caucus. These aren't people who joined voluntarily. And the ranks of this caucus swelled for Republicans on November 3rd. What do they have to lose? But more importantly, you have a caucus of people who just barely won their election. They thought they had a political annuity, that they'd go to fancy dinners for the rest of their lives, and they barely won by 500 votes. They're used to winning by 10,000, 15,000 votes. And those folks need to put some daylight between themselves and this administration, between themselves and this war."
According to Heather Cox Richardson, Democrats are hiring the attorneys purged from the DOJ. You can shred the files, but not institutional memory. They know where all the bodies are buried.
You know the interesting thing about Russell Brand getting over a decade in prison is that Donald Trump has raped or sexually assaulted dozens of women and has easily earned more than 100 years in prison from those crimes alone
Massie: The irony of it is he was attacking Senator Mark Kelly for saying you don't have to carry out illegal orders. Well, that's the consequence of this—Hegseth ignoring Senator Kelly's advice—six of these articles of impeachment are for him carrying out illegal orders
Massie: "There's no fog of war on the first day! You've had months to identify these targets, yet they picked a school building on a school day with kids in it"
🚨HOLY SHIT: Donald Trump completely fucked Pete Hegseth.
As Attorney Joe Gallina explains, Trump accidentally triggered the Uniform Code of Military Justice by calling the bombing of Caribbean fishing boats a “legal war” - exposing Hegseth and Admiral Bradley to:
• Art. 118 – Murder (killing defenseless survivors) • Art. 119 – Manslaughter • Art. 92 – Unlawful orders / dereliction of duty • Art. 128 – Assault with a deadly weapon • Art. 133 – Conduct unbecoming an officer • Art. 134 – War crimes under LOAC
One thing is certain.
Now that Democrats will be taking over Congress, Pete Hegseth is screwed.
Massie: A lot of people are saying Hegseth is effective and good at his job and so they don't want to vote for these articles of impeachment. Well, the reality is we're not indicting him for being bad at his job. In fact, he was very effective at killing schoolchildren in Iran. He was very effective at extrajudicial killings. The argument here is that he's broken laws and he's violated the Constitution.
BREAKING: JACK SMITH UNDER OATH: “Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation.”
Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined.
“It’s bigger than Watergate.”
“It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.”
“It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.”
“There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ”
“Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.”
“At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.”
“And some of them took that deal.”
“It’s one thing to be evil to a child.”
“It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.”
“The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?”
Your health insurer shouldn’t own your doctor’s office, pharmacy, and the middleman who decides which prescriptions are covered and how much they cost.
That gives one corporation at least 4 ways to squeeze every penny out of you when you get sick.
