NEWS: WV GOP Assistant Majority Leader Elliott Pritt has been arrested and charged with enticing a minor after allegedly grooming a 15-year-old through Roblox and Snapchat, then having her meet him in his classroom.
GOP leadership won't call for his resignation.
@SenatorCollins You’re all blustery talk cuz it doesn’t cost you anything. The moment there’s a vote on record you support the Orange Man and all the fake news personalities he surrounds himself with.
NEW: A fuming Dem Senator Gary Peters starts shouting after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fired back at him over the war in Iran.
Peters: "When will you show leadership?"
Hegseth: "Why don't you show some leadership and stand up to your fellow Democrats who won't fund the troops, who stand and play partisan politics while you don't give us the money?"
Grifting never stops. Send money. We’re under attack. Cats and Dog Commie America haters want to take what you have. Just love to make up anything to point you to hate people who are American patriots like you who probably actually served and didn’t medical their way out.
NEW: A new Trump email to supporters warns them their application “failed because of technical difficulties.” The link doesn���t fix an application. The application never existed. It does, however, take them to a page to send money to fix the “problem.” https://t.co/tJfgmBL3J7
The Treasury Department's top tax official just got fired for one reason: he warned the White House they were about to break the law.
Section 7217 of the IRS Code says the president can’t request that the IRS audit or investigate anyone. It’s been law since Watergate.
Kenneth Kies, the Treasury’s assistant secretary and acting IRS chief counsel, told White House officials a proposed request would violate it.
And what did they do? They forced him out.
You don't fire the lawyer enforcing the law unless you plan to break it.

Republican Steve Scalise:
“If you want to go to Olive Garden and get unlimited pasta, you gotta show a picture ID.”
Who here has ever had to show their ID to eat pasta at Olive Garden? I’m pretty sure Republicans have lost the narrative.
@RonFilipkowski Impossible for him to tell the truth.
“Trust Me”. “I know more than anybody else”. “I’m an expert”.
The man who bankrupted every business he’s started except for Trump Org which produces nothing.
Last week, Trump claimed foreign interference was threatening our elections.
So why did he dismantle the FBI task force created to investigate and stop it? https://t.co/JzB61Fm2w0
@bennyjohnson Benny. If ICE was going after wealthy immigrants that have committed white collar crime you can bet your sweet Russian ass that they’d be on the phone with the Trump Admin to get it to stop or pay up for pardon like they’ve all done. Rules for thee but not for me administration.
