Rep. Nehls: "Affordability? What are you talking about? I'm gonna go there tomorrow. I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails, some nice rib eyes... Maybe 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do."
Absolutely wild. They're just mocking their own voters at this point.
Ken Paxton was impeached for taking bribes from donors.
He became a multi-millionaire on a government salary.
He takes lavish vacations in Iceland while Texans can’t afford the basics.
Ken Paxton doesn’t serve us — he serves himself.
NEW: The Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, blocking Trump’s campaign to dismantle the 14th Amendment and its protections for the children of immigrants.
The Constitution is clear: If you were born here, you are an American citizen. No one can change this fact.
Congress passed a bipartisan bill to make it easier to own a home.
The President is refusing to sign it.
Donald Trump doesn’t care about lowering costs for you.
It is deeply frustrating how easily Americans moved past the reality that Donald Trump attempted an actual coup in 2021 and failed miserably.
He should have been disqualified from ever holding power again the moment he tried to overturn the election results. He is a traitor who belongs in jail, plain and simple.
Treating his actions as just another political scandal that can be brushed aside is completely unacceptable.
The Republicans who enabled this comeback are absolute traitors to the US. They had multiple opportunities to draw a line in the sand and reject him.
Instead, they acted in a pathetic manner by backing him as their candidate and enabling him to become president again
National Park Service employees and contractors to trying hard to clean the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. So far the algae seems to be winning. As for the American flag blue paint, it’s starting to peel from the bottom of the pool — a short-lived $14 million paint job.
The President of the United States is visibly struggling, and the signs of worsening cognitive decline are becoming harder and harder to ignore. He’s also falling asleep regularly in meetings.
Why is this not a national story every day?
Trump looked into the camera and said of the ballroom, “This is taxpayer-free. We have no taxpayer putting up 10 cents.”
Three weeks earlier, his own contractor had already put it in writing. The ballroom would cost $600 million, with half of it from you, the taxpayer.
Trump knew. He said it anyway.
This administration has no problem shortchanging Medicaid or food for kids.
But $300 million for a ballroom and a private bunker? Found that money instantly.
I am an appropriator. I see the budget. This was never about what we can afford. It is about who they choose to spend it on.
I will fight this in every hearing, every markup, every vote, until the last dime is accounted for.
Most of my Republican colleagues are silent while the public is robbed in broad daylight.
Where in the hell are they?

No money for health care.
No money for child care.
No money for education.
No money for nutrition.
But somehow there’s money for a $600 million ballroom.
