๐จBREAKING: RM @RepRaskin just filed his discharge petition to force a full House vote on legislation to shut down Trumpโs $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund and โSuper Pardonโ scheme.
Congress can, and must, defend the taxpayers and put an end to Todd Blanche's schemes to turn J6 cop-beaters into MAGA millionaires while giving the Trump family and all of their businesses lifetime immunity for any violation of federal law. We need 218 MembersโDemocrats and Republicansโto stand up and shut down these corrupt dealings.
I just asked President Trump if he'll endorse Netanyahu in the upcoming Israeli elections. "I'll have to look at who's running, but I like Bibi very much. I would be most likely to endorse him." More on Bibi: "He's doing a very good job, he's got to be a little bit more rationalโ
During our brief phone conversation, President Trump said that Israel "lucky that Iโm president, because you wouldnโt exist if it wasnโt for me," and then added that "they wouldnโt have Israel if it wasnโt for me and Bibi - in that order."
Trump also pushed once again for a pardon to Netanyahu. โTell your president to pardon Bibi. Heโs a wartime prime minister. They wouldnโt have Israel if it wasnโt for me and Bibi in that order. You want to have a PM that can focus on the war not focus on nonsense.โ
President Trump tells me in a brief phone conversation:
The new Iranian proposal is not acceptable. โItโs not acceptable to me. Iโve studied it, Iโve studied everything โ itโs not acceptable.โ
House Republicans are abdicating the constitutional powers of Congress for the greater glory of Donald Trump.
But only Congress can declare war, appropriate spending and create tariffs, not the president. To restore the rule of law and end MAGA chaos, we must reclaim these powers for the people.
My colleague & friend Jared Moskowitz was the target of an assassination plot by an armed & dangerous fanatical antisemite who was just sentenced to 25 years in prison. The convergence of antisemitic & racist hate with gun violence is a continuing threat to American democracy. https://t.co/DfpzJ2gf98
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) pressed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over her statements linking Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two Americans who were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in January, to "domestic terrorism" soon after their deaths.
"You told a lie about them. You said that they were domestic terrorists. Do you regret that?" Raskin, the House Judiciary Committeeโs ranking member, asked during a hearing on Wednesday.
"I offer my condolences to those families," Noem said.
Armed, masked Israeli settlers violently attacked three Israeli activists from Looking the Occupation in the Eye in the Palestinian village of Qusra, near Nablus.
According to the group, the activists were beaten in the head and sustained varying injuries before being evacuated.

In an official Knesset salute to bereaved families, only those aligned with Netanyahu were invited.
Families of hostages who backed a deal, and families of fallen soldiers calling for inquiry,were excluded.
In @netanyahu Israel, even grief is political. https://t.co/0kn5EI2Rk2
