"If [Trump] can't be impeached and removed—I mean he is literally the nightmare that the framers of the Constitution had in mind—If members of Congress can't carry out that obligation, then what's the point to Article I? What's the point to the whole Constitution? We might as well just give up."
The whole family - grifters.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Keep Walking The Walk,Mayor Mamdani.......
A lesson from Hungary? Election winner Peter Magyar hardly ever spoke about democracy and dictatorship. He focused instead on corruption and rising costs, tying people’s struggles to the decisions and actions of those in power. That’s what resonated with voters.
Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.
Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:
“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”
We are not being asked to sit in a trench. We are not being asked to sign a document that will get us hanged. We are being asked to stay engaged. That's it. After 250 years of Americans dying for this idea, that's all we owe. I wrote about it here.

I believe it would be beneficial to American if we were to take away the lifetime healthcare and pensions for elected representatives and made them find healthcare and benefits just like their constituents
We have created lifetime of benefits for a job that was not meant to be a career
Term limits!
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
I haven't been to a WHCA dinner in years, but I don't criticize others for attending if they choose--it's a free country. But if you go, you don't need to sit there and listen respectfully to Trump, who deserves no such respect. Just walk out quietly and politely before he speaks, and return after.
If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.
My response at a candidates' forum last week to an opponent's suggestion that we can't impeach and remove Donald Trump but somehow instead can and should pass wonderful legislation (which I support!) that will keep him from abusing his power and wrecking our democracy ….
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
Corrupt coalitions are crumbling - there's hope.
This is how Dems need to talk and campaign with through this election and after until Trump and MAGA are sent packing.
I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.
We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
That is past. We must commit to a just future - united, not divided by bickering that weakens the strength of our vote. Been there, done that far too many times.
Exactly! Not once, but twice queasy Dems and Independents let Trump get into office. And hear we are, now, in a monumental mess that the republic may not survive. Unity is what voted Orban out.
While your gas prices are skyrocketing, Big Oil executives have cashed out $1.4 BILLION in stock in a single quarter, a 15-year peak in insider selling.
In one quarter, Chevron’s CEO sold $104M, ConocoPhillips’ Chairman & CEO sold $54.3M, and Baker Hughes’ CEO sold $33M.
ADAM KINZINGER has a plan for restoration, post-Trump. Important read!

Sounds like a plan. I'd certainly vote for that in 2028! Would you? Wonder where we'd find a candidate who would embody that restoration of our democracy?

The CEO of United Airlines reportedly wants Trump to let his company merge with American Airlines.
That's a terrible idea.
Anti-competitive mega-mergers that stick consumers with higher fares are one of the main reasons flying sucks so much today.
Please share
The most accurate portrayal yet of Trump as a doctor — and Eric Trump's personal favorite. 😂🤣👇
A tax season reminder that Intuit TurboTax lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.
Trump then terminated the free IRS Direct File program established under Biden, just a year after the tax prep giant gave his inauguration fund $1M.
Do you see how this works?
Me: "I never ever wanted to run for Congress or anything .... And I can't be a 30-year congressman. I'm not a career guy; it's not what I'm about.
"I want to get in and get out after a couple terms: one to get rid of the moth— ... guy, and the next term to … help with the legal reconstruction"
This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.
The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.
