These people literally do not believe in America. "Reining in the president" is literally the fucking job of Congress. The people who founded America were extremely clear about that!

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

IT'S YOUR JOB AS A COEQUAL BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT YOU ABSOLUTE BUFFOON Nothing screams capitualation more than giving up the authority and powers granted to Congress while a demented egomaniacal narcissist tears the nation apart aiding our enemies and saying "oh well" while doing it.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

Banks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS

President Trump and Republicans are only making it harder for kids, families, and seniors to get the food they need, including a new rule that will put local grocers out of business. It’s simple: Stop messing with hungry Wisconsinites.  Read ⬇️

DHS Secretary Kirsten "Johnson told reporters that the agency’s goal is to build a process that eases the paperwork burden on both Medicaid recipients and DHS staff." Adding even more paperwork without clear guidance is another feature, not a bug, by the regime. Purposely making it harder.

President Trump and Republicans are making it harder and more expensive for folks to get the healthcare they need, and by failing to provide needed guidance to states, they're putting 63,000 Wisconsinites' healthcare coverage at risk in the process. www.wpr.org/news/63k-med...
