Honestly, I have NOTHING but contempt for this Congress. The Republican Party has made a mockery of the concept of "the rule of law". I'm not sure I would be able to maintain my composure before these buffoons the way Fauci has. He has my undying respect and thanks for his work.
Bessent is fine with deficits to fight needless wars, it’s only deficits to pay for healthcare or education that bother him
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 24h agoBREAKING: Republicans are no longer worried about deficits and debt Bessent: "I'm not as bothered by it ... if '26 is flat to slightly up, this isn't wasteful social spending "
Oh wow, it's almost like the GOP sees our servicemembers as props and not people

After 9 months at sea & 5 consecutive months in combat operations, conditions are deteriorating incl moldy showers, food shortages & severe lack of basic supplies. All for Trump's war. www.rawstory.com/uss-abraham-...
Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
Veterans waited in line for the VA while the promises piled up. Backlogs, delayed claims, and “we’ve got your back” speeches that never quite paid the bills. 90 days until the people who served get to return the favor. #BlueWaveIn90Days
That was quick. Speak up, people! Bullies are cowards; the would-be vote suppressors backed down. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump never served in uniform, earned a rank, led troops into battle, or received a military decoration. Yet here he is dressing himself as a general beside Patton and MacArthur. The presidency is a civilian office. Borrowing the honor of those who served to glorify yourself is stolen valor cosplay

This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.
CNN: Measles in the US is at 35-year high, the 2nd record-breaking year in a row. 93% of these cases are among unvaccinated. This is happening on your watch. For years, you denied the efficacy of vaccines. Do you accept some responsibility for this outbreak? RFK: Absolutely not.
So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
Every court victory matters, but some are sweeter than others. Congrats to the Elias Law Group team and our client Senate Majority PAC for this well earned victory for free speech and the 1st Amendment.
Are you fuckin kidding me? As a Californian who paid 5 figure taxes to the federal government in 25... we don't get any grant or disaster relief money??? All because we are smart enough to know he's a lying conman? CA pays more fed taxes than the bottom 25 combined! #stoppayingfederaltaxes
Trump administration concedes it canceled research grants in blue states
The administration said 284 research grants were canceled because they were in states that voted against Donald Trump in 2024.

"Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them." ― Margaret Atwood
James Talarico tells Rachel Maddow that if Democrats win the Senate seat he is running for, "I think we can build the political will to restore the Voting Rights Act." Watch:
Tillis wants to maintain a cushy and lucrative life after he leaves the Senate. Hanging at the country club? Make some big money as a lobbyist? Who knows? What he doesn't want is to be snubbed by the orange overlord and his minions. That might be uncomfortable for him.
Tillis is one of my senators, and he has the integrity of a rotten outhouse. He talks it up, but when it comes to a vote, he's on his knees for Trump. We deserve better in NC.
Embarrassing here in NC 😞Thousands of calls and Thom responds to the dog whistle. Not surprised sadly.
All these rules for what Blanche can and cannot do is ridiculous. Look at what hes done and see hes disqualified. Met with convicted sex crime criminal and had her moved to better facility. Covering for sex offender and pediphile protecter. #Epstein

Deputy US attorney general says victims ‘want to be made whole’ but that doesn’t mean ‘we can just create evidence’
theguardian.com
Tillis said Blanche had to meet with Epstein survivors. The survivors said he was condescending, rude & constantly interrupted them. They said he was just checking a box. Tillis wants slush fund order modified & IRS settlement gone. Blanche creates a sham order. Tillis wants performative nonsense.
THIS IS SO ON BRAND… Three polls. Same verdict: Trump’s approval has completely collapsed. A normal president would take the hint and try to pivot. Trump doubles down.
Legal scholar/former US Atty Barbara McQuade: Todd Blanche’s recent assurances to the Senate regarding an “Anti-Weaponization Fund” & Trump’s IRS immunity are merely "hollow gestures" that fail to meaningfully check executive power. See CALL-TO-ACTION 👇🏼 1/5 www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Trump Still Has That IRS Immunity. Don’t Be Fooled
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s assurance to senators about the $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” and President Trump’s immunity with the Internal Revenue Service is nothing more than a ho...
