Nothing can constrain Trump? Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs. PabloReports

Tuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."

The irony is that some of the loudest voices warning about “communism” are supporting an unprecedented concentration of executive power. Attacks on independent institutions, pressure on the media, demands for personal loyalty, and weakening checks and balances are not signs of a healthy democracy.

“Did Mitch win his primary?” “No, sir. He’s still dead.” “How about Lindsey?” “He’s still dead too, sir.” “At least Amir Hassan won, right?” “No, sir. He lost to the guy who dropped out last month.” “The Mexicans only gave us one good word, and that’s siesta. Very few people know that.”

BLITZER: If a Democratic Senate primary were held in Pennsylvania today, do you believe you would win? FETTERMAN: ... Like, today? BLITZER: Yeah FETTERMAN: Uh. Yeah.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."

CNN’s Harry Enten: “In a word, ‘yikes’: Trump's moderate GOP support is collapsing. He led them by 69 points vs Harris in 2024. His net approval now is +10 pt. A 59 pt shift. He was more trusted vs Harris on the economy by 80 pt. Net approval now? +3 pt. A 77 pt shift! On inflation, he's at -17 pt!”

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"

This past weekend, Truth Social’s $100,000 subscription service for early access to Trump’s posts went live. Last night, I introduced a bill to crack down on this corruption and ensure all Americans have free and equal access to public announcements from government officials.

Bessent blames Dear Leader for lower than expected GDP growth: "I think we were growing at probably 4% before the president made the decision to go into Iran, and I think we can easily get back to 3% for the year"

Mike Johnson is terrified Democrats will win back the House because he knows exactly what comes next: Real investigations, real oversight, real accountability for Donald Trump, his family, his Cabinet, his donors, and everyone else who has abused government power for personal gain.
