This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

He has withheld funding for the LA fires for almost a year now. When will John Roberts decide (act like a judge) to tell Trump, "it's not your money". All the federal tax money deducted from our paychecks that is required to send to the feds "every week" by employers, "IS NOT HIS MONEY".

That's exactly what he does. When Karlonine Lyin Leavitt calls a judge that doesn't rule in their favor, a judicial activist. I had to laugh. We can now refer to Roberts as a judicial activist. He's a judicial activist for corporate greed.

.... and SCOTUS will do absolutely NOTHING about it. The three stellar women Justices, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown-Jackson can dissent in the strongest language possible but the majority MAGA Justices will do it anyway. End lifetime appointments.

That IS how DICTATORS & BULLIES operate and Trump keeps DOING IT because it WORKS! The way to STOP IT, is to TELL HIM to go pound sand and SUE HIS A$$! Then they need to WORK on GETTING HIM OUT OF OUR GOVT because the DOJ is CORRUPT, USELESS & WON'T do a DAMN THING!

Once the Dems regain control of House and hopefully Senate🤞perhaps Republicans will find their spine and help vote to impeach and remove Trump and his crooked cabinet. The writing will be on the wall for them. Primary threat from Trump will be meaningless.

Reality shows that Trump isn't as "strong" or "powerful" as he pretends to be. His threats are empty. His endorsement of candidates is the kiss of death. His unilateral acts keep being judged illegal by the courts. He's a loser. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

FELON TRUMPS COMMITTED HUNDREDS OF CRIMES AGAINST OUR COUNTRY, OUR ALLIES, OUR PEOPLE AND OUR CONSTITUTION. HES COMMITTED TREASON AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY DOZENS OF TIMES. WHEN THE FUCK IS OUR CONGRESS GOING TO COME TOGETHER AND THROW HIS ASS IN PRISON???

Actually since well before that. Impeachment in Trump 1 was brought because Trump tried to extort Zelenskyy to “find” some evidence of Biden corruption to support Trump’s re-election in exchange for continuing support in defense against Russia. Not to mention his entire business history…

Another way to say it would be that the president of the United States has contempt for the people of the United States. Makes no difference if they’re supporters or not

trump's desire not to appear a loser was far more important than punishing a state that didn't cow tow to his demands.He walked away pretending,as always,that he wasn't involved.So for all those networks,law firms,universities...you threw away your reputations.Unless maybe you were actually onboard.

All in on it,just pretending on the sidelines uninvolved bcuz they do not have ‘immunity’ Trump has! But all in on it! They know exactly what’s going on and helping behind the scenes, just pretending not involved! Just look at smug smirk snarky proud-o’self look on Mike Johnson’s face! Says it all!

The reason it’s not the biggest story is because there are 8 other scandals equally corrupt going on consecutively. This, illegally bombing boats, Epstein, tariffs sinking the economy, having to take dementia tests regularly, rewriting national policy to side with Russia. Flooding the zone

SHOCK AND AWE!! That’s what it is!! Stun the people, stun the world, render them completely incapable of thinking, seeing and focussing on what’s really going on in front of their eyes!! Render the brain mush - that’s the plan, that’s what is going on, are doing - shock and awe, and succeeding!

Exactly. Democratic leadership should assign groups of lawmakers for each issue, SMEs that issue a script and then go out and spread it, social media, AM radio, Sunday morning news, one issue, explained with precision. That is how you react to a scatter bomb, laser focus, one target at a time

Federal tax money withheld from your pay goes from your employer (or you, if you’re an independent contractor) directly to the IRS — the taxing agency of the federal government. State governments (blue or red) aren’t involved at all.

I applaud you and your cronies. They can gerrymander all they want it will not make a difference. Trumps approval rate today is 31%. People are going to come out in droves to vote BLUE. People are protest voting now.

*IS extorting* There's nothing indicating he won't follow through on it – or at least try to. It's one of his main tactics. Just like missiles for Ukraine, or recent extortion attempts with TV networks (to pay/apologize to him) or colleges (to change their curriculum). This is his Art of the Deal.

She is the stupidest thing (I don’t know what it is looking at her/it). As corrupt too just not so bold bcuz effing ugly stupid! Or bought by Israel!

I am constantly seeing a lot of hand waving and doom and gloom, and awareness pleas, but what I’m not seeing is what we can DO about it. I’m so tired of being aware of the next “should be a big story” what ACTIONS can I take

Not disagreeing, necessarily, but Trump commits *SO MANY* impeachable offenses on a daily basis, it's really difficult to determine which deserves to be the biggest story.

Corruption out in the open because the two previous impeachments left us all wanting and SCOTUS said he could without impunity. Maybe the third one in 2026 will be the charm? One can only dream a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual predator demented pedophile buffoon grifter finally gets his due!

It's not even on the radar because Trump breaking the law is old news, it's been normalised, plus the majority of Americans either like having a criminal pro Russian mobster as President or are too apathetic to even complain never mind actually do something about it. From Europe & Canada: 🖕🇺🇸 btw.

You know, Indiana Republicans have an opportunity here to help begin to restore the idea of traditional conservatism in this country by standing up against Trump‘s tyrannical mobster threats, and breaking even further from his regime & narratives. Courage can be contagious. Do something brave!

Republican party are straight up thugs!!! Thier isn't a Christian in the Republican party, thats for sure, and they want the ten commandment in all schools 🤔 🙄 if asked, they couldn't even tell you what they are alone the most important thing what each one means!!

My God. If going to prison motivated him to this in 24 imagine his motivation to avoid it in 26. He is committing every violation of our Constitution as well as homicide, war crimes, kidnapping, … wow talk about a RICO case: it’s his entire federal government. They will do ANYTHING now.

No, he won’t go to prison in this country, at any rate. He may find international travel to be prohibitive, from not being generally welcome by the populace of the country being visited (looking at you, Scotland), to the possibility of being arrested on war crimes charges (Putin syndrome).

No dam President has the right to lock up immigrants because he doesn't like the way they look. Should ask yourselfers who's next. No President has the right to harm Americans citizens no President should have the right to judge anyone he doesn't like. No Presidents office to hide he's sex scandal

No sitting President should never have this kind of political power over our lives. No sitting President should be able to pardon to make money. No President should be able to kill people no sitting President should be able to RIP Down our democracy no President should be able to destroy our country

No sitting President should be to RIP down part of our WhiteHouse no President so be able to redecorate golden crap all over our beloved WhiteHouse no President should have the right to speak to media like shit no President should have the right to take down 100 year old beautiful trees like this 🌲🌲

I hope media pundits save these receipts because in the future if we ever have a Democrat POTUS and some minor scandal comes out please point to the countless shit this administration has done and will do as fomenting faux outrage.

He doesn’t care! He is holding dirt over their heads 6 and blackmailing them, extorting dictating to them whatever decisions he wants! He calls the shots when it comes to those 6 thugs!

He’d have to change his Party affiliation to Dem. That’s the only way the GOP will do anything about this. They spent four years trying to impeach Biden and claiming he was corrupt. They have plenty to prove Trump is corrupt but he’s one of theirs so they sit idly by and do nothing.

Too late, his corrupt minions will have rigged all elections. The corrupt Republicans know there will never be a fair election again, they don’t have to stick their neck out, just do what he says & they can stay in Congress, collect pay, not work, profit off insider trading, kick backs & contracts

What law makers? They are powerless! They’ve been castrated by the corrupt Supreme Court! All the courts and judges below have been castrated! Waste of money time resources even going to any court below and the gangsters in govt know it! They know they have the country by the balls and squeezing it!

The 21 Republicans who joined 10 Democrats see the writing on the wall.The Blue Tusnami is unmistakenly a sign of what is to come in the midterm elections,the next presidential election,with hopefully all citizens voting in Gubnatorial,State legislatures,State Secretary,and all local elections.

🤥Felon47 is a Despicable Conman & should be in prison! He bullies everyone into submission! WTF! 🤬 This MF POS needs to experience some of his own medicine IMPEACH! CONVICT! REMOVE! Enough is enough, DAMNIT!!!

Be a partner? Be a partner in what? A criminal enterprise, blatant extortion, absolute illegality. What just happened by itself is an impeachable offense. About the 300 impeachable offense on the part of first felon so far. Extortion is certainly a felony and more than a high crime or misdemeanor.

It’s honestly hard to wrap my head around how normalized this kind of behavior has become. If any president is using public funds as leverage to pressure officials into manipulating district maps, that’s not just “politics as usual, that’s an abuse of power. People should be paying attention

‘Get me 11800 votes’ remember that?! Well that’s what is again and knows he is ‘immune’ from prosecution; so why not go full out and don’t even bother hide it! That’s becuz of corrupt Supreme Court! 6 rogues, aiders abetters enablers traitors, MUST b removed first biz of day new Dem gov takes over!

It’s almost like letting a president get away with election fraud and coercion of a public official in GA emboldened him to commit election fraud and coercion of public officials elsewhere!!

The sad thing is: we have three more years of this. And, if he were impeached and removed from office, he would pardon himself and his minions. They are operating as if Trump were king. This is on SCOTUS — and the people who boycotted 2024 over Gaza, etc ..

It was NOT trivial. But Kamala's team probably would have been tougher on Israel than Trump, who literally wants to send the Gazans anywhere but Palestine and does EVERYTHING Bibi wants. It sucks, but the boycott gave Trump license to rollback 75 years of civil rights... And more

I don't disagree, but Kamala's moral allegiances appeared to be misguided to enough of the Democratic electorate to not want to vote for her. She herself, in hindsight, to the effect that she should have distinguished herself better from Biden's political goals better.

This isn't new. Trump already extorted/blackmailed several US Colleges into giving him money in exchange for federal funding that was frozen by that greasy rat bastard. He also extorted/blackmailed several media outlets such as CBS. All in plain sight, in the mainstream news. Wake up and fight!
