This government shutdown is going to harm 40 million Americans because Donald Trump and Republicans refuse to protect the most vulnerable in society. Shameful. thehill.com/homenews/hou...
This isn’t surprising, but exemplifies the horrific statements made regularly behind the scenes. Every Republican leader should condemn it.
EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat. Inside rising GOP leaders’ racist chats — obtained by POLITICO and spanning more than 7 months👇
Republicans are turning on their own party and for good reason. The GOP agenda is completely unpopular.
Republican C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party,and I'm very disappointed in you, because you have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show."
Pam Bondi was a foreign agent for Qatar. Donald Trump accepted a massive jet from the Qatari royal family. She doesn’t think that jet is illegal. 🤔
Durbin to Bondi: "Although you've been a registered foreign agent for Qatar, you didn't recuse yourself from signing off on Trump's solicitation of a free jet from the royal family, even though this gift was clearly illegal. Connections to Bondi seem to yield more favorable outcomes for defendants."
This should scare everyone. Right now, Donald Trump is openly declaring war on America.
Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."
Next November, we’re going to make sure Mike Johnson loses the Speaker’s gavel.
MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6? JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation
This statement alone is disqualifying. Melissa Hortman was murdered in a horrific political assassination. This President is playing dumb or is ignorant. Not sure what’s worse.
Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?
This rhetoric is extremely dangerous and is pitting the right against the left once again. Instead of toning it down, Trump is ramping it up.
EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country? TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.
This is scary. Florida’s Surgeon General does not care that his decision could lead to a rise in dangerous illnesses that have been prevented by vaccines.
TAPPER: Hepatitis A, whooping cough, & chickenpox cases are rising in Florida. Before you made this decision to lift vaccine mandates, did your dept do any analysis of how many new cases there will be? LADAPO: Absolutely not T: You didn't even do a projection? L: It's an issue of right & wrong
When you do unconstitutional things, you lose in court. It’s that simple. The National Guard should’ve never been deployed in the first place.
BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief." Injunction granted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
