House GOP leaders cancel votes on Thursday - sending lawmakers home later today until after the elections. That means the House can avoid a vote on the Hegseth impeachment plan from Rep. Thomas Massie R-KY.

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

Last September, Israel's Ambassador Yechiel Leiter met with Fetterman in his office and suggested he write an op-ed explaining why he continued to support Israel.

When is this offensive, criminal patriarchy thinking going to end! Enough of this shit! What an embarrassment, Paris! Now the Hindu delegation says, it was not meant that way. Then why only limit the presence of 'women'? Totally unacceptable!

The Eiffel Tower reopened Tuesday, a day after one of the world’s most-visited landmarks was closed by a strike to protest what a union official called “unacceptable” management instructions limiting the presence of women during a visit by a Hindu delegation on Saturday.

Trump actually spent 9/11 calling in to local TV news to falsely brag that he now had the largest building in the city.

Trump on 9/11: "I just thank my people. I was building a big building in New York & I took the whole crew down there right after this happened & they had no hesitation. Everybody went down with me... we thought it was coming down on top of us... two fireman lifted me up and started running with me"

This is an absolutely insane lie. His whole story about this today is a lie. I know he's lied about his non-role in 9/11 rescue/recovery before, but never this level of detail. Just total fantasy. Utterly disgraceful. Next he will claim he won the Medal of Honor. www.threads.com/share/_1TKI7...

Bullying much? Huckabee called settlers in the West Bank "terrorists", but he does not accept that they are sanctioned. Just the usual USA Trump hypocrisy. Nothing to see here.

Today the UK govt stated Israel's occupation of Palestine is illegal and that there is ethnic cleansing taking of Palestinians taking place. I strongly welcomed the statement and pressed the Foreign Secretary on the implementation of new sanctions.

Corruption is up. Costs are up. Chaos is up. Instead of creating policies that actually help people, the White House just rolled out arcade games. They need to spend less time playing and more time governing. Folks need affordable groceries, not games.
