THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him.
That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
WATCH — @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social on Spineless Speaker Johnson: “He just lied. The war is inflationary, so he’s lying and saying we don’t have anything to do with this… Americans just aren’t that dumb.”
Lets be honest anyone who calls themselves a Christian nationalist should be ineligible for federal office because their beliefs make it impossible to hold an oath to the Constitution which not only calls for freedom of religion but keeping religion & government separate
Joyce Vance has it right: “This is not a president who is committed to governing, to public service. This is a smash and grab, and we are the victims.”
Jack Smith defends his team of prosecutors: "I'm extremely proud to have worked with them, and the fact that they have been targeted illegally, lost their jobs illegally, and had their lives turned upside down by this Department of Justice is an outrage."
This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
Ever notice how everyone screaming about cutting social security as an 'entitlement' are the politicians who will retire with a comfy pension or the obscenely wealthy who have enough money for a thousand lifetimes? Raise the damn cap!!!

Ossoff: "What did they spend the most political capital trying to do over the last 18 months? Cover up the Epstein files. They worked harder to cover up the Epstein files than they ever did to lower grocery prices."
Your reminder that there is a madman in the White House identified in the Epstein files as a rapist, there has been no investigation, and the files are still being hidden in violation of federal law.
Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."
Shut up, Jeff Bezos, and your propaganda rag, the current Washington Post.
The Kennedy Center is only in trouble because the lowbrow idiot Donald Trump and his stupid, uncultured minions interfered with it, driving away audiences.
Adding his vulgar name will *guarantee* bankruptcy, not avoid it.
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
Somebody in the room needs the institutional authority to say:
“Mr. President… what the fuck is wrong with you?”
Apparently that position wasn’t included in the staffing plan.
Trump runs America as he has run his entire life.
All threats, lies, cheating, cruelty, extortion, greed, dishonesty, stealing, abusing, bullying, and getting others to do his cowardly fighting.
He's not a leader.
He's the worst human being on the planet.
The ONLY reason why he did it is because someone told him he would lose the support of Tennessee and other red states if he didn’t lower the flags. He did it out of self preservation.
He didn’t do it after Rep. Melissa Hortman was murdered, he wanted to piss off Minnesota.
Letter from 130 bioethicists condemns the “unwarranted, ill-advised, & frankly bizarre vendetta against a scientist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, rather than making a sincere effort to learn from the painful experiences of the pandemic to improve national preparedness”
