The job of Congress is to make sure that the President follows the Constitution and to impeach them if they don't.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…

Trump is telling the poor people that he is better than them and he doesn't care that they're poor. And people still support him.

Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

The guy who was on Epstein's files almost a million times and who was credibly accused of raping a children wants to talk to us about pedophiles. .

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump lies about Talarico being a pedo: "He said that recently. I saw a thing where he said, 'What do you like the best?' He said, essentially, 'Transgender children!' That was a strange."

The sad part is some of Trump's base really do believe him.

a heavily slurring Trump lies his ass off: "Not only did Talafreako state that God is transgender, he actually said that if Jesus Christ himself came and visited the Texas legislature, Jesus would be promoting sex changes for little children."

It's interesting that people are surprised that Vivek Ramaswamy would do something like this. He has always been a terrible person.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

This lawsuit should be laughed out of court. This is tampering with the elections. The same exact thing the Republicans are lying about the Democrats doing.

Eric Columbus@ericcolumbus.bsky.social

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There is no process where the feds get to decide on an election. The state gets to decide. Period. The feds cannot change that. Trump can be mad about Alaska all he wants.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

BASH: What's the crime? AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused. BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter
