A lawsuit needs to be filed to block this. It is an unethical conflict of interest.

Trump is pushing to test the limits of what he can get away with and the Republicans in Congress are entirely failing to push back and establish limits. Checks and balances are what have always protected our democracy. Congress isn't doing a damn thing to protect us.

To accomplish this, these states are having to weaken some of their Republican districts to a point where a strong Democrat might be able win. The Ds need to focus energy and money on taking those seats away from the Republicans.

Republicans in Congress are letting him get away with anything he wants to do. They are complicit

He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would’ve refused & he would’ve been tried for treason. That’s why he left.

And he is working to make sure that the conditions are different this time around so that he can get away with it

Trump is the product of his upbringing and a lifetime of entitlement. He's always gotten what he wanted, rarely if ever been held accountable, and has always been surrounded by yes men telling him he's a genius and everything he does is great. Learn a lesson from this and raise your kids better

Trump's insane actions and unpredictability have alienated all of our traditional allies. People he seems to like are all dictators that can't be trusted. We are going to end up stranded on an island alone with a madman in charge

Hegseth is changing the rules for how information comes out of the Pentagon because he is planning something he knows Congress and the American people won't tolerate. Suppression of information is never good.

I live in a Southern state and when I see the racist rednecks that live around here, the exact type of people that probably want to go work for ICE, I'm fairly certain I could outrun all of them.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Much like Trump and Leavitt, the ease with which they lie is a sign of a mental defect or disease. They are all sociopaths

And for good measure, boycott every business owned by any of the oligarchs that are working with Trump

Use the power of economics. Boycott every business that advertises on Fox News and any other right-wing media outlet to hit those propaganda machines in the pocketbook.
