If a democratic Speaker had refused to call the House into session for OVER A MONTH there would be wall to wall coverage on all networks.

What the fuck is wrong with our media

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power.

It will be the economic pain.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

The federal government spent $7.010 trillion in fiscal year 2025.

That’s a 3.9% increase from $6.746 trillion spent in FY2024.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

NEVER FORGET: In July 2025, the GOP passed the BBB with $75B in additional, multi-year funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

BUT the GOP Congress will NOT negotiate to EXTEND ACA Subsidies for 20M+ Americans for $32B. #GOPPriorities

Compare that to the recent New York Times article that swapped out "murder" for "cartel strike." The always clever fascists never talk right and don't want you to talk right either. Don't talk like a fascist. Talk like Sen. Gallego. Tell the truth. Say it plain and direct. Don't play games. Be real.

Sen. Gallego, a Democratic US senator from the red state Magadonia province of Arizona, isn't willing to play word games with the fascists. Ordering the US military to randomly blow up fishing boats because of suspected illegal activity is murder. And it's very simply that. Marine Corp vet, so ..

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

For an administration that came out of the box threatening Canadian independence, Greenland’s sovereignty, the Panama Canal, etc., it sure has a glass jaw. 🤡

WELKER: Why is the president setting trade policy based on a TV ad he doesn't like?

BESSENT: This is a kind of propaganda against US citizens. It's psyops
