Democratic congressional candidates nationwide, feeding off voter fury, are raging against their leadership and vowing ruthlessness against their own establishment.

"I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' kind of girl,” said TX state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “If they go low, I'm going to the gutter."

Enraged Democratic candidates turn on their leaders: "You've got to be able to fight ugly"

"If they go low, I'm going to the gutter," one Democratic House candidate said.

The Epstein files contain the name of a prominent former PM who brutally beat & sexually assaulted an 18 year old.

Trump, Bondi, Patel & Johnson don’t want the world to know his name.

That’s why Johnson will have the House adjourned today for the 78th day out of the last 90.

One of my role models for the Trump era (since 1.0) has been @joycevance.bsky.social, whom I look up to for her impeccable legal commentary, ability to do a million things, and inspiration. I can’t wait to read her book — thank you, Joyce! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/801635...

Prior White House renovations were done by practical people with good taste. They made the building more functional without sacrificing its architectural and decorative refinements.

The current renovations are being done by a shockingly vulgar man and will tackily undermine the building's beauty.

Maybe if it dawns on them there's nothing in it for them, but don't hold your breath. They like that he's a wrecking ball no matter how it hurts them.

I'd like to think that this move will cause even the Republican voters that don't pay much attention to see that he's going too far and will push back. But I've thought this countless times before, so what do I know.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” brings ICE’s budget from $10B to $100B by 2029, and allocates $45B to increase the capacity of detention facilities by 100,000. Even if they support the deportations, what do people think will happen to all that infrastructure once there aren’t many immigrants to deport?
