Rep. Jason Crow's office is seeking a Capitol Police investigation into Trump for what they described as "intimidating, threatening, and concerning" social media posts.
It's highly unusual for a member of Congress to request a police investigation into a sitting president of the United States.

Calling on our service members to remember their training isn’t controversial. Using “trust me bro” as justification for killing in international waters should be. Where is the Republican Doormat Congress? @wellmanformo.bsky.social #teamwellman #Missouri #military #veteran #StLouis #Congress

Democrats scored big in school board races across Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio — flipping dozens of seats.
The party's candidates pushed issues regarding test scores and bus safety over debates about which bathrooms transgender students use and banning books from school libraries.

Unclear where this war profiteering plan came from or why it emerged right now, but clear that it is in every way disastrous
This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
