Blanche is the Trump Crime Family Syndicate lawyer PERIOD! He doesn't represent the American people. He only cares about helping Trump get around Federal laws & the US Constitution to operate like an authoritarian dictator!

Since Speaker Johnson sent us home last week, a lot of people have asked me the same thing: If a majority of Congress wants to vote, why can't we just show up and vote?    It's a fair question, and the answer tells you how much power one person holds over the people's House.   The fact that the Speaker can shut it all down should bother you. The House is supposed to answer to the people of this country, and knowing a vote isn’t going to go the way you want is no reason to send everybody home.

I believe the internet, Fox News, and the COVID lockdowns transitioned many already disillusioned (and often bigoted) Americans into irrational, hate filled, spiteful, and selfish people. The irrational part of it alone explains a lot.

Watching people who propped up this corrupt disaster of an administration for their own enrichment start to slowly back away with their hands up will be good for short term dunks, but thats not good enough. It should be a reputational nuke from which these people never recover.

Fox New’s biggest fucking hypocrites put aside their Democratic Communism baiting to go to the WH and kiss the ass of the world‘s most powerful communist dictator.

The Trump Organization has announced new projects in Saudi Arabia, India, Qatar, Romania, the Maldives, Georgia and South Korea during Trump's second term. They all pose serious conflicts of interest and would be unthinkable for a less corrupt president. citizensforethics.org/report…

They are undoubtedly thinking “Here’s to the death of the United States of America as a Democratic Republic.” If the Republicans retain the House and Senate, the guy in the middle will probably declare a name change to the United States of Trump.

January 1, 2027. That's when the biggest Medicaid cuts in modern American history officially start to bite. Trump's Big Ugly Bill signed in July includes work requirements, provider tax changes, and eligibility restrictions that the nonpartisan CBO says will push roughly 10.9 million Americans off their health coverage by 2034 — including up to 7.6 million from Medicaid alone. But here's the part that should make your blood pressure spike: The midterm elections are on November 3, 2026. The cuts begin six weeks later. This wasn't an oversight. The pain was deliberately scheduled to begin after voters had already cast their ballots. Republicans knew exactly what these cuts would do to rural hospitals, seniors, kids with disabilities, and working families. They just didn't want you connecting the dots at the ballot box. 92% of adults on Medicaid already work. The "work requirement" doesn't catch freeloaders — it kicks people off coverage because of paperwork, address changes, or jobs that don't neatly fit a bureaucratic checkbox. The bill also includes a $155 billion cut to rural Medicaid funding. If you live anywhere outside a major city, that ER may not be there in five years. Don't let the timeline trick you. The Big Ugly Bill is a stealth cut. The only question is whether we'll be tricked again. #FlipCongressBlue

This is for TX Crockett supporters. I like her. A lot. But she’s not in the race. I’m not asking you to trade your feeling for her to Talarico. I’m begging you to consider your feelings about being represented by Paxton! Pls don’t stay home. Pls vote blue ALL down the ticket!🙏

The wife of one of the Supreme Court Justices worked behind the scenes to overthrow the last election. And yet has never been investigated. And Clarence Thomas still sits on the highest court in the land. The utter stench of corruption in America today is breathtaking.

These statements never seem to be followed by an acknowledgment that this was totally predictable and all the libs he demagogues were exactly right.
Thiel on Trump: “There are a lot of things I got wrong... was crazier than I thought. It was more dangerous than I thought.” “You wish they’d appointed more competent people.” “administration is… staffed by not very smart but very loyal people”

There are innumerable “loopholes” plus weaknesses in our Constitution and laws that Trump’s presidency has brought to light. I sincerely hope there is a concerted effort underway by very smart people to draft a remedial plan of action to prevent another Trump.
Russ Vought is Donald Trump's budget director and the most dangerous person you've never heard of. He helped write Project 2025, and he has spent years arguing that a president should be free to ignore spending laws he doesn't like. Now he's doing exactly that. Last night, with no vote and no debate, Trump canceled nearly $1 billion that Congress passed and he had previously signed into law. The trick is called a "pocket rescission." The White House sits on money for months, then sends Congress a cancellation request so late in the fiscal year that the funds simply expire on September 30. Last year they used the same move to wipe out $4.9 billion. I sit on the House Appropriations Committee. Under the Constitution, Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent. Republicans and Democrats negotiated these bills in good faith. If a president can erase any spending law by running out the clock, the power of the purse means nothing. I'll keep fighting to restore these funds and close this loophole for good. Congress writes the budget, and it's time more of my Republican colleagues stood up and said so. politico.com/news/2026/09/25…

Remember folks, Trump's Big Beautiful Bill was designed to remove between 5 and 10 million Americans from Medicaid, but it won't take effect until after the midterms. They think you're stupid.

Following the Constitution is “purity”? The President making all of the decisions while members of Congress either comply with his every demand, or remain silent, is fine?
You want purity, which is impossible. But you vote against the party and president that is more on the side of the constitution than the other just to try to virtue signal and grift. Americans saw through it and you lost as an incumbent in your district which only 3% of incumbents ever lose.

This is patently illegal. The President does NOT have the authority to refuse to spend money allocated by Congress. This is Fascism.
The White House announced that it is rescinding more than $800 million in congressionally appropriated funds across a range of government programs. abcnews.link/1Xe1uZQ

I keep thinking there has to be a bottom with Trump, and he keeps proving me wrong. A U.N. commission, for the first time in 70 years, passed a resolution calling for women and girls’ rights and justice and gender equality, 37 to 1. The lone dissenting nation was Donald Trump’s delegation from the United States. He’s against female equality. A new low for Trump. I urge you to remember this in November.
