Chief Justice Roberts should be impeached as a traitor to Americans!

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Vance is back in Indiana today, personally pressuring GOP lawmakers to ignore their conscience and enact an extreme gerrymandering plan. The fact that they have to send in the VP tells us something important and encouraging: political pressure against this plan is working, even in deep red places.

SPEAKING JOHNSON IS A FUCKING LIAR AND WILL ROAST IN HELL FOR WHAT HE IS DOING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

They didn't reform anything in Medicaid, they destroyed Medicaid!

We just crossed a bright red line. The President is delusional and his cabinet is dangerous.

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

Thank you, John. He hid his melanoma from me for 10 years apparently refusing chemo. I'm gobsmacked!

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?
