They’re salivating to say it aloud. Hopefully, it’s too soon so we react and they implode

Some House Republicans are breaking ranks — and it isn’t rocket science as to why:

Costs are up, rural hospitals are closing, and Speaker Johnson refuses to end week four of their vacation while the government remains shut down.

In a brazen political act, Secretary Chris Wright cancelled over $600 million for Colorado energy projects.

I’m demanding answers on the reckless decision because Coloradans shouldn’t be forced to pay the price with higher energy costs and layoffs across our state.

Give me a break, Mike. The opposite is true, and you damn well know it.

You call it “historic and heroic,” but what you’re really bragging about is Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation blueprint to gut democracy, hand unchecked power to one man, and erase social programs.

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Trump says he will not give NYC federal funds if Mamdani wins while promising to give $20B to Argentina.

How is this America First?

This is election interference. Blue states should stop sending tax $$ to the federal government.

BREAKING: Marco Rubio's State Department announces publicly that it is exercising unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in revoking people's visas based on comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Department of State v @StateDept g.. The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The entire first two months of the Biden administration were taken up by obsessive complaining about how he wouldn't do press conferences & wasn't taking policy questions (bsky.app/profile/mcop...).

This? Gone tomorrow. Totally different set of standards applied to two totally different parties.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

🚨 Ty Cobb — Trump’s own former White House attorney — isn’t holding back:

“We have a president ordering his AG to indict his enemies… and the AG says: ‘Yes, sir. How fast can I get that done?’”

That’s not justice. That’s regime revenge in broad daylight. Let it sink in.

Have Trump, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and the entirety of the GOP and right-wing media own and embrace these vile and bigoted Telegram messages written by Young Republicans.

They will because they see apology as "weakness."

Tie it around them.
