Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Rep Stutzman conveniently left off his list of entities harmed by tariffs all the small businesses, families & farmers (who subsequently got bailed out last I heard). So yes, rising prices after COVID but this is a whole ballgame with high prices.

No Rep Stutzman, although you mimic Trump real good, the 10% cap on credit card interest is a terrible idea. Many economists agree that it can create real problems, not help. And it certainly is no boon for financial industry.
Many Americans cant qualify for the rate meaning they cant get credit.

Rep Henry Cuellar needs to go. DINO.
This bill is flagrantly anti-woman. It is women who have had name changes as is so typical with marriage who will be affected.

House passes SAVE America Act, sending Trump-backed election bill to the Senate
The legislation would overhaul federal election laws in all 50 states by imposing new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. But it faces a daunting path in the Senate.

Im going to ask a tough question.

Could Indiana Rep Stuztman suck any harder? You sure got Trump's attention today suckle-boy.

Trump has the right to call for DEATH BY HANGING for making a statement in public? Free speech can kiss your ass? Is that your position, Suckleboy?

What a flaming IDIOT.

This is Trump following through on promises to rollback environmental protections & provide industry w/no accountability in polluting our country.
Trump is a toxin.
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche should not be practicing law, and they certainly should not be the most powerful prosecutors in the US.
After Bondi's performance yesterday, she should be impeached by a large majority and investigated for her role in this heinous coverup

Late last year, Fish and Wildlife said it was "no longer appropriate" to protect #GrayWolves under the #ESA, and they wouldn't bother developing a recovery plan for them.

We told them that move was illegal — and we just took them to court to prove it 🐺🐺

All Democrats should be a NO on this destructive legislation. It reflects Trump's further attempt to sabotage the midterms. Call your Congress people today!
In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

The entire Trump cabinet must be held accountable for their blatantly unconstitutional activities.
I honestly can’t remember any prior AG being this overtly disrespectful in a Congressional hearing.

They really think they’re never going to be in the minority.

Maybe I memory holed it, but personal attacks on members of Congress during testimony just seems so out of bounds.
