It's disgraceful that anyone in or near the Administration has supported these guys. And 18-year old Barron Trump expressed his "belief" that they are innocent? Does he have some inside information?
Trump, and his son Barron, helped get another accused child rapist free.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.

There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

So the best & the brightest are those who can pay $1 Million? Including the nepo children of millionaires/billionaires, drug dealers, but not the smart science nerd who MIT wants to admit to college or wants to bring to its post-grad lab? Lutnick's statement says more than he realizes.
Lutnick: "We should be bringing in the best and brightest, and that's what Donald Trump is changing about our immigration system. Let's expedite the best and brightest who are gonna give a million dollars to the US to prove they're at the top of the list."

Asking questions of Trump is pointless. At best, you get an answer that makes him look terrible--word salad, personal insults, attacks, lies. You never get an honest, direct answer to policy questions
Q: Multiple House Republicans have been critical of Speaker Mike Johnson. Are you still confident in him?

Highly, highly inappropriate behavior for a Federal court judge. He should be forced to recuse from any case involving the Trump Administration.
NEW: Emil Bove, thumbing his nose at America, is making a mockery of the rule of law.
Attending Trump's rally on Tuesday, Judge Emil Bove let it be known that his DOJ actions were just the beginning. Bove must face accountability, and ultimately impeachment.

This guy was given a lifetime seat on the bench and he couldn't stay out of partisan political activity? I hope that the chief judge of the 3rd circuit forces him to recuse from any case involving the government.
Bove has also—after being sworn in as a judge on the Third Circuit—been observed visiting Main Justice for consultations with Bondi and Blanche. Grossly unethical conduct.

But then those cancer patients would have to pay a prohibitively high premium for insurance. That's one of the bad results the ACA was designed to prevent. The GOPers really have no idea what they're talking abour.
The Republicans really haven’t given healthcare policy even a few moments of thought. Every idea is just “take what insurance already is and make it less.”
Marshall on the GOP healthcare plan: "The other thing I would do is establish an invisible high-risk insurance pool, a reinsurance pool. And when people reach a certain amount of spending, say for cancer, they would go into this reinsurance pool & that protects everybody from a preexisting issue"

I disagree with the contention that this is PR for Greene. Whether or not she understands why she was wrong is irrelevant. The fact is, she's a prime example of Trump turning on his most loyal supporters when they dare to disagree & his lack of any empathy whatsoever.

It's a good point, but remember that there are 66 Million people on Medicare. What if we had Medicare for all?
everyone wants socialism until theyre told its “socialism”
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

They have a third message: It's all Biden's fault.
More seriously than just posting "lmao" - I think this is actually underscoring a huge political liability for the Trump admin. They have effectively two messages: Trumps, which is that everything is amazing, and the people who are in reality desperately trying to spin that it'll get better.

People pay for their healthcare now. And those who can't afford it get subsidies from the government. What part of this doesn't he understand? (Rhetorical question: He doesn't understand any of it.)
The Trump Plan will give Americans the opportunity to pay for their healthcare. One problem has yet to be solved: The healthcare will be unaffordable.
Q: What is the Republican healthcare plan?
TRUMP: If the Democrats go along with it -- which they don't want to -- I want the money to be paid to the people to go out and buy their own healthcare.

So for 5 years they were reducing crime making streets safer--more than 4 of those years were under Biden and his Senate-approved US Attorney for NJ. Meanwhile judges were letting criminals loose on the streets? Seems to be a contradiction there. And she's decided to leave a job she doesn't have.

The Supreme Court upholding the lower courts' ruling that the tariffs are illegal & forcing a rollback could result in lowering of inflation, thereby improving the GOP's chances in the mid-terms and even the GOP Presidential candidate in 2028.

Asked a med. pro--a possible reason is if the veins in one's arm have had so many IVs or injections that they are now hard to use.
Actual question, for medical professionals:
If you need to be hooked up for regular IVs, why not in your arm? Or some place that, except for your face and neck, is the most unavoidably visible part of your body?
Not snarky; just wondering why it couldn't be in arm, leg, abdo, etc.

As I've written elsewhere, Europe just has different rules about free speech & censorship than the U.S. does. (Didn't Melania take advantage of that by suing someone for defamation in the U.K. instead of here?) And no one from this Administration should be complaining about censorship.
What Rubio decries as "censorship" in the EU's fine against X is, in truth, justice for a platform that defied laws for over two years. It's the verdict of an investigation exposing X as a festering abscess of disinformation pus, propagandist mud, unverified slime, and manipulative decay. #FakeNews

It's a waste of time & energy. We all know what it means when a GOP official claims ignorance. There's no upside trying to shame them for their refusal to acknowledge Administration actions, since they are largely shameless.
Sure. Or grill them harder. Question their competence. “You’re a US Senator. How can you not know about this? This is a big deal. So are you genuinely ignorant or are you lying about being ignorant? Which do you think is worse for your constituents and American democracy?”
If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.
“I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

An argument can certainly be made that birthright citizenship is, on the merits, bad policy for the 21st Century. But the Constitution is the Constitution and your recourse is to amend. And while you're at it, I've got a few bones to pick with the Constitution, starting with the Electoral College.

The GOP is basically a messaging operation, not a governing one. So the public focus on the boat strikes hampers Trump's and his allies' efforts to lie about the state of the economy, healthcare, etc. They have lots of opportunity to fix these problems, just no plans or will.
Grocery, electricity, and healthcare costs are all increasing.
What is the Trump Administration focused on? Boat strikes in Venezuela that may not even be heading for the U.S. and are not clearly legal.
Their priorities are all completely messed up.

It should go without saying--but apparently needs to be said to Blanche--that plea bargains and leniency should be about the defendant, the evidence and the merits, not who the lawyer is.
DAG Blanche says DOJ takes white-collar investigations seriously, but its website has just a single new FCPA (foreign bribery) case all this year.
Now, he says if DOJ improperly targets a company, he will hold against them if it spoke the truth about DOJ's deficient performance.
That's justice?

Todd Blanche is now warning lawyers who criticize Trump's Justice Department:
The DOJ's No. 2 official suggested that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they've publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime.

Europe has different rules than the U.S. does about speech and censorship. Our commitment to 1st Amendment rights has long been stronger than Europe's. But under Trump, we're fast losing our higher moral ground, and Rubio has a lot of nerve to criticise the EU.
