If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

House Republicans released Jack Smith’s testimony about his Jan 6 case against Trump on New Year’s Eve, presumably to try to bury it. It didn’t work; here’s what he said:

What a f-ing second - the President will use money extorted from a foreign government to fund spending without any congressional approval? Forget the impact on Venezuela, this is full-blown dictatorship in the USA.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost:

Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election."

In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

The constitutional remedy for a president who launches a war of acquisition against an ally is impeachment, removal, disqualification, and ultimately a criminal trial. And the same is true for every member of his cabinet involved in such an illegal undertaking.

Still can’t get over how much Rubio’s body language and demeanor have changed from a decade ago. If this were a movie about a politician who sold his soul for power, the actor playing Rubio would be panned for his ham-fistedness.

MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela
