Truth always eventually wins

“He was just joking” “You’re taking him out of context” “I didn’t hear him say that” - Republicans, probably

Thomas Massie just revealed that Pete Hegseth is going to Kentucky to personally campaign against him. “This shows how serious it is to the global elites that I lose.” “The Secretary of War may be coming to my district to campaign against me.” “During a war.” “And that’s why it’s so serious that I do win.” “If there’s gonna be any hope in Washington, DC.” “If there’s gonna be anybody that ever challenges the narrative, whether it’s on war or immunity for companies, whether they’re data centers or pesticide manufacturers.” Clayton Morris: “It’s one big uniparty.” “And when you call out the corruption machine, they don’t like that.” “Because they’ve been duping the American people for so long.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY @ClaytonMorris

CNN split screen on what Trump was saying on China before he went there and after:

🚨 Trump illegally taxed working families for over a year. The Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional. $166 billion is being refunded right now. But here’s the part no one is talking about. The refunds are going to the importers. Not to you. Not to the families who paid $1,751 more on groceries, on clothes, on car parts, on everything. 330,000 corporations are getting checks. 53 million shipments are being refunded with interest. You paid the tax. They’re getting the money. Trump said he’d “fight” giving any of it back to families. His own words. Newsom is right. Pay the people. $1,751 per household. Every dollar. What’s the point of a court ruling something illegal if the people who actually paid never get their money back?

Members of Congress earn more than 90% of Americans.

Massive contradiction on Fox News. Trump accidentally exposes his own failed trade policies, openly admitting he is actively allowing Chinese manufacturing to take over US soil just to avoid his own tariffs. The White House is completely selling out American industries.

Donald Trump is about to turn Jan 6 criminals into MILLIONAIRES. With your tax dollars. The people who smeared feces on the Capitol walls… …hunted Mike Pence through the halls of Congress… …assaulted cops. He’s creating a $1.7 billion apology fund for them. Disgusting.

@WhiteHouse Daily 🤡 show. Americans are struggling, our President spends taxpayer money on vanity projects, and the US is the laughing stock of the world.

NO GAMES.

Ban stock trading by the President. Ban stock trading by the Vice President. Ban stock trading by members of Congress. End the corruption.

So Mike Johnson and many republicans are against banning Members of Congress from trading stocks because inflation makes their salary less valuable. Here’s an idea: if $174k a year isn’t enough for you, then resign and let someone who is willing to work the job do it. There are plenty of young people who would be willing to give up stock trading for that salary. And they would actually get stuff done. And if $174k isn’t enough for people to take care of their family, then how the hell is minimum wage?

@WUTangKids @Indi_Tx27 How could they be any less qualified? They don’t uphold the constitution. And btw , it’s “fewer qualified people” not “less”

Absolute insanity….here is Mike Johnson saying members of Congress need to be able to continue their insider trading because the yearly salary of $174K with healthcare and taxpayer funded vacations every other week is not enough for them

What a cockeyed idea.

Absolute insanity on Fox News. Donald Trump explicitly admits his unprovoked military strikes on Iran are entirely for "public relations." He confirms the nuclear site is completely destroyed, yet confesses he continues the aggression purely for PR stunts.

“We have to have sympathy. We need to at least let them engage in some stock trading so they can continue to take care of their family.” - House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on lawmakers trading stocks.

The Trump administration is lying again. They’re already drilling and moving forward on Trump’s giant gold “Independence Arch” before Congress even approved it, just like they tore down the East Wing for Trump’s gilded ballroom project. That’s the MO: do it first, lie, deflect. Rep Huffman showed up at the site and there was already heavy machinery and active drilling underway near Arlington. A 250-foot gold arch for a president who treats taxpayer money like his personal renovation budget.

"Drill baby drill." "We're pumping more oil than we ever have! " "We're bringing in millions & millions of barrels from Venezuela." "We have so much oil we're selling it to other countries." $5.00 GAS ⛽ 🤬 🖕

“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES” That was the actual argument just made in defense of politicians trading stocks. Members of Congress make $174,000 a year. The median American income is roughly $63,000. (3x less) Meanwhile the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour… also unchanged since 2009. And you’re seriously being told politicians need access to insider trading to survive. The system is designed to lead earth to neo-feudalism. And it’s becoming more brazen by the year. Asset ownership consolidates upward. Living standards decline downward. The middle class gets squeezed from both ends and disappears while the elite class accumulates more wealth, more influence, and more protection. Leaving behind a permanent underclass. And a permanent political-financial aristocracy at the top…

Your tax dollars just paid a French oil company to stop building American electricity, and the gas it’s being replaced with is getting shipped overseas to Europe and Asia.    The Trump Administration is PAYING to kill projects that would have lowered your costs.      They tried to kill these projects through the courts and lost. So instead of accepting that, they wrote a billion dollar check with YOUR money, and they are trying to do it AGAIN.    I introduced an amendment to stop Trump from using your tax dollars like an ATM to keep your utility bills high.

🇺🇸 Reporter: "You saw the reports that missile launchers remain in Iran. Is that accurate?" 🇺🇸 Trump: "No, that’s New York Times fake news. The launchers are probably 80% gone." Fact: Not NYT but U.S. intelligence reports say 🇮🇷 Iran has restored 100% of its missile capabilities. This guy’s lost his mind. He’s living in a dream world.

Mike Johnson says Congress can't survive on $174k because of inflation, and uses that to justify letting members trade stocks. Incredible take from the guy who decided his only job was taking orders from the President.
