Rick Scott and Elizabeth Warren just introduced a bill to permanently ban former lawmakers from lobbying. Jail time and heavy fines for violators. Rick Scott. Elizabeth Warren. The furthest right and furthest left senators in the chamber. On the same bill. That’s how corrupt Washington has become. The two people who agree on almost nothing both agree the revolving door has to end.

Too many people have accepted Donald Trump’s presidency as "normal." Too many believe there is nothing we can do, and that we simply need to outlast his term. Let me be clear: We cannot endure another 32 months with this mendacious, narcissistic, rapist, want to be dictator who is selling us out to the highest bidder. Not only can we stand up and fight back—we must. Join our campaign so we can take this fight to Congress to impeach, convict, and remove Trump and his cabinet. gc4ny.com/I-Left

I’m struck by how often Trump referred to Xi as his “friend” and a “great leader.” Xi Jinping, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, is a dictator. He also offered no such reciprocal praise for Trump. That asymmetry makes Trump appear in a visibly weaker position.

NEW: Kamala Harris is calling for an “expanded playbook” to strengthen democracy — including Electoral College reform, Supreme Court expansion, rules for SCOTUS including consequences for lying to the Senate, multi-member districts, and D.C./Puerto Rico statehood. Who agrees? ✋

One of our greatest challenges after Trump is gone will be rebuilding the DOJ and preventing future prosecutorial abuses — no more 'seashells cases.' We must codify new guardrails to protect the DOJ’s independence for good.

AMAZING! This just appeared near Trump’s Bedminster, NJ Golf course. I agree 100%.

I am BEGGING reporters: Couldn't just ONE of you come to these Mike Johnson press briefings with an iPad LOADED with trump's latest idiotic statements, so he can stop saying "I haven't heard/seen it?"? How hard would that be? JFC.

"Taxpayers are footing a whopping $1 billion bill for Trump's ballroom. Your budget cuts the National Park Service by $1 billion. If you put this $1 billion towards our national parks instead of Trump's ballroom, that would benefit every single American."

Don’t forget about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. Don’t forget about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. Don’t forget about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s victims. Don’t forget about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.

COLLINS: But if someone was paying $2.98 a gallon before the war, and now they're paying $4.53, saying 'that's life' might not make them feel better JIM JORDAN: Those are your words, not mine COLLINS: You said that just now. I quoted you.

Can someone please explain why Sebastian Gorka, a Hungarian and Russian asset who worked with Putin's oligarchs, is in charge of counter-terrorism for the Trump administration?

A $1 billion for a Ballroom, $10 billion for vanity projects in DC, $15 million for an arch in front of Arlington Cemetery veterans oppose. Meanwhile—they are proposing to cut over $1 billion in tribal programs, eviscerating tribal housing, education, water and other basic programs, while opening sacred sites like Chaco Canyon. How can they defend this? They can’t. Because, it’s indefensible.

Trump's vicious attack on @rachelvscott was proceeded by a pattern IMO of attacks on Black women. He has done this for years. NO fellow journalists EVER stand up for these women. It's disgusting behavior. And remember I made this back in 2020

Journalist Jim Acosta noticed that there are two staging areas in the traffic circle right across from the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery which looks like Trump is going to start construction of his Arch without approval from Congress & no work is being done to the pool

CASAR: For the $1 billion we're being asked to spend on Trump's ballroom, we could fund 217 million free school lunches and 15,000 more teachers. As secretary of education, which do you think helps our nation more? McMAHON: I think those are incredibly weird comparisons

"All those stupid rallies": Trump voter brutally rejects Trump, "Just seeing the lies. He put us in a war. He's putting up gold statues of himself. When are people going to wake up?"

Thomas Massie: “The force of the whole swamp has come down on me.” “It’s three billionaires.” “They’re hedge fund managers and gambling magnates.” “They’re upset that I’ve never voted for foreign aid.” “Particularly foreign aid to Israel.” “And they’re upset that I vote against the wars.” “These billionaires are funding a super PAC called MAGA Kentucky.” “They are not MAGA, and they have never been to Kentucky.” “There will be $6 million spent this week on TV and radio and mail.” “Fox News, they’ve got a monopoly on the screens in a lot of Republican houses, particularly people between the ages of 65 and 75.” “For the last 18 months, they’ve not invited me on a single show.” “They have blacklisted me.” “I can’t get on TVs in the living rooms of the people that vote in this election unless I can buy TV ads.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY
