I’m glad Massie is pushing to impeach Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth, but let’s be clear: he deserves far worse than impeachment. He must be sent to The Hague to stand trial for bombing a school and murdering 161 children. Hegseth himself confessed to the crime. ⬇️

Replying to @swd2
Suggestion: Pass a law that anyone in either party that runs on their party line and then immediately switches to the opposition MUST #RESIGN their seat. A special election should then be held to replace that #turncoat with someone who has #ethics and #allegience.

Not only did the Republican Party suffer extraordinary losses at the federal level, but their bench at the state level got caught up in the blue tsunami as well. This took out a large portion of a future congressional candidate class for the GOP, and rebalanced the power over drawing maps, running elections, and providing further checks on power from outside of Washington. See more from today's show at the link in the reply ⬇️

1/5 Estas declaraciones de Gina Hinojosa tras ganar Texas dejan una lección para la izquierda mundial: la victoria no fue por moderación ideológica, sino por cambio radical en la arquitectura del clivaje. "Vencimos porque la izquierda woke ha muerto". 🧵

If you’ve watched a midterm debate this fall, you’ve heard of the Ratepayer Protection Act, the bill meant to keep data centers from running up your power bill. One party says it protects you. The other says it’s optional. Read it, then see how your representative voted.

Never ever forget how Pres. Trump sent a masked paramilitary force under the command of @GregoryKBovino into the state of Minnesota to murder American citizens..

Washington Republicans helped cause this. They knew it was coming. They had the opportunity to prevent families from facing even higher health insurance costs. Instead, they turned their backs on them.   They allowed the enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, despite repeated warnings about what that would mean for millions of Americans struggling to afford health insurance.   Now, premiums for popular Healthcare. gov plans are set to rise another 11% next year, and Americans will have fewer insurance companies to choose from.   The Affordable Care Act isn't perfect. Democrats know that. That's why we continue fighting to strengthen it, expand access to coverage, and make health care more affordable for every American.   But Washington Republicans have refused to work with us to restore these tax credits and provide meaningful relief to hardworking families.   Instead, they want you to believe these rising costs have nothing to do with the decisions they made in Washington.   Don't let them rewrite the facts.   Rising medical costs are already putting enormous pressure on American families. By allowing these tax credits to expire, Republicans made an already difficult situation even worse.   Americans deserve affordable health care, not political excuses. It's time for Washington Republicans to stop standing in the way and start working with us to lower costs. washingtonsun.com/health/aca…

“It’s the most disgusting political faction our country has produced since segregation, a throng of bootlickers mesmerized by authoritarians, demagogues, grifters, and cowards united in the immoral conviction that ruthlessness is the right solution to any problem. In a better country it would have lost every race it contested on Tuesday. But you know what? It did, almost, lose every competitive race. Ten years too late, Donald Trump’s GOP got what it deserved—so emphatically that the president isn’t even bothering to pretend that the vote was rigged.” thedispatch.com/newsletter/b…

In place of qualified staff, Trump relied on outside advisors, relatives, and self-appointed internet activists whose lists of “enemies within” reached his desk, while intelligence assessments did not. foreignpolicy.com/2026/09/09…

American troops are not political pawns. If Trump delayed military operations against Iran because of the midterms and now plans to resume them because he has “nothing to lose politically,” that’s an outrageous abuse of his responsibility as Commander in Chief.
BREAKING: Trump to order major combat operations against Iran because he "has nothing to lose politically now that the midterms are over," two senior sources tell Reuters. "He is planning to bomb Iran. Don't listen to what he's saying. He held off because of the midterms. We asked him to hold off until the midterms," the sources say. Trump is now "inclined to double down and go ahead with an attack."

Jared Kushner has painted himself into a corner As part of an unprecedented effort to lead negotiations while being on the payroll of foreign gov'ts, Kushner has insisted that he is NOT a gov't official — just a volunteer This will make it very difficult for him to defeat a Congressional subpeona

Accountability must be a cornerstone of the Democratic House agenda; if it isn't, Hakeem Jeffries should not be Speaker. Given that the Trump presidency is overwhelmingly recognized as the most corrupt in U.S. history, leadership cannot afford to be indifferent. We saw the long-term cost of avoiding a reckoning when Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon — a precedent that helped clear the path for the fascist authoritarian shitshow we're dealing with today.

It's time to restore the rule of law in America and end all the presidential lawlessness. Trump’s DOJ is responsible for: -Covering up the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good by DHS agents -Trying to indict and prosecute dozens of innocent Americans to cover up for Trump’s own massive crimes and policy debacles -Granting the Trump family a SUPER pardon while trying to set up a $1.776 billion slush fund for violent insurrectionists and partisan foot soldiers Accountability is coming.

Trump is down. He’s not out. He still has a veto pen—and a track record of treating the law as optional. Take the win seriously. Take the threat seriously, too.
