We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.

They’re lying.

The Military-Industrial Complex Speech (1961) National Constitution Center Historic Documents Library record for The Military-Industrial Complex Speech (1961)

In his 1961 farewell address, President Eisenhower warned: "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists & will persist.”

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?

We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Every time Congress hands a president more power, passes another Enabling Law, it's another step toward dictatorship. These powers can be clawed back only by force in the future. Democracy is slipping away. The tyrant and his jackals are here.

Pete Hegseth is not "a former member of the press at Fox," as MS NOW just said.
Fox News is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. It makes people less informed than they were before.
Hegseth is a former fascist propagandist who has moved on to become a war criminal.

Make it conditional! Send your questions to them and have them answer in writing and debate them about their answers, because you know they will be a combination of gaslighting word, salad, and bullshit!

.@JamesTalarico: My grandad was a Baptist preacher who told me at an early age that we follow a barefoot rabbi who gave us two commandments: love God and love neighbor.

I’m trying to love my neighbor through public policy, I’m trying to make my neighbor’s life a little easier and a little better.

Talarico: It doesn’t matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we’re running against β€” the billionaire megadonors and their corrupt political system.

The only truth in that is that we are a threat β€” a threat to their corrupt system.

"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."

Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.

China no longer buys US exports: Drawing the right lessons for the next Trump-Xi deal China essentially stopped buying US exports in April 2025. President Donald Trump had started his second term by launching a new trade war that he headlined with steep new tariffs on China. When China...

Without Trump’s trade wars since 2017, US exports to China would have been nearly 60 percent higher in 2025, or roughly $90 billion annually.

For Israel, β€œIf we can have a coup, great. If we can have people on the streets, great. If we can have a civil war, great. Israel couldn’t care less about the future …or the stability of Iran”

What @timmiller.bsky.social and the Bulwarkers still don't seem to get is that the vast majority of gettable voters do not give half a slivered fuck about this stuff. And for the ones that do, if Talarico drives his strong core message, it crams this stuff back into perspective.
