Rep. Larson (D-CT) erupts during DOGE hearing Representative John Larson (D-CT) spoke out against Elon Musk and President Donald Trump during the DOGE oversight hearing. Larson questioned lawmakers about the meeting taking place.

Thank you Rep Larson for showing the appropriate outrage toward Republicans and their inability to hold Republicans accountable for destroying lives of Americans!

Sen Jeff Merkley, "Is President Trump a Russian asset?"
He lies that Ukraine started the war
He's stated that Zelensky is a dictator
He's cut off arms shipments to Ukraine
He's ended Europe's security partnership
He attacked Zelensky at the news conference
He opposes NATO membership for Ukraine

"Xi, Putin, and Iran really are an Axis of Evil...Putin would continue to march through Europe if he were allowed. I think he might go to the Balkans next...he might have a showdown with Poland or one of our allies...I'd rather send bullets to Ukraine than our boys." Mike Johnson, 4/17/24

'2013, five Supreme Court Republican's ruled to allow states to gerrymander based on presumed political affiliation and on race and to throw millions of people off the voter rolls.'
Why aren't Dem's playing with the same rules?

Hakeem Jeffries, on Stewart's Weekly Show, was so excited about his Knicks. Now, if he could only find that enthusiasm for leading Democrats. Jeffries was so dull and lifeless throughout the entire interview, until the last minute talking about basketball. Very disappointing. Leaderless house.

A quarter of US shoppers have dumped favorite stores over political stances A new poll also found that four in 10 Americans have shifted spending to align with moral views in recent months

Shopping is a very serious challenge if you don't want to give money to people that might give money to Republicans but that's what needs to be considered.

If you gave $680 from your $1M fortune it would be the same percent X gave to the president of his $400B fortune. Essentially, nothing. He bought our country for the cost of one expensive dinner.

Spoonamoore has backed away from some of the details in this interview but why didn't Dems take this opportunity to learn other ways that Republicans are stealing elections. It's a very interesting video.

Democratic governors criticize Chuck Schumer for weak resistance to Trump Exchange between six governors and Senate minority leader exposes divisions in party over opposition approach

Don't let up on Democratic Senators and Representatives until they begin to use every tool available to push back against the dirty and illegal Republican agenda and policies.
