Trump violates the Constitution by accepting this airplane from Qatar. Impeachment is the Constitution’s remedy. But since Chuck Schumer did this stunt, maybe he’ll remember that withholding unanimous consent is one of the many powers a Senator could use to, I don’t know, obstruct Trump’s agenda

You know that video that Trump showed today purporting to be a mass "burial site" of white farmers? Well, Elon tweeted it out last week -- and it's actually footage from a memorial procession five years ago after two people were killed in an armed robbery. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We already know Republicans want to gut Medicaid to pay for their billionaire tax cut. Now the nonpartisan CBO says their plan would add so much to the deficit that it would force huge cuts to MEDICARE too. They've put health care on the chopping block.

All but a few of the nearly 400 books that the U.S. Naval Academy removed from its library because they dealt with anti-racism and gender issues are back on the shelves after a Pentagon-ordered review — the latest turn in a dizzying effort to rid the military of materials related to DEI programs.

The CBO just released a score on Republicans' existing mega-package and found that the GOP budget plan would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion over a decade. It would boost the incomes of the richest 10% of Americans while lowering the incomes of the lowest 10%.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks won her seat in 2024 by 799 votes. That margin is 1.2% the number of people in her district she's taking health care away from. It's extremely unlikely she'll hold that seat in the 2026 midterm election. Maybe Mariannette shouldn't have been Trump's marionette.

The Constitution already blocks this. No legislation is needed. The correct response to Trump taking this $400 million "gift" without Congress's permission is for Schumer to ask the House to impeach him. Remember: bribery is one of the two explicitly named offenses in the impeachment clause.
