Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Notice how the MAGA men are desperately trying to assert “masculinity” as they bend the knee for an elite king who has never worked hard or served his country, all while most of the folks with a spine who are fighting for Democracy standing up to him are women- KDH, AOC, Gov Mills, Rep Crockett, etc

Jeffries: President Zelenskyy is not a dictator—he was a duly elected president of Ukraine. It’s shocking—but I guess not surprising—that Donald Trump continues to play footsie with Vladimir Putin, a sworn enemy of the United States.

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

This wasn’t some liberal holdover. This wasn’t a career bureaucrat. This was someone Trump’s team installed. And even she couldn’t stomach what they were doing. She wasn’t alone. Five more federal prosecutors resigned in protest. Bless their courage!
