Very definition of an impeachable offense
Trump admitted he blocked energy funding to punish blue states he lost in 2024, including $586 million for Illinois.
Courts ruled it illegal. He's still blocking the money.
Bipartisan permitting reform won't work if Trump ignores the law. He must reinstate the grants first.

Eight of Ken Paxton’s own top aides turned him in to the FBI. He fired four of them. Texas taxpayers paid $6.6 million for it.
Now he wants a promotion to the Senate.
Even the Bushes said no thanks.

All I can do, day in and day out, is to try to CONVINCE everyone in America that we are literally at WAR with our own GOVERNMENT! The Trump Regime and GOP are DOMESTIC ENEMIES! The longer they remain in POWER, the more DESTRUCTION they will do! I really don't want us to have to engage in a BLOODY REVOLUTION! But if these fascists STEAL or refuse to CERTIFY Democratic wins in the Midterms, and our Democratic lawmakers REFUSE to contest (like they did in 2016 and 2024), what other OPTIONS will we have? There's no WAY we will SURVIVE them until 2028! And if they RIG or otherwise SUBVERT 2026, you KNOW they will do it AGAIN! They are attempting to CEMENT PERMANENT POWER! Trump is already talking about a 3RD TERM! Even if he's no longer ALIVE, his illegitimate Regime will follow in his PATH! This is why I continually PRESSURE our Democratic lawmakers to FUCKING DO SOMETHING! Everyone needs to GET ONBOARD before it's TOO LATE!

This was all so avoidable.
Trump's reckless war of choice in Iran has been an embarrassing national tragedy that has cost us in American lives, economic stability and affordability, and international credibility.

BREAKING: OBSESSION! Trump derails his own rally to MELT down over President Obama's hilarious Cheesecake Factory joke — proving it got under his skin.
This was a heat-seeking missile from Obama...
"Who could've guessed the joke would've baited Trump into spending the last week of the election talking more about his White House renovations?" observed Jon Favreau, a former Obama speechwriter.
He was replying to a clip from Trump's rally in Mississippi that has since gone viral.
"And now they say, 'Oh whoa, whoa, Barack Obama is gonna start campaigning,'" Trump said in a mocking voice. "And he's not even campaigning— Tell him he's not campaigning about me, maybe he'll go home."
"But he came in yesterday and he made a speech and part of his speech was to say, isn't it terrible that Donald Trump spends a lot of his time, very little time, I do it very good, I'm really good at real estate and fixing things," Trump continued. "I fix things very good, very beautifully and— I always build beautiful and inexpensive, which is a good combination if you can do."
The truth, of course, is that Trump has zero taste and everything he "renovates" ends up looking gaudy, hideous, and cheap, while simultaneously being insanely expensive because of all the graft and sweetheart deals he bakes in. The estimated cost for his unnecessary White House ballroom has skyrocketed to $600 million, up from the $200 million that was originally predicted.
"But I can do it naturally, it's a natural thing. It actually relaxes me," said Trump, who spends such little time actually working that he shouldn't have any need for relaxation. He's always relaxing.
"'Donald Trump spends a lot of his time fixing up the White House,'" said Trump, in a strange voice. "Isn't that a nice thing to do? The place? No. He said 'this isn't a Cheesecake Factory.'" Can you believe it?"
What Obama actually said was that Trump has the White House looking like "Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory," which is by far the best description we've ever heard for Trump's idiosyncratically tacky preferences.
"Which is a very successful company," Trump went on.
"This isn't— He doesn't like successful companies. But you know, he was very critical about me because I spend time..."
Obviously, Obama's point wasn't that there is anything wrong with Cheesecake Factory. His point was that the Oval Office shouldn't look like a place where you can order Roadside Sliders.
"And if you would have seen the White House, I took over the White House and it was in horrible condition," whined Trump. "I don't wanna use a terrible word. It was in horrible condition. The plaster was falling off the exterior, you have an exterior coat...The plaster was falling off. The paint was no good. A lot of the beautiful ornamentation that they have around the windows."
"I mean they had four or five windows where literally the ornamentation was up on one side and had fallen off or half fallen off on the other," he went on, clearly upset. "And I fixed it. We made a mold of the good one and we put it on the other one. And we got it all beautiful. And then we skim coated with an exterior plaster that's phenomenal. The entire exterior with the best artisans you've ever seen. And we delicately one thing after we took a tile that was broken that was. I mean, I don't wanna say from Home Depot, but it does come from a box. And this is not for the White House."
This is what the President of the United States is choosing to devote his energy to with the midterms just one week away and a worsening affordability crisis. Americans are begging for relief from skyrocketing gas prices caused by his disastrous Iran War and Trump is rambling about renovations. Obama really is a master strategist. He lobbed his rhetorical firebomb, then let Trump handle the rest.
Please ❤️ and share if you feel the blue wave coming!

" . . . this is the Trump family, Musk and Putin against global democracy."
For the first time in our 250 year history, the President of the US is an enemy of democracy, both at home and abroad. The enmity toward democracy has infected the entire GOP. They must be defeated.
More scenes from Kyiv overnight where Russians once again poured ballistic missiles onto the city, targeting university dormitories, killing people, injuring many, all in partnership with the White House that refuses to deliver air defenses that Europe paid for.
This isn't about countries, this is the Trump family, Musk and Putin against global democracy.

.@jamestalarico: The problem with Ken Paxton is not that he didn't grow up in Texas. It's that he doesn't understand Texas. I believe anyone can be a Texan. It doesn't matter if you're an 8th generation Texan like me, or if you just got here. What makes a Texan is deep in the heart. Texas used to be known as the friendly state. Friendship is our official state motto. The word Texas comes from a Native American word for 'friend.' They used that word to describe a friend in a different tribe. Friendship across tribes. Friendship across divisions. That's what makes Texas so great.

Let’s be honest, it won’t end his terrible presidency. But you can and should send Democrats to Congress instead of Republicans.
They will hold him to account, unlike the current Republicans.
He’ll resort to Executive Orders, but it won’t be the same.
He won’t like it, he’ll be a bit of a lame duck president and when it comes to Trump, that’s a very good thing…

MAGA's man in Latin America hired a hitman to kill his girlfriend. He also said he would "take down" the Mexican president. He's since been arrested, but now the attorney prosecuting him has been arrested by the US DEA.
