Wow -- Rep. Brad Sherman tells Trump, "I would never turn to somebody from Louisiana and say, 'you keep living on your cousins's coach until Louisiana agrees with me on a woman's right to choose.'"

So Target got real comfy thinking us millennial moms won’t take our basic girl bits to Costco & Aldi after they cut DEI programs to satisfy the new administration.
Big mistake. Huge.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service.
Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.

Let's be clear: You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 state legislatures to ratify an amendment. Trump doesn't have that.
For all that my GOP colleagues claim to love our Founding Fathers, they seem to have forgotten the words of Thomas Paine: In America, there is no king but the law.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

Did they vote “Nay”. Tell them thank you.

In 2019, when Trump wanted John Ratcliffe as his head of National Intelligence, Democrats called him shockingly unqualified, noting his only qualification was loyalty to Trump. Trump had to pull the nomination and do a recess appointment.
Today, only 25 Dems voted against him for head of the CIA.

Listen up America.
Unlawful arrests and lengthy detentions of US citizens, on the false premise that they were "illegal immigrants," also happened in the first Trump administration.
Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.
