Mike Johnson’s razor-thin House majority took three hits today — Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation, the unexpected passing of Doug LaMalfa, and the hospitalization of Jim Baird following a serious car accident.
With Tom Massie fighting hard with leadership, the Republican margin shrinks to ONE.

Thinking of @michaelfanone.bsky.social and the other true patriots who defended our Capitol on J6. This Marine Corps combat veteran salutes you and your brothers and sisters in blue. You represent the best of America. Thank you for your courage.

Never forget. The dangerous lesson conveyed by the Trump J6 pardons is that political violence is acceptable when done on the behalf of a President. We should never tolerate this. We deserve better leaders and better politics. Political violence is never acceptable.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Better tax policy would help.
America now has 935 billionaires with $8.1 trillion in collective wealth — a 20% increase from 2024.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 935 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is gonna backfire massively on Hegseth. The smart PR play would have been: We agree with Sen. Kelly and have only issued legal orders. Of course we expect troops to only follow legal orders.
They couldn’t resist punching back and now have elevated his profile and he will be a POTUS contender.

Yep.
Remember kids, nothing about Venezuela constituted an emergency that met the standards for a war powers action. Great, Maduro had a long-delayed legal action. So does Putin. Regardless all prior action against VZ were illegal and nothing takes that away.

Imagine killing 80 people to arrest one in the United States.
Our forces killed 80 humans. 80 families are missing their loved ones.
Madness.

Don't kid yourself, invading Greenland is no less aggressive and illegal than the charges levied against Russia for invading Ukraine. It's not about population as much as it is about territory and sovereignty. I wouldn't blame Europe for reinforcing it now as a deterrent & insisting limits of<

I’m wondering if anybody has any data on how many billionaires, politicians, or oil execs lost their lives or were injured in Iraq fighting for oil? Because 4,432 of my brothers and sisters were killed there and 31,993 were wounded there. And $6T of your money was wasted there. But sure, #Venezuela

The really weird thing about the “war on drugs” is that none of it would exist without Americans’ insatiable appetite for illegal drugs.
No demand? No supply.
It’s really that simple.
Drug trade is just capitalism satisfying a demand signal.

A four-count charging document against ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was unsealed, alleging that he and his inner circle enriched themselves from the illegal proceeds of drug trafficking.
