The President is saying if you pay him directly, you get face time and special treatment.

The corruption is staggering and completely without precedent.

This President is a crook, no two ways about it.

Death threats against judges are rising — and instead of dialing it back, the GOP is doubling down.

Even after Chief Justice John Roberts called the push for impeachment “not appropriate,” Republicans are pressing ahead. Just this week, House Republicans moved to impeach six federal judges.

Musk has poured millions of dollars into Wisconsin to buy the this Supreme Court seat. The election is in a week - don't let him walk away with it. Join a phone bank, talk to some friendly voters, and kick Musk out of Wisconsin.
NEXT WEEK: There’s an important election that will impact the midterms and 2028. Elon Musk is trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court and end the liberal majority in this battleground state.

No Senator was elected to let the President or some unaccountable billionaire decide how YOUR tax dollars get spent.

Let me be clear: CONGRESS holds the power of the purse, and NO President can unilaterally abolish an entire agency or ignore our appropriations laws.

🚨 Today, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and best-selling author David Maraniss said this about the The Washington Post, where he has worked since 1977.
The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.
