Coward mad about not getting to vote on important issues… votes to censure only rep courageous enough to stand up for current issues.
Congress has 9 days to avert a government shutdown, and what are we voting on today?
Disapproval resolutions about rubber tires and (surprise surprise) APPLIANCES!
Disapproval resolutions about rubber tires and (surprise surprise) APPLIANCES!
Congress has only 10 days until a government shutdown, and Speaker Johnson still hasn’t brought a single one of the 12 spending bills he promised.
We can’t just pass a clean CR, which might fund waste and continue the status quo. So where are the bills?

I was just listening to a podcast on the way in today about how the Germans were unhappy with the low number of Poles they were killing early in the war.
Trump officials have instructed ICE to aggressively ramp up the number of daily arrests to make Trump happy, even setting quotas and threatening to discipline those who fall short of them.
Transcript: Angry Trump’s Orders to Border Officials Grow Unnerving
An interview with a former senior ICE official, who argues that Trump's disappointment over "low" migrant arrests and his demand for bigger numbers could divert resources away from serious criminals.

Whenever I think Democrats cannot be more disappointing.
It’s clear that more time is needed to find an American buyer for TikTok.
We will continue working to keep TikTok alive, protect content creators’ livelihoods, protect against CCP surveillance, and protect national security.
I will work with the Trump Admin to find a solution.
