Do any Republicans in Congress care about Trump grabbing oil from Venezuela, handing it off to his megadonors to sell on the international market to whoever, depositing the proceeds in foreign bank accounts, then spending the money however he sees fit with no input from Congress?

Here is the first information we have about the nature of Renee Good’s injuries. It’s absurd and inexcusable that federal law enforcement authorities still are apparently refusing to investigate this police use of force resulting in death.

One of the worst things about Missouri is that we continue to run the plays of other failed states.
Work requirements for Medicaid. A sales tax to replace income tax. Abortion bans. School vouchers. Sending tax cuts to the wealthy.
If the governor were a football coach, he would be fired.

Bondi is still angry about the resignation of six prosecutors. “They want to be part of the resistance? Yeah, bring it on,” Bondi said. “They’re not going to be working for Donald Trump and the DOJ any longer.” That’s correct, by resigning, they are no longer working for Trump or the DOJ.

Nothing Trump does is intended to benefit average people in the US, Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, or anywhere else. They are always the ones who bear the costs, burdens and negative consequences.
