THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)
Republican lawmakers are incensed about Trump's dismissal of Ukraine — and powerless to stop him. That frustration hit a new peak on Monday as they sought to address Trump’s decision to purchase Russian diesel, waive sanctions on Moscow, and potentially stop sharing intelligence with Ukraine.

if this was decision was really made over the ability to import a little diesel fuel from Russia in a vain attempt to control inflation costs before the midterm, it will say a whole lot about the specific failure mode this country is exhibiting
Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

Cornyn and Tillis folding on Blanche is the most predictable thing ever. They are cowards. The minute Blanche is confirmed, there’s nothing stopping him from reneging on this weaponization fund deal they’ve made. Vote for Democrats if you want a Congress that might actually stand up to this fascist.

Dr. Anthony Fauci smartly invoked the 5th Amendment against a GOP-led campaign to try to “catch” him in a lie. I explain how his preemptive pardon factored into the legal strategy to invoke the 5th and why the GOP should direct their attention on the right target: Trump. youtu.be/jzQTBlc0ci8?...

It’s so refreshing to see a senator who knows how to ask questions. Too often, witnesses deflect and the senator moves on. Ossoff does what a good trial lawyer does—persists until he gets an answer or a refusal to answer. Both responses can be deeply revealing.
Sen. Ossoff exposed in repeated, unrelenting questioning the buffoonery and lies of Pete Hegseth and his bloated, false hyperbole.

Congress, the ball is in your court. Pass a bill with a veto-proof majority to ban our taxpayer dollars from being spent on bogus “weaponization” claims. You control the power of the purse. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/u...

Brilliant job today by Sen. Van Hollen. Blanche can't handle the truth. He doesn't act like an Attorney General. He was Trump's criminal defense lawyer, now he's Trump's personal retribution prosecutor and grift dispenser. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Blanche: I am the Acting Attorney General! The fact that I used to be President Trump’s lawyer is just a fact. DON’T SAY THE PRESIDENT’S FORMER LAWYER WILL DO SOMETHING—SAY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL DO SOMETHING!

Van Hollen to Blanche: "Two days ago, you even suggested there was 'a ton of evidence' the 2020 election was rigged against Trump. And here you are a budget hearing asking for taxpayer funds when you're using them to punish Trump's adversaries, reward his friends, and pursue his personal vendettas."
