AOC refuses to yield floor to "disrespectful man" in fiery House clash
As the House Energy and Commerce Committee worked late into the night, Texas GOP Rep. Randy Weber rudely demanded that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez address him and the other members of the committee, not the C-SPAN camera — and she rightfully refused. The New York congresswoman was asking out loud what the consequences might be for patients having miscarriages under the GOP’s proposed work requirements to qualify for Medicaid, because obviously the men who wrote the bill didn't think about that since they've never worried about a miscarriage or its effects on their bodies. Weber, of course, was more concerned with women paying attention to him than their well-being. "We'd like for you to address the Republicans," he said. "Let’s have a dialogue this way and not to a camera." AOC shot back. "There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen there. Hello, hello," Ocasio-Cortez said, waving to the camera. "I'm talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here because there are plenty of districts, including Republican ones, where 25 percent of your constituents are on Medicaid, 40 percent of your constituents are on Medicaid." When Weber asked her to yield her time back — basically telling her to shut up — AOC refused. "I will not yield because it was a terribly disrespectful comment, and I will not yield to disrespectful men." BOOM! [RETWEET THAT!]

Marine veteran answers call to resist Trump
JoAnna Mendoza for Congress: JoAnna Mendoza served our country for twenty years as a drill sergeant in the United States Marines, training the brave men and women who defend our country overseas, and now she’s ready to defend our nation from Donald Trump’s extremism in the halls of Congress. As a lifelong public servant, JoAnna refuses to sit idly by while Donald Trump and Elon dismantle the systems that provide for our veterans after their service and send countless more vets to the unemployment line with their gutting of the federal government. Will you chip in to help Joanna flip this winnable red seat and take back control of Congress from the GOP?

Trump tells bizarre "fat shot" story about "seriously overweight" businessman and Elon Musk's AI bot Grok thinks the story was actually about him
Sure, we're being ruled by a goon squad of cruel, self-serving, reckless man-children with the emotional intelligence of a gang of middle school boys staring at a Playboy on the back of a school bus, the implications of which are legitimately terrifying for the future of our country and humanity in general... But also, this is objectively hilarious.

Some Republicans voice concern over Trump's plan to accept Qatari plane
Did you hear that? They're "concerned!" Multiple Republicans, even! Unmoved, the wannabe dictator said it would be "stupid" for him to refuse Qatar’s offer of the $400 million luxury jumbo jet bribe, which would theoretically be used as US “Air Force One” before being parked at the future Trump Presidential Library. “There will be plenty of scrutiny,” Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune said with all the vigor and veracity of a man utterly disinterested in challenging his party's cult leader. "The plane poses significant espionage and surveillance problems, so we'll see how this issue plays out," Ted Cruz added. Uh, we know how this will play out. Donald will get his way, and feckless Republicans will dutifully fall in line, like they always do.

GOP silent as Trump and Elon backstab our veterans
VoteVets: Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relentless efforts to gut the federal government and dismantle its agencies is a full-fledged attack on our veterans. One-third of the federal workforce are veterans. DOGE’s budget cuts are gutting veteran livelihoods, public service careers, and threatening their access to essential care. That’s why VoteVets is launching a movement to fight back and restore the institutions that our vets risked their lives to protect. Will you add your name and stand with our veterans against Donald Trump’s rampage?

12-year-old boy left alone on sidewalk after ICE raid in Massachusetts
This is the second time in a week that the FaMiLy VaLuEs™ administration has simply abandoned children after snatching their parents away, leaving them all alone and in abject terror. Waltham City Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur saw the raid and recorded video of the incident. "He looks about my son's age," Bradley-MacArthur said. "It makes me feel sick to my stomach as a mom, as a human being." Four days ago, ICE agents in California arrested a father and simply left his two kids in their car at a gas station. Monstrous cruelty from modern-day Gestapo agents.
Chuck Schumer says he is placing a hold on Trump DOJ nominees amid questions on Qatar's luxury jet gift
Schumer is finally taking a stand in light of the MAGA cult leader's most brazen display of corruption yet. "In light of the deeply troubling news of a possible Qatari-funded Air Force One, and the reports that the Attorney General personally signed off on this clearly unethical deal, I am announcing a hold on all DOJ political nominees, until we get more answers,” said Schumer in a statement. That's all well and good, but...are you telling us you could have been doing this sort of thing THE WHOLE TIME and we're just getting around to it now?
Democrats privately rage over "utterly selfish" Trump impeachment vote
Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar has filed impeachment articles against Donald Trump and forced a vote on the issue, to the fury of...his fellow Democrats? Axios is reporting that a slew of Democrats are furious at Thanedar, and some of them have a point. Some are irritated that it's taking attention away from the GOP's catastrophic budget bill that would kick eight million Americans off their healthcare. Some are mad that he included them as co-sponsors when they didn't actually say they wanted to be involved. And some accuse him of just grandstanding after the news broke that he has a primary opponent, Democratic state Rep. Donavan McKinney, who already has an endorsement from prominent squad member Rashida Tlaib. "This is the dumbest f*cking thing. Utterly selfish behavior," said one rep.
