Nebraska Republican Don Bacon has criticized President Trump’s consideration of acquiring Greenland, calling the idea “utter buffoonery.” This marks a significant shift, as Bacon suggests Trump’s actions could warrant impeachment, highlighting growing GOP discomfort with Trump’s foreign policy. Bacon, who previously resisted supporting impeachment, now indicates he would consider it if Trump pursued military action against Greenland. This stance, along with his cosponsorship of a bill limiting presidential war powers, signals potential bipartisan pushback and growing international concern over Trump’s rhetoric and potential actions regarding Greenland.

JD Vance is a piece of s—t. Plain and simple, that’s the core sentiment here. The consensus is overwhelming, painting a picture of a man who embodies the worst aspects of political opportunism and moral bankruptcy.
JD Vance is a piece of s—t because he seems to have made a career out of selling out. First, it was his own mother, and he allegedly lied about her to gain financial advantage. Then, he apparently turned around and sold out his country, employing deception for personal gain. And, let’s not forget the allegations of a relationship with the widow of someone whose job he was angling for.… Continue reading
Following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, several Republican officials prioritized defending the shooter and criticizing dissent. Representative Roger Williams of Texas urged citizens to cease demonstrations and become “civil,” suggesting that such actions provoked the incident. Similarly, Representative Wesley Hunt of Texas emphasized the importance of following federal officer instructions, while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem questioned the rationale behind disputing a president perceived as focused on safety. These statements reflect a broader trend within the party to suppress dissent and defend law enforcement.

For 80 years, Republicans have blocked us from fixing our health care system.
It’s astonishing, isn’t it? The sheer longevity of this struggle. Eighty years ago, the seeds of a national health system were sown, a vision of healthcare for all, paid for through payroll taxes. President Truman championed this idea, a system that would have covered everything, from doctor visits to hospital stays. But the Republican response? A resounding “no.” They decried it as “socialized medicine,” and aligned themselves with the American Medical Association, which had its own plan, one that preserved the dominance of private insurance. It’s a pattern that has sadly repeated itself throughout the decades.… Continue reading
Donald Trump faces a surge in Republican revolts, at least according to the headlines, but the reality is more nuanced than that. The initial impression might be a widespread rebellion against his policies or leadership. However, a deeper look reveals a more complex dynamic, primarily driven by political maneuvering and self-preservation. Many Republicans aren’t necessarily revolting against Trump himself, but rather positioning themselves strategically for future political cycles. They are calculating how to maintain influence and appeal to a broader electorate, especially as the political landscape shifts.
It’s tempting to interpret every instance of disagreement or distancing as a full-blown revolt.… Continue reading

Following Senator Susan Collins’ vote against a key presidential priority, sources reported that President Donald Trump delivered an expletive-laden phone call to the Republican senator.

In response to the vote, Trump also publicly condemned Collins and other Republican senators who voted similarly. This latest interaction underscores the president’s ongoing disapproval of Collins, especially as she faces a challenging reelection campaign.

Following a Senate vote advancing a War Powers Resolution to limit presidential authority regarding Venezuela, former President Donald Trump criticized the Republican senators who voted with the Democrats, specifically naming Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young. The resolution, which signals disapproval of potential military action, is unlikely to become law due to needing approval from the Republican-controlled House and Trump’s signature. The senators who voted in favor of the resolution justified their support by citing concerns about potential long-term military involvement and the need for congressional authorization for future deployments.

In a surprising turn of events, nine Republican House members defied their party leaders and supported a Democrat-led healthcare bill to extend expired Obamacare subsidies. This move, a blow to Speaker Mike Johnson, was fueled by frustration from GOP moderates concerned about rising insurance premiums. Four Republicans had previously signed a discharge petition to force a vote, joining five others in Wednesday’s advancement. While the bill is likely to pass the House, its fate in the Republican-controlled Senate remains uncertain, as a similar measure failed to garner enough votes in December.
