BREAKING: AMEN! Republican Rep. Thomas Massie exposes his own party for "violating the Constitution" while reeling off their monumental failures under Trump.
MAGA is screeching for him to shut up now...
"I think it's ironic that we control the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling election fraud," said Massie. "I mean, we won all the damn elections, and we're in charge, and what are we doing with it?"
"We're bankrupting the country," he observed.
Massie is right. Conservatives love to opine about "fiscal responsibility" but every time that they take control of the White House they skyrocket the national debt by handing out plutocratic tax cuts to the super-rich and pumping more wasteful spending into the bloated military-industrial complex. Trump has added a jaw-dropping $2.25 trillion to the national debt in just the first year of his second term.
"We're starting new wars," Massie continued.
Again, no arguing there. Trump launched an illegal war of aggression against Iran because Israel asked him to. No American interests were at stake but now American soldiers are dead and the price of groceries and gas are through the roof. If this new deal takes hold, Iran will emerge from the conflict stronger than ever with a $300 billion payday, unfrozen funds, sanctions relief, and direct control over the Strait of Hormuz.
"We're violating the Constitution. We're not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections," Massie continued. "We won the damn elections!"
Here he gets at one of the central flaws in Trump's "rigged election" narrative. It requires one to believe that Democrats somehow fixed the 2020 election to hand the White House to Joe Biden but were unable to repeat their trickery to defeat Trump in 2024. It's utterly nonsensical at face value.
"The problem is we're wasting our opportunity that the voters gave us, and the Republicans are going to pay for that in November. It'll be an absolute shellacking if they don't wake up," concluded Massie.
He's correct. A blue wave is indeed coming. Americans are sick and tired of watching the Epstein Class loot our once-proud country. Trump is a demented, pedophiliac war criminal but his entire party is too scared to speak out. Massie is free to finally tell the truth because he lost his reelection bid to a Trump-endorsed lunatic. We just wish he had done it sooner.

BREAKING: WEAPONIZATION! A false child-abuse report against Pete Buttigieg just crossed EVERY LINE in American politics. In one of the most disturbing acts of political cruelty imaginable, someone filed a false child-abuse allegation against Pete Buttigieg — forcing his FOUR-YEAR-OLD children to be subjected to forensic interviews in a deliberate, politically-motivated hoax, and proving that the MAGA cruelty machine has no bottom.
In a gut-wrenching Substack post, the former Transportation Secretary described the nightmare his family endured. His in-laws had to explain to his young children — kids they'd taught to never talk to strangers — that they would each have to sit alone, "for nearly an hour each, in a place they'd never been, with adults they did not know, who would ask questions we weren't allowed to know either."
For 24 agonizing hours, the family had NO idea what Buttigieg was even accused of.
"We could not understand someone abusing the system like this in order to hurt me and my family with an absurd and easily refuted allegation of a horrific crime," he wrote.
Buttigieg was careful — and gracious — to make clear the officer, the CPS professional, and the forensic interviewers were simply doing their difficult, admirable jobs protecting vulnerable children. The villain here is whoever weaponized that system as a political weapon, wasting resources meant to protect kids from real harm.
And the timing speaks volumes. "It's not lost on me that this happened soon after we shared photos of our family on social media for Father's Day," Buttigieg wrote. "Or that this occurred during a month meant to make families like ours feel welcome and safe" — a clear reference to Pride Month and the targeting of his family for being led by two dads.
His anguish as a father is impossible to read without feeling it: "They are four years old. Four. They do not know or care what a Democrat or a Republican is. They should be worrying about what kind of ice cream they're getting this afternoon."
Filing a false report like this is a CRIME, and Buttigieg vowed to pursue charges if possible — "to draw a line that I thought everyone already recognized: do not mess with someone's kids."
Whatever your politics: leave children out of it. Period.
BREAKING: EPSTEIN CASE ROARS BACK! Billionaire Leon Black stonewalls Congress then walks out as James Comer plays “tough guy” over NDAs!
Billionaire Leon Black who paid Jeffrey Epstein a staggering $170 million for tax and estate planning services, refused to answer questions about secret non-disclosure agreements he signed with women who accused him of sexual abuse connected to Epstein.
House Oversight Chairman Comer issued a subpoena on the spot demanding the NDAs and ordered Black to return for another deposition, and Black simply got up and walked out of the interview.
His attorney called the subpoena a “political stunt” and insisted Black “never abused a woman.”
Lest we forget, Black was forced to step down from his company in 2021 over his Epstein connection, and has been accused by multiple women of sexual abuse linked to Epstein (which he denies).
Black allegedly signed non-disclosure agreements (hush-money deals) with several of the women, who were part of Epstein’s stable, who claimed he sexually abused or exploited them in situations connected to the late pedophile.
The NDAs were meant to keep them silent about their allegations against Black in exchange for big money. Comer’s committee wants to know whether Epstein was in any way involved in these NDAs, or payments to the women.
But the real story here is that Comer, one of Donald Trump’s most loyal congressional attack dogs, gets to take credit for finally being “tough on Epstein” by chasing down someone who is NOT closely connected to Trump.
Despite the big show by Comer, we shouldn’t expect this investigation to ever get anywhere near Trump himself or his closest cronies.
It’s really a classic Washington con of selective outrage from Comer that appears to hold the powerful accountable while "digging into" the Epstein case, when in reality he is still protecting Trump and his close associates from scrutiny in the case.
The rich and powerful are once again circling the wagons to shield their secrets, and Comer is happy to play along … until the investigation gets too close to Trump.
BREAKING: Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon hit with HISTORIC first-ever impeachment for illegally dismantling the department she runs
Linda McMahon — the former pro-wrestling executive Trump installed to run the Department of Education — is now facing the first impeachment of an Education Secretary in American history. And the reason is simple: she's accused of breaking federal law to destroy her own department.
Oregon Democrat Suzanne Bonamici introduced articles of impeachment Thursday, accusing McMahon of "illegally transferring the operations of 6 offices under the Department of Education to other Federal agencies."
Here's the core of it. The Department of Education was created by Congress in 1980. By law, only CONGRESS can shut it down. But McMahon — carrying out Trump's campaign promise to dismantle it — has been gutting the department piece by piece anyway, using backdoor "interagency agreements" to shove its programs over to Health and Human Services and the Labor Department.
The problem? Many of those programs are LEGALLY REQUIRED to stay within the Education Department. McMahon doesn't have the authority to move them. She's doing it anyway.
"McMahon has made it her mission to close down the Department of Education, something she does not have the right to do," Bonamici said on the House floor. And she made clear exactly who gets hurt: "Educators and parents, especially parents of students with DISABILITIES, are distraught and asking us to take action to stop these illegal transfers."
That's the cruelty at the heart of this. The Education Department administers critical protections and funding for students with disabilities — kids who depend on federal oversight to get the education they're legally entitled to. McMahon is throwing that into chaos.
McMahon's response was pure deflection, whining on X that Democrats think "an impeachable offense is working to improve student outcomes" before pivoting to her favorite culture-war obsession — attacking trans students, a focus of hers since day one.
The impeachment is unlikely to succeed in the GOP-controlled House. But it draws a crucial line: a Cabinet official cannot simply IGNORE the law and unilaterally dismantle a department Congress created.
A wrestling executive shouldn't get to bulldoze public education.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania HUMILIATES Trump by refusing to take part in his ludicrous and wasteful “Great American State Fair” with a scathing announcement.
Every single blue state needs to do this...
“Unfortunately, due to the high cost to taxpayers and not being able to secure PA businesses to sponsor the booth, Pennsylvania will not be a participant in the Great American State Fair,” stated a spokesperson for PA's Department of Community and Economic Development.
While the 16-day taxpayer-funded bonanza is ostensibly designed to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, it's painfully obvious that the entire affair is just another pathetic attempt to flatter Trump's ego. Freedom 250, the group organizing the event on behalf of the President, has insisted that it's "nonpartisan" with a "track record of collaboration."
But Trump himself has already let the cat out of the bag.
He launched the fair with one of his characteristically divisive speeches on the National Mall and plans on holding a full-blown MAGA rally on July 4th at the Lincoln Memorial before the fireworks show. If you think for a moment that that speech will be anything other than a semi-coherent rant torching Democrats and touting his imagined achievements, you haven't been paying attention. This man is pathologically incapable of uniting this country.
“This President routinely makes patriotism partisan and personal—and it shouldn’t be that way,” said Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro.
“It reflects this sad state of affairs that we find ourselves in — that the President has politicized this to a degree that businesses don’t want to participate,” he said.
Pennsylvania joins seven other Democratically-led states that will not be participating in this farce of an event. The others are Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, and Washington.
We commend these states for standing up to the White House. Americans can't afford groceries and Trump wants to burn through more of our tax dollars on yet another pointless, bloated tribute to his failed presidency. Enough is enough.

BREAKING: GET HIM! Congressman Jamie Raskin DISMANTLES Mike Johnson after he whined that Democrats will investigate Republican corruption if we win the midterms.
The MAGA Speaker walked face-first into this one...
"If we were to lose the midterms, heaven forbid, these Democrats, y'all impeachment's not even the big concern," said Johnson. "They will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the President's family, the Cabinet, his donors and friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. I’ll take care of you."
Oh, the horror! Imagine if Congress actually exercised its oversight powers to rein in the most lawless President in American history as he loots the treasury, lines his pockets from crypto scams, starts foreign wars on behalf of Israel, and covers up his own involvement in Jeffrey Epstein's massive child sex trafficking ring.
Raskin saw the jaw-dropping Johnson clip and quickly pounced—
"1. Speaker Johnson, you’re obsessing about losing the House but don’t seem to realize it’s because you have no program for the country other than illegal disastrous tariffs, illegal disastrous war and humiliating invertebrate submission to your unraveling cult master," wrote Raskin.
"2. You’re projecting onto us your own comically failed and obsessive investigations into President Biden, the Southern Poverty Law Center, James Comey, George Soros, etc."
"3. We obviously must confront the debilitating corruption and authoritarianism you have enabled, but at the same time we’re going to move America forward on all the public goods you have thwarted, like the health care of the people, increasing the minimum wage and protecting our environment."
"4. I agree that you 'run the protection program' and 'take care' of all MAGA violators!"
That last point is worth paying attention to. Johnson sounds exactly like a mafia don in a low budget gangster flick, which is presumably a habit he picked up from his cult leader Donald. The Republican Party is now indistinguishable from a criminal organization. They violate the Constitution daily while turning a blind eye to Trump's endless parade of lawbreaking.
Johnson's speech has become an accidental campaign ad for Democrats. If you care about upholding the law and restoring our democracy, you have to vote blue.
What do you want Democrats to prioritize when we retake power? Sound off!

BREAKING: Hegseth STRIPS military chaplains of their rank while pushing his hardline religious agenda.
Pete Hegseth has decided that military chaplains aren't "warfighters" enough — so he's stripping the rank insignia off their uniforms. There's just one problem: military chaplains have spent over a century proving their valor in combat with their blood.
The U.S. Army this week gave its chaplains 90 days to remove their rank from combat uniforms, implementing Hegseth's directive that a chaplain "is first and foremost a chaplain and an officer second."
But as one viral social media post pointed out, the historical record OBLITERATES Hegseth's premise. Since World War I, U.S. military chaplains have earned 5 MEDALS OF HONOR, 26 Distinguished Service Crosses, 1 Navy Cross, 45 Silver Stars, and 719 Bronze Stars for valor.
These are men who ran INTO gunfire — unarmed — to drag wounded soldiers to safety, administer last rites under shelling, and comfort the dying on battlefields from the Argonne to Iraq. To suggest they need their rank stripped because they're not warriors enough is an insult to every chaplain who gave his life for the troops he served.
So, what's REALLY going on here? This is part of Hegseth's relentless campaign to inject hardline Christian nationalism into the U.S. military. He eliminated the Army's spiritual fitness guide, slashed recognized faith codes from over 200 down to just 31, and complained that past administrations infected the Chaplain Corps with "secular humanism."
And consider the company Hegseth keeps. He's the Trump administration's most prominent member of pastor Doug Wilson's church — which preaches that homosexuality should be a CRIME, that women should submit to their husbands, that the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote should be REPEALED, and that Southern Christians who owned slaves were "on firm scriptural ground." Hegseth even invited Wilson to deliver a sermon at his monthly Pentagon prayer service.
THIS is the man deciding what "big-T truth" America's warfighters need.
Chaplains have bled for this country for 250 years. They don't need Pete Hegseth questioning their courage.
BREAKING: Dementia Don thinks new commemorative U.S. passports with his face on it will be issued to foreigners – and the internet had no mercy! Donald Trump just revealed what he calls the new “U.S.A.’s New Passport,” and inadvertently gave us an update on the state of his gray matter upstairs.
In a Truth Social post, Trump proudly showed off the commemorative America250 design, complete with his own portrait and the message:
“Welcome, but be good!”
That leaves just the small problem: U.S. passports are issued to American citizens so they can leave the country. They are not visas given to foreigners, nor do they “welcome” anyone.
The internet immediately roasted him with comments like: “Who does the moron think gets passports?” and “Even Kim Jong Un thinks this is a bit much.” Others pointed out things like “This country was founded to reject kings, not manufacture one.”
Only 40,000 of these special passports will be made, and they’ll become the default version for people applying in person in Washington starting next month.
At 80 years old, Trump simply cannot stop embarrassing himself publicly. In this case, the man genuinely seems to think a U.S. passport is some kind of personal welcome mat with his scowling face on it.
If Trump’s latest brain glitch on something as basic as passports has you laughing, like and share. The man is running the country like it’s his personal branding exercise.
This man just can’t get out of his own way, lol. Seriously, 25th Amendment now.
BREAKING: “If you don’t want to be prosecuted, don’t do crimes!” Rep. AOC HAMMERS Mike Johnson for running a protection racket for Trump and his crooked Republican cronies and panicking at the thought of Democrats taking back Congress! We need to make him pay…
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez joined Jen Psaki on her show to discuss a slew of topics, including Speaker Johnson’s warning that if they lose the House, Democrats will be going after “each and every one of you.”
Cortez responded by saying “Mike Johnson paints this as though it's some partisan witch hunt, but if you don't want to be prosecuted for crimes, don't do crimes. And he's talking about running a protection racket."
“And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history in the cover-up of the Epstein files.”
“They violated the law when Congress mandated that they release the Epstein files. They're still hiding Epstein files, protecting some of the most gruesome behavior that is shocking to the human conscience.”
“And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, ‘I'm the only thing standing between you and a consequence,’ that should rattle at the conscience of every American.”
“What he wants to do is create, and rather not even create because it's already been created, but protect a class of impunity in America that says you can commit whatever crime and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”
She’s absolutely right. Trump and Mike Johnson’s Republicans have entrenched a two-tiered justice system where you can get 30 years in prison for moving a box of leftist magazines and get off scot-free for raping children.
If we want this to ever change, taking back control of Congress has got to be our TOP priority.
BREAKING: Pope Leo is REWRITING the Catholic Church’s “Just War” doctrine after JD Vance told him he’s “got to be careful” when he “opines on theology”! Pope Leo XIV is the Vicar of Christ on Earth. J.D. Vance has been a convert to the Catholic Church for all of seven years.
Yet still he had the cheek to write recently: “If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth.”
Now the pope, Vance’s fellow American, has had just about enough.
He just convened a secret meeting with the world’s cardinals to discuss a major overhaul of the centuries-old “just war” in the age of drones, cyber attacks, and nuclear weapons – and loudmouth whippersnappers like JD Vance.
A self-described “baby Catholic,” Vance nonetheless had the gall to lecture the Pope, who holds a PhD in Canon Law, to be careful he knows what he’s talking about and speaks the “truth.”
Of course, we don’t know how the Pontiff really feels about all this. He is presumably a man of forgiveness. But he has every right to be furious.
In any case, he’s putting his money where his mouth is, and seeking consensus with his cardinals on enshrining his 21st century sentiment that “Disciples of Christ are never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs” as official church doctrine.
If we were JD Vance, we would be a lot more respectful to Pope Leo, is the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics, of which he is but one.
BREAKING: “THAT SH*T HAS TO STOP!” Vance dodges Bill Maher’s simple question about accepting election results and blames “big tech” censorship! As couch-loving Vice President JD Vance stopped by Bill Maher’s show to plug his new book, the host asked JD Vance a most basic question: Will Republicans stop claiming that every election they lose is somehow rigged?
Vance’s answer must be the greasiest and disingenuous piece of deflection we’re ever heard.
Maher: “Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes in an election: either we win or they cheated,” Maher said. “That shit has to stop… And the person that has to stop it would be you … Can you tell me you will do that?”
His answer started with “Set aside the stuff that makes you and your audience very angry,” as if that wasn’t what is important about what Maher was saying.
It reminded us of the father of the bride in Monty Python and the Holy Grail standing amid a scene of carnage at the wedding pleading “Let’s not bicker and argue about who killed who.”
Then Vance started spinning this crap:
“I don’t think that we should not concede elections," he smirked. “But I don’t think that’s what’s going on.”
For Pete’s sake, JD, that is exactly what was going on – specifically what Maher is asking you about.
His lips then went straight for Trump’s oversized backside when he pivoted to complaining about the real way the 2020 election was “rigged” was through Big Tech “censorship.”
In this way, he could say the words “the 2020 election was rigged” for the boss’s dimwitted ears, while completely evading the main point that under Trump, when Republicans lose in any context, he and his flunkies cry foul.
As Maher listened, shaking his head saying “no” here and there. When it was over, he was too disgusted to go further and joked “Well, you’re going to get a big pat on the back when you get back to the White House."
In many ways, Vance is MAGA at its absolute worst. Able to still sound reasonable while defending the indefensible. He couldn’t bring himself to say the Republicans will accept the results of an election they might lose.
He is still defending the Big Lie, the political doctrine that propelled some of the most evil governments the world has ever seen.
It’s astonishing that such a human being is so close to the presidency, and actually has a shot to BE president after Trump mercifully gets sent out to pasture.
That in and of itself is a call to arms for all Democrats to take back this country at the ballot box, starting in November.
BREAKING: WWII Purple Heart veteran SLAMS “Fascist” Trump’s detention camps at rally that helped close “Alligator Alcatraz” for good! A combat veteran who fought actual fascists in World War II just delivered a powerful message against Trump’s mass detention policies.
Robert Hilliard, who turns 101 next week, spoke outside Alligator Alcatraz during a protest by environmental groups and immigration advocates calling for accountability for the environmental harm caused by the facility after the governor announced it was shutting down.
“Next week I’ll be 101 years old,” the local veteran said. “In February 1944 when I was 18 years old I was inducted into the army and what they taught me to do there was to kill people who set up detention camps.
Can you imagine how I felt earlier this year when they announced that one of the future detention camps would be at that same camp landing in Florida?
We have a fascist, a fascist government, that allows innocent people to be put in detention camps and incarcerated.”
His words came as part of protests against the facility, which is now closing after less than a year amid massive public backlash, lawsuits, and reports of inhumane conditions.
One among the few men still around who actually fought in World War II is warning us about what’s happening in America today. He’s seen firsthand what fascism leads to, and he’s having none of it.
If old Mr. Hilliard’s moral clarity against Trump’s detention camps moves you, like and share this post.
We cannot let history repeat itself. We must call for accountability.
