COMPLETE AND TOTAL REDISTRICTING FLOP BY TRUMP (WHO’S EPSTEIN’S BEST FRIEND AND WORSE PRESIDENT EVER)!!! INDIANA SENATE SHOWED TREMENDOUS COURAGE EVEN THE NORMALLY SPINELESS REPUBLICANS WHO I’M GLAD SOME FOUND THEIR SPINES. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
🚨Indiana Republicans ignore threats from the mob boss in the Oval Office, seat stealing proposal goes down 31-19…
As a former prosecutor, I know a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. The refusal of multiple grand juries to indict Letitia James, along with statements by the Administration, show DOJ abused its power. Next term Congress will investigate DOJ officials for abuse of power.
NEW: Justice Dept. fails in a third attempt to indict New York AG Letitia James.

Strongly support President Trump going on the road to every House district to talk about tariffs helping farmers, racial profiling by ICE, and Medicaid cuts that own the libs. Many people say that Congressman Valadao would love this.
Congratulations to Eileen Higgins for flipping the mayor’s seat in Miami! She will be the first woman in the city’s history and the first Democrat in nearly 30 years. We are soooo going to flip the House next year.
With her runoff victory tonight, Eileen Higgins will be Miami's next mayor—the first woman in the city’s history and the first Democrat in nearly 30 years elected to the office. Congrats, Mayor-elect!
Celebratory graphic of Eileen Higgins that reads, "Eileen Higgins Elected Mayor of Miami."

Grocery, electricity, and healthcare costs are all increasing. What is the Trump Administration focused on? Boat strikes in Venezuela that may not even be heading for the U.S. and are not clearly legal. Their priorities are all completely messed up.
I read the classified legal memo and disagree that military strikes on drug boats are legal (w/o congressional war authorization). But nothing in the memo would authorize strikes on boats not even headed for the U.S. That’s just straight up murder. DOJ must open investigation.
BREAKING: Boat blown up by U.S. military in Caribbean waters WAS NOT HEADED TO THE U.S.! The justification for killing these people was the claim they were bringing drugs to the U.S Not true! The military says they were going to a small country near Venezuela. www.cnn.com/2025/12/05/p...
Health care costs are skyrocketing, grocery prices continue to increase and electricity costs are surging. What is the Trump Administration focused on? Reducing free entrance days to our national parks, denigrating African Americans, and engaging in cult-like dear leader shit.
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Let’s be very, very clear: Striking shipwrecked survivors is a war crime. Straight up. We need the Department of Justice to open an investigation. If they don’t, a future Administration will.
As a former prosecutor, I know a grand jury would indict a ham sandwich. The grand jury’s refusal today to indict Letitia James shows this case should never have been brought. When we flip the House, we will investigate everyone involved for abuse of power.

Survivors of human trafficking deserve justice and compassion, not criminalization. Pleased that the House passed our bipartisan legislation to provide much-needed relief to trafficking survivors.
Picture of the Capitol with text in a box overlayed that reads, "House passes the bipartisan" with additional text highlighted in yellow that reads "Trafficking Survivors Relief Act." Additional text at the bottom in a black-filled box reads, "Led by Reps. Russell Fry, Ted Lieu, Ann Wagner, and Hank Johnson, this bill provides federal criminal record relief to survivors of human trafficking who committed non-violent offenses as a direct result of their exploitation."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve. He leaked classified information on Signal, potentially putting military pilots at risk. He then refused to cooperate with the IG. He lied about a war crime, and then threw Admiral Bradley under the bus. Hegseth must resign.
BREAKING NEWS: Pentagon IG says of Hegseth's use of Signal, "The information could have imperiled American troops." If Hegseth values our troops as much as he says he does, he should resign and allow someone more experienced to lead the Department of Defense.
Trump’s economy sucks. 32,000 jobs were lost in the private sector last month. The policies of Trump and rubber stamp Republicans are crushing the American people. And what is Trump focused on? Making his Great Gatsby ballroom even bigger. And sleeping at Cabinet meetings.
🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in Nov. That's the 4th negative number in past 6 months. The estimate was for +40,000, so the street was off ... this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs"
