I would greatly prefer a Republican Congress willing to check the president's excesses and bad ideas; failing that, we're likely to get a Democratic one, and will have ourselves to blame.

Hugo Chavez was no hero, he was directly responsible for the destruction of Venezuela. His legacy is just that, and the de-chavezification process will take years but it is essential that it succeed if the country is to have any chance at a healthy and lasting recovery.

Tonight Trump will deliver his “Hate of the Union” address likely filled with vitriol, contempt, intolerance, cruelty, lies, falsehoods, exaggerations, and yes—hatred—directed towards those he perceives as personal & political enemies.

Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself. He doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency. https://t.co/Cke9zoclHG

He calls the Justices who ruled against him ‘very unpatriotic’ and ‘fools.’

This is the acceptable presidential response to the Supreme Court’s tariffs opinion: “While I am disappointed in today’s decision, I respect the role of a co-equal branch of government and will abide by its ruling.”

Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States. In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, our Supreme Court has reaffirmed that the Constitution grants Congress -

Ron DeSantis was the hero during covid. Thousands moved to FL. Then Trump told you to hate him, so you did. Thomas Massie was respected and admired, and then Trump told you to hate him, and you did. Don't you see how gross you look to the rest of us? Most of you are zombies now.

Sadly, if Reagan made these remarks in front of Republicans today, he’d get booed off the stage.

I do not feel the need to respond to every inflammatory statement made by the White House. However, the release of racist images of former President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama is offensive, heart breaking, and unacceptable. President Trump should apologize.

We must support the Cuban people right now, who are in their darkest hour of the Castro dictatorship that has suffocated them for 70 years. I keep thinking of the record low temperatures in the island and how they are struggling with no electricity or basic needs. FREE CUBA!

'There's something wrong with him [@RepThomasMassie]. We call him @RandPaul Jr. They love voting NO.' Donald Trump at a...prayer breakfast, of all things. They keep voting no because the prez and other Republicans keep increasing size, scope, and spending of govt. Good for them.

Dear leftists, Cuba and Venezuela are not poor because of the United States. They are poor because of socialism.
