Trump’s White House lawyer warned Congress that investigating Trump “may cross the line into blatant criminality.” Nearly 300 of you answered in the first day of our new letter. Let’s keep it going. Each letter takes 30 seconds and goes straight to your members of Congress.
Berman winning Rock County by almost 19 points is a perfect example of what happened on November 3. Steil had three times the money and still lost his hometown.
I've lived in Steil's District 1 for his entire tenure in Congress, and I assure you that he votes 100 % with Trump, not for the citizens of District 1. Wisconsin's failed gubernatorial
candidate and former congressman Tom Tiffany also voted 100% with Trump and is now gone. How could anyone who votes 100% with the mob boss call himself a decent person? Both of these suckups
accepted millions in campaign funds from three billionaires with Wisconsin tie who operate huge Wisconsin-based corporations: Linda Hendricks(ABC Corp. Beloit, WI) and Dick and Liz Uilhein (Uline Container Corp, Racine, WI),
all big Trump donors. Name names. Boycott them. Been no good to know ya plunderers of working class assets!!!
The “we write the letter, you send it” setup is what makes it stick. It’s not abstract. It’s your name on a letter to your own member before the 49 days run out.
That's right Ms Jonington! I occasionally get letters in reply. Scott's letters are gold! And certainly worth a subscription. I know they have put me in touch with my people in Congress. What could be more important for the years ahead!?! :-)
Hi, Jsnetts, yes the replies I get are usually weeks later, too. I should have said that. But there is a reply to my concerns along with their form letter. Probably sent by staff. But, that is to be expected with the volume they receive. That staff, keeps a tally of the issues and concerns, which is probably most important.
That does not make me feel any better-LOL. In fact now I feel as though I am getting on a roller coaster to hell ( I am a big heights chicken and hate roller coasters)
Schumer and Jeffries had better step up. Frankly, I am in the "remove them" camp. Given the failed vote to impeach Hegseth and 11 Dems not bothering to show up (sorry, traffic isn't an excuse), tells me that Jeffries failed his first test. Also don't like the fact that He met with Kushner before the election. No, no more old school politics, taking corporate PAC money and telling those grass roots campaigners to sit down and wait their turn. As far as I'm concerned, they have proven they have what it takes to bring affordability through accountability and aren't willing to Merrick Garland slow walk holding trump and his cronies responsible and more likely to clean up the corruption than those taking money from the very same corporations that got us here.
Living in DC so long, traffic really isn't an excuse. Maybe if you're late to a bar. But not to a vote. But I do like how Dems can now have a real trial, when Republicans would've buried it.
Adam Kinzinger on what happened with the veterans bill last week…
“It passed by voice vote, which is meant for bills with overwhelming support like renaming post offices. Contentious bills like this one almost always require a recorded vote, where every member has to go on the record with a yes or a no. And they either pass by a handful of votes or they don’t pass at all. But it certainly shouldn’t pass by voice.
This was a dirty move by Republicans. Democrats say they were handed some last-minute paperwork to look over, and while their heads were down, Republicans called the bill up and passed it in seconds.
That’s a rotten thing to do on any day, and they did it on Veterans Day. Just despicable.
But this could have been avoided. Democrats knew that GOP leadership was sweating this vote. Somebody from the minority is always supposed to be standing at the microphone, ready to demand a recorded vote. That’s the whole job of the minority. And on Wednesday, nobody was there.
Now, this one is less consequential than the Hegseth vote. The bill still has to make its way through the Senate, and that’s no sure thing. But that’s twice in two days that Democrats got embarrassed on the floor when they didn’t have to. They need to get it together.”
I called both Democratic Senators and Congressional Representative and asked them to vote for Van Hollen and Ms. Pressley. We need bold new leadership.
Thank you! First i want detention centers emptied with every Man, woman and child accounted for, and particularly want to know of the brutality and rapes, and those people punished severely.
I do think it’s time for new leadership. In the House and Senate. I remember these last two years constantly saying where are the Democrats to fight back. They did nothing. NOTHING. If we’d had some action it would have accounted for something. Remember Jeffries meeting with kushner.
What, the President’s Son-in-Law isn’t a government position described in the Constitution? I thought it was in there, alongside the right of the President of the United States to grift and steal from We The People! It’s not in the constitution?? Oh my!
I’m chuckling- wryly. Especially when I read the statements of GOP wannabe presidential candidates suddenly distancing themselves from Trump’s policies. I’m not forgetting.
Enough with obsession over AIPAc - it’s hardly the only PAC and it’s not even the most powerful one. Just stop - this is why I don’t listen to the far left.
Q1: What’s the first record you want Democrats to subpoena?
A1: There are so many to choose from, but the most important ones are the ones that directly impact human life. So, I would start with anything that has to do with the communications between DJT and Putin, Netanyahu, and Hegseth. Our support for Ukraine is not only critical to its survival, but more importantly critical to stopping Putin’s own world-domination aspirations. Stopping Musk’s interference is a crucial piece of that and subpoenaing him must be included in that effort. In addition to those high-priority items, the war in Iran, Venezuela, and the Gaza conflicts are near the top of the list. The Epstein files should be included on the list of priorities since, by all indications, they are the most easily available. Also high on the list are DJT’s vanity projects.
Q2: Is there a job you wish members of Congress had worked before becoming an elected official?
A2: Ideally, they should have some experience working in local government, involved in local politics, and/or some working knowledge of the law. Absent that, they of course must have a clean arrest record and go through an extensive background check and vetting process. Throughout my extensive working careers (over 60 years), I was a subcontractor for the military, volunteered for various organizations impacting the public, and held several jobs – almost all of which required background checks, drug testing, and even being finger-printed before I was brought onboard. The same requirements should be mandatory for anyone running for a position as an elected official or in a position of public trust.
Thanks Scott, regarding what job I wish every member of Congress had worked - Server staff at a Grammar School in a low-income school district. Just so they could look right in the eyes of those kids who rely on a subsidized meal….that’s all
You are in good company!The Dems had better focus on getting things done that matter, put distractions and in-fighting aside.Get their act together & focus on what you agree on! You have the power;.be ready to exercise it on what you have been elected to do.Remember, there are many ways to skin a cat. Don't let in-fighting be what the spotlight focuses on
Now immersed in KENNEDY CENTER MONEY SCANDAL excerpt:
MAGA Blood Feud Exposed in Kennedy Center Cash Scandal
Donald Trump has reportedly ordered the White House counsel to investigate allegations against his former director at the Kennedy Center.
According to a bombshell Axios report, Trump’s former attorney Alina Habba accused former Ambassador Ric Grenell of failing to deposit a multimillion-dollar donation her husband made to the center a year ago.
The report was based on four senior administration officials and three insiders briefed on the matter.
The allegations were reportedly relayed to the president in the Oval Office on Friday, with the donation valued at nearly $6 million, according to Habba, White House sources told Axios.

Thank you, Scott, always for calling out corporate greed!
Time to paraphrase the lyrics to CAN'T BUY ME LOVE, to pointedly address
the flaming waste of usable money as salve for cowards who know nothing
of how to be helpful, kind, strong, caring, and courageous.
Can't buy me votes?
Tell that to musk and trump! 😳
They should have received the message by now -- this past six months should be instructive unless they're complete blockheads.
How can ya not love THAT?!
BINGO!!!

I think I usually get letters in return sometimes weeks later. I don’t keep great track though.

Keep the faith…it’s gonna be 49 days of escalating crazy and stupidity. (Currently stuck in Arizona thanks to these idjits.)
Not sure how much of this escalating crazy and stupidity I can take. Travel safely—my heart goes out to everyone stranded!
Strap in…

You are 100% correct! Democrats have 250+ members. Someone needs to be assigned on a rotating basis next to that microphone!
I called both Democratic Senators and Congressional Representative and asked them to vote for Van Hollen and Ms. Pressley. We need bold new leadership.
Thank you! First i want detention centers emptied with every Man, woman and child accounted for, and particularly want to know of the brutality and rapes, and those people punished severely.

And Kushner doesn’t hold a government office- normalizing his status is just going along with the regime.
What, the President’s Son-in-Law isn’t a government position described in the Constitution? I thought it was in there, alongside the right of the President of the United States to grift and steal from We The People! It’s not in the constitution?? Oh my!
… I guess you learn something new every day. 🤔

Done,
Subpoena the Epstein files, including banking info and all the Rump vanity project discussions for starters!!

RICK GRENELL brought the TATE BROTHERS to FLORIDA.
Subpoena everything related to both Epstein and to Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein Files (And impeach Todd Blanche while you’re at it)
More Impeachments: Hegseth, Vought, Lutnick, Bessent, Duffy, MWMullin,
Remove Miller, Rubio, Kushner, Witkoff, Huckabee, - all the Cabinet members (& Vance but only if you can remove Mike Johnson first)
Then Impeach John Roberts and Clarence Thomas (that might have to wait till 2028)
Then … the list is long - I know I’m leaving important things out, but these are the ones that come to my mind first and can’t happen soon enough!
