Does that mean it passed by unanimous consent, or did McConnell show up unnoticed in one of his two shirts to vote in person?

Subpoenaing phone records wouldn’t violate the HIPA protections that Republicans are hiding behind.

If Trump’s law firm—DOJ—is willing to release enough to place Putin at the controls of all these tentacles of abuse, what would be revealed in the unreleased 50%? or 90%? Hope it isn’t entirely filled with snuff films and graphic abuse that Todd Blanche said they were withholding.

No reason to gloat: the $40 million to Melania was bribe delivery system in plain sight. No expectation of recouping its “investment” on the movie, but Paramount got Trump support behind mergers.

Forcing 300,000 workers out of their jobs created chaos for struggling families and jeopardized the services we rely on. And there's no evidence whatsoever that all these workers are now cashing in. The DOGE/Project 2025 cuts have been devastating for America's workers.

Why shit on a great Leiber and Stoller song just because Trump misunderstood it? He must think it’s quoting the selfish kid in the cartoon after he has finished opening his 50th present. Just because Trump pretends to support Iranians opposing the regime doesn’t mean we start backing the mullahs.

To be fair, you do prosecute presidents of other countries, but for the right price will also pardon them.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

In a January vote, the votes of Reps. Sherrill and Spanberger will have been subtracted after they have taken state office: will the discharge petition still be required?

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Or 3. He broke with over 3/4 of the Minority Caucus. Regardless of his reason, he needs to submit his resignation (as does Dick Durbin, the Democratic Whip).
