Why winning the Senate matters: - Only it can remove a President from office - Only it can approve treaties - Only it approves cabinet Secretaries - Only it can approve military promotions - Only it can approve judges - Only it can remove Supreme Court justices - It must approve all legislation

More details about the illegal OMB "pocket rescission" that canceled programs the WH doesn't like by not spending Congressionally appropriated money. This is a violation of the Impoundment Control Act. Will Congress and the Courts allow OMB to break the law? www.highereddive.com/news/trump-t...

Here‘s your reminder that Speaker Mike Johnson sent the House home early so they wouldn’t have to vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment before the midterms. Republicans were terrified that they’d have to face voters and explain why they were covering for a racist, sexist, war-losing piece of crap.
