Lone GOP senator derails bill to prevent Kennedy Center demolition without congressional approval - The Washington Sun Who are these people. Have they caught Trump brain disease. They basically let Trump do whatever he wants even when if they know it was and should still be illegal.

28,700 trades for Trump. 19,400 for the whole House. 2,900 for the Senate. Per Bloomberg, one man out-traded all 535 lawmakers, and he's the one who sets tariffs. Somebody's on the other side of every bet he makes, and it's your 401(k). #TrumpsCorruptCongress #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Trump can't beat the judges or silence the press, so he plasters his name and face on everything. Ruth Ben-Ghiat sees it for what it is. Your November vote is the check he can't fake, and if you sit out, nobody else is stopping him. #TrumpsCorruptCongress
