They need to bring charges on MTG and get her out of office because Trump not the president!!!! She should not be listening to outside influences.. they need to do something about the Republican Party who's not willing to do their job..Trump is not office and should not any say so over they the Republican Party!!! Something got to

What happened to America first?
The lawmakers are supposed to come together to do what's best for the American people not listen to outside influences.

Always appreciate hearing from Jeffries.

Bankrupt the "brand" and lock the Insurrectionist-in-Chief up.

Hakeem! This must be so frustrating for talented politicians who actually want to serve America's citizens.

If willing to sabotage deals for the sake of re election what does this say about the candidate character. Selfish mememe

I like former leaders who do not try to hamstring our republic.

“In my 37 years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream, ” wrote (Conservative) Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the Federal District Court in Washington. “I have been dismayed to see distortions and outright falsehoods seep into the public consciousness.”

Dont people see that trump has no intention of helping no one but himself. Hes like a spoiled child trying to get his way....

[ollieox]

So, let me understand this: a significant section of a very powerful branch of government is taking its marching orders from a jumped-up used car salesman in Florida who holds no elected position. Is that right?
This is nuts.

[jeffmisch]

Since Liz was voted out, their is not a pair left in the party.😅😅😅

[leslietaylor]

Register early and vote every republican out of office everywhere. 🌊🇺🇲👍

[cherylbarrett]

Why do Senate Republicans have more moral courage than House Republicans when it comes to Trump's nutty orders?

The breeches in the razor wire border is a visual of the dangerous mess the Trumputians party is in. Thank you Mr. Jefferies and Democratic adults, and President Biden, and Senators who are working hard to deal with the autocratic bullies on the right. We are all immigrants unless we are Natives. Let’s not forget that. Republicans have lost their way.

The MAGA supporters holding out for a better immigration bill IF (a BIG if) TFG is elected need to be reminded about TFG's promise to repeal and replace the ACA (Obama care) with a better plan. How did that work out? Yeah, never happened. Both health care and immigration are hard issues and neither party will get EVERYTHING they want, it requires compromise to get anything done.

The Trump MAGA Tea Party has me baffled. They say one thing, "close the border and help Israel". They get a bill and they can have this if they sign it. Then they say No Biden can't look good, but they end up looking worse. When will they learn Trump's idea's aren't sound, he gets those close to him, in trouble.

[lostinfrance]

Citizen Trump "Citizen" being the key word here. He should not be allowed to meddle in anything right now and anyone that implements his demands needs to be held to account

[dianacastillo]

Yet!!! Knowing what his doing ..Those with The Power to Stop him..DON'T!!

[axeguy]

First we took his office, now we take his money. Finally, we take his FREEDOM!!

[Stinglikeabee]

The Biden administration was key to bringing democracy to Guatemala, can we build on that? This is also likely to decrease migration.
