The Speaker of the House had to tell the President of the United States that he can’t seek an unconstitutional third term. That should frighten everyone. Trump is telling us what he wants to do. We better listen & be prepared to stop him. If we don’t, we won’t have a country anymore.

Reminder that House Republicans have worked 14 days since July, passed 3 of 12 appropriations bills through the House, and shut down the government while they control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Republicans talk about their “clean” continuing resolution… It was “clean” before Trump ignored the law and obliterated programs that Congress authorized & appropriated money for. That’s what would “continue” under their CR.

You’re a hedge fund manager who rents farmland to soybean farmers. You’re profiting off their hard work while sipping champagne with billionaire elites & kissing Donald Trump’s boots. You haven’t earned the title of “farmer” you hack.
Trump Treasury Sec. Bessent says he's felt 'pain' from China because he's a 'soybean farmer'
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's estimated hundreds and millions of dollars in wealth includes soybean and corn farmland in North Dakota.

Trump: Our history is being erased! We have to replace the statues of racist confederate generals! Also Trump: *Tears down the entire East Wing of the White House with a bulldozer.* It’s not about history. It’s about hate.
DC’s only outdoor statue of a Confederate general is back in a Judiciary Square park - WTOP News
On Saturday, the National Park Service returned the statue of Brigadier General Albert Pike to its home after being in storage for over five years.

Make no mistake: Republicans would come back to DC in a nanosecond if ending the shutdown meant more tax breaks for billionaires, handouts to big banks, or giveaways to the insurance industry. But some of us want to help regular, working people. I guess that’s a bridge too far.
Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialOct 24(source)
Inflation is up 3% over the past year. Because of Trump’s tariffs, working people are struggling to pay for food, housing, & healthcare. But don’t worry, his “main priority” is building his Temu Versailles ballroom. He never was and never will be America First.
Rep. Jim McGovern@repmcgovern.bsky.socialOct 23(source)
Let’s review what Republicans have “accomplished” — Medicaid: ripping 150 million Americans off their health insurance. Healthcare access: closing hundreds of rural hospitals. Insurance premiums: exploding. About to double or worse. You’re a failure.
