#GOP *lawmakers* have unleashed an unprecedented flood of long-shot #impeachment articles aimed at federal judges who are standing in the way of #Trump's agenda.
James #Boasberg, chief judge of the DC District Court, is at least the fifth federal judge who is facing a #HouseRepublicans impeachment attempt after issuing a ruling unfavorable to the admin.
Just hours after #Trump called for the #impeachment of a federal judge who ruled against his #deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans over the weekend, & after Trump's comments targeting Judge #Boasburg spurred a rare public rebuke from #SCOTUS Chief Justice #JohnRoberts, #HouseRepublicans led by Rep #BrandonGill introduced articles of impeachment against Boasberg.

In an attempt to avoid a #GovernmentShutdown at the end of next week, #Trump & #House Speaker #MikeJohnson are pitching a #stopgap bill that would keep federal dollars flowing through Sept 30. Trump & Johnson are embracing it as a way to avoid a politically damaging shutdown fight among #Republicans while still giving Trump wide latitude to slash spending on his own in defiance of #Congress & the #law.

…#Republicans have already signaled that cities with policies like #Boston’s may lose federal #funding if they don’t change their approach.
“I don’t get to decide who comes into our country, & where they go after that,” Wu responded. “Our job is to keep people fed, & healthy, & safe when they arrive in our city. And we do that in order to make sure that everyone across our community is safe.”

This is absolutely outrageous. During a hearing on #SanctuaryCities today, Republican #JamesComer of #Kentucky refuses to let Democrat Congresswoman #AyannaPressley of #Massachusetts to enter into the record an article correctly reporting that US citizens commit #crimes far in excess of crimes committed by #immigrants. He refuses to even allow her to enter the title of the article. This is #censorship. This is #oppression. This is #WhiteMaleSupremacy. F*** Comer & f*** #HouseRepublicans.

The #House has passed the #Trump #budget blueprint 217 to 215.
1 Republican voted no Rep Thomas Massie of KY.
That said, this will not pass a vote in the #Senate, so it’s really just a waste of time by your State’s #taxpayer paid #Republican Representatives.
Included in this are cuts to #Medicaid & the earlier mentioned #slaughter of #WildHorses, among many other equally distasteful items.
#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries (D-NY) on #Budget Resolution: "Let me be clear, House #Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget. Not one... They will not get a single Democratic vote. why? Because we are voting with the American people.”
#HouseRepublicans Float #Medicaid Cuts & More to Finance #Trump’s Huge Agenda
Trump wants a massive tax cut & #immigration crackdown bill. Now #Republicans must decide what to cut to help pay for it.

#House votes to ban #transgender students from girls’ sports
The new House made transgender students in sports one of their first priorities for 2025. The bill’s path in the #Senate is unclear.

Is anyone else not liking that there is clearly a shadow government operating on full display and no one is blowing the whistle?
The rebuke, which built steadily through the day & culminated w/a long written *statement* from #Trump in the late afternoon, has forced #MikeJohnson back to the drawing board on a plan to prevent a Christmastime #GovernmentShutdown — & maintain the support of his chaotic conference to be reelected as #speaker early next year [].
#Republicans reject spending bill, under pressure from #Trump & #ElonMusk
Unless #Congress acts, a #GovernmentShutdown deadline looms just past midnight Saturday.
Republicans rejected #House Speaker #MikeJohnson’s bipartisan plan to avert a govt shutdown, as Trump & #Musk joined a broad swath of the #HouseRepublicans on Wed to condemn a compromise bill full of Democratic #policy priorities.

The report — released as #Trump …has been promising #retribution against his political enemies, including #LizCheney — accused Cheney of using the select cmte as a tool to attack Trump. It was spearheaded by Rep #BarryLoudermilk of GA, the chair of the oversight subcmte [who, not incidentally, was photographed on Jan 5, 2021, giving a tour of the Capitol bldg to several #MAGA insurgents who participated in the #Jan6 #insurrection].

A 128-pg report [#propaganda] from the #House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight said #LizCheney should be investigated for witness tampering. It accuses her of colluding w/ #CassidyHutchinson, the fmr White House aide who became the cmte’s star witness as it examined #Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
In another revoltingly hypocritical move, #HouseRepublicans say #LizCheney should be criminally investigated, for investigating #Trump’s #Jan6 #coup attempt.
House Republicans on Tuesday said their one-time colleague, fmr Rep Liz Cheney of Wyoming, should face a #criminal investigation for her role on the select cmte that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Mike Walz's "upcoming resignation means that #HouseRepublicans, who were already slated to have a razor-tight majority, will be at least two members down when Trump takes office until at least April 1 — the date set for the special election to replace both Waltz and former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)"
