Kamala Harris Warns Democrats Against Another Trump Impeachment if They Win House in Midterm Elections

Yahoo.com:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris warned the Democrats against pursuing another impeachment of President Donald Trump if they regain control of the House in the midterm elections next week. 

 

Harris made the comments Tuesday during an interview with MeidasTouch host Aaron Parnas, arguing impeachment would consume resources Democrats could use for oversight and investigations. 

 

"I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea, just to be honest with you, just because we have limited resources," she said. The former VP added that the focus should instead be on accountability and investigations, adding that time and resources should be directed toward those efforts.

Well it doesn't take a genius to know that if the Democrats do take back the House and choose to impeach Trump for a 3rd time, that they wouldn't have the votes in the Senate to get rid of Trump. And a vain attempt to impeach Trump just so please the idiot TDS-sufferers of the world is beyond stupid. But leave it to Democrats, who care nothing about common sense or even working with Trump say they do win back the House, to probably try anyway.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Will Run in Majority-Black District in South Florida

Politico.com:

Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has announced she is shifting her reelection campaign to a neighboring district with a longstanding history of being led by a Black representative — a move that immediately sparked a backlash from rivals seeking the seat and other Black elected officials. 

 

The announcement of her run in Florida’s 20th District, in deep-blue Broward County, follows state Republicans’ rare mid-decade redistricting, which made the district Wasserman Schultz lives in more competitive for a Republican. It comes just days before qualifying is scheduled to start for the 2026 elections. 

 

“You have always been able to count on me to deliver results for our community,” Wasserman Schultz said in a video announcement in which she touted her “seniority and clout” to help address affordability issues. The video also included interviews with Democratic elected officials and activists in the district who back her candidacy. The district Wasserman Schultz is seeking to represent was previously held by Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned from her seat in April following ethics and legal deliberations over allegations she denies that she stole federal emergency funds and routed them to her campaign.

So the same Democrat party that remain highly upset that the Virginia Supreme Court recently against their corrosive redistricting plan to help Democrats win up to four more US House seats and had no issue for 12-plus years in Tennessee with a white dude (Rep. Steve Cohen) re[resenting a majority black district, are now upset with Schultz for daring to run in a majority-black district in a different state. Talk about hypocrisy. Then too, what could also be garnering Democrats ire about Schultz is that Wasserman Schultz is jumping into race for Florida's D-20 seat vacated by Cherfilus-McCormick, yunno, the black Congresswoman who recently had to resign from the House over ethic and fraud violations. So that being said, with Democrats being such hypocrites when it comes to voting rights, race and resdistricting, I hope Schultz wins.

Florida Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick Resigns From Congress Amid Corruption Investigation

Mediaite.com:

Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) quit Congress on Tuesday, coinciding with a House Ethics panel that was weighing sanctions against the lawmaker after she was found guilty last month on 25 out of 27 ethics violations related to embezzling millions. 

 

“This was not a fair process,” Cherfilus-McCormick complained in her resignation notice. 

 

“The Ethics Committee refused my new attorney’s reasonable request for time to prepare my defense. By going forward with this process while a criminal indictment is pending, the Committee prevented me from defending myself.”

'This was not a fair process' SHE says after a House investigation that took more than two years to complete--more than enough time to get her defense in order and fight the charges. But now after she was found guilty of violating more than 20 House ethics rules and still facing federal charges for allegedly stealing millions of dollars in FEMA money, Cherfilus-McCormick has no choice but to resign in disgrace which saves her from the embarassment of being expelled Congress. One shining light for Cherfilus-McCormick tho: she'd be receiving a lot more scrutiny and attention from the msm for this scandal if she was a Republican and that's just s fact.

Former Staffer Says Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, Candidate for California Governor, Sexually Assaulted Her

Politico.com:

Rep. Eric Swalwell’s campaign for governor was reeling Friday after an ex-staffer accused him of sexual assault, with multiple staffers resigning and both a prominent ally and rival candidates calling on the California Democrat to exit the race. 

The exodus, which began just before the San Francisco Chronicle published a report detailing a former staffer’s claims, jolted California’s marquee race just weeks before ballots start landing in voters’ mailboxes. The former staffer told the newspaper that Swalwell had sexual encounters with her while working for him, and that he sexually assaulted her twice when she was too drunk to consent.

Top staffers departed the campaign shortly before the story published. Soon after, Rep. Jimmy Gomez said in a statement that he was stepping down from the campaign and urged Swalwell to leave the race — a stunning rebuke from a key surrogate who had helped introduce Swalwell to power players in Sacramento, where Gomez served in the state Assembly.

Put aside the hundreds of times Swalwell and his smug ass has gone on TV to personally attack and smear Donald Trump over the years, it's what he tried to do to Justice Brett Kavanaigh, when he was going through his confirmation process, that should really have conservatives thungry for a takedown here. Indeed, during Kavanaugh's 2018 Supreme Court confirmation, Swalwell strongly advocated for investigating sexual assault allegations without any evidence, stating that mounting claims suggested a pattern of guilt. He even argued that if Kavanaugh were innocent, he should welcome a full investigation, while also noting that multiple accusations made it statistically improbable for the nominee to be innocent. Well if that's the case, Swalwell by his own terms must not only drop out of the Governor's race, but he should also resign from Congress.

Rep. Lauren Boebert Proves Waht a Waste of Time it Was Inviting Hillary Clinton to House Hearings

PBS.org:

The House Oversight Committee's deposition of Hillary Clinton was paused after Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert sent a photo of the closed-door proceeding to a conservative influencer. Benny Johnson, a right-wing Youtuber, posted a photo of Clinton at the deposition online and said Boebert had provided it. 

 

The deposition is being recorded on video, but Comer has said that will only be released after Clinton's attorneys have a chance to review it. The committee's rules do not allow outside press or photographers to take photos of the proceedings. Boebert, R-Colo., was defiant in remarks to reporters as she left the closed-door deposition for Hillary Clinton. 

 

Boebert had violated committee protocol by sharing a photo of Clinton with a conservative influencer who posted it online. When asked why she had shared the photo, Boebert responded, "Why not?" Boebert also sarcastically said she admired Clinton's blue suit and wanted to show it to everyone.

What a complete and utter farce, That is after begging for Hillary Clinton (who outside of the 2016 presidential election, has owned GOP whenever they confront her) to testify on the Epsteain files, knowing damn well she'd deny everything, much less behind closed doors all the while knowing that it's her husband Bill (who should be the focus here when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein). And then an unserious person like Rep. Boebert chooing to leak a photo of Hillary mid-trial to a pro-MAGA figure--any wonder why this GOP can't get anything done?

AIPAC Secures $3.3 Billion in New House of Representatives Bill

From AIPAC's X Account:

AIPAC applauds the House of Representatives for passing critical pro-Israel provisions, including $3.3 billion in security assistance to Israel, in the Fiscal Year 2026 National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act.

The pro-Israel provisions in this bill further reinforce the bipartisan and ironclad support for the U.S.-Israel partnership in Congress. These resources help ensure that our ally can confront shared strategic threats and that America has a strong and capable ally in the heart of the Middle East. The vital security funding in this bill strengthens Israel while bolstering the U.S. economy and creating jobs here at home.

In addition to the $3.3 billion in security assistance, the bill also includes: ✅ A complete ban on funding to UNRWA, the Hamas-affiliated U.N. agency in Gaza whose members participated in the October 7th massacre.

So AIPAC is celebrating after helping secure an additional $3.3 billion for Israel in the House bill, while also pushing Congress to fully cut off funding to international bodies investigating Israel’s actions, including the ICC, the International Court of Justice, and the U.N. Commission of Inquiry. The legislation also defunds UNRWA, the U.N. agency responsible for providing aid in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as to Palestinian refugees in Jordan and other countries. Yeah, that's your tax dollars at work.

Is Insider Trading About to be Banned in Congress?

TheHill.com:

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) filed a discharge petition on Tuesday in an attempt to bypass House Republican leadership to force a vote on a bill to prohibit stock trading for members of Congress and their immediate family members. 

 

Luna had long warned that she would file such a petition if leaders did not move fast enough to advance stock ban legislation. “We have decided because of a lack of movement from the House of Representatives to initiate the discharge petition on banning insider trading,” Luna said in a video posted to social media. “If leadership wants to put forward a bill that would actually do that and end the corruption, we’re all for it.” 

 

The petition aims to force a vote on the Restore Trust in Congress Act, a bipartisan bill unveiled earlier this year that would require members to divest their holdings or put them in a blind trust. Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.), the lead sponsors of the bill, said in a joint statement: “The clock is now running. If leadership does not move quickly to put forward a strong ban on congressional stock trading, the members of the body will act.”

This reform is long overdue, and with the bill’s bipartisan support, there’s a strong chance it will pass the House if it can get past Speaker Mike Johnson, who appears to oppose it. Public backing is also overwhelmingly clear: roughly 80% of Americans reject the idea of members of Congress engaging in insider trading. And while the bill would also extend restrictions to lawmakers’ family members, it notably exempts the President and Vice President, an omission that could incentivize Trump to sign it. It’s also worth noting that more than 20 members of Congress nearly doubled last year’s S&P 500 average gain of 24.9%, with the top performers spanning both Democrats and Republicans.

Supreme Court Hands Trump Victory in Fight Over Texas Congressional Map

TheHill.com:

The Supreme Court revived Texas’s congressional map that sparked a mid-decade redistricting war by adding up to five Republican pickup opportunities, paving the way Thursday for it to be used for the midterm elections as litigation proceeds. 

 

Over the dissents of the court’s three liberal justices, the majority said a lower court likely erred when invalidating the map as a likely racial gerrymander. “The District Court improperly inserted itself into an active primary campaign, causing much confusion and upsetting the delicate federal-state balance in elections,” the unsigned ruling reads. 

 

It is not the high court’s final word, but it enables Texas to move ahead to its March primary under the new map as the state continues its appeal. In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan chastised her colleagues for intervening “based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record.”

Huge win for the GOP and Trump who's desperate when it comes to keeping the House in the second half of his term. Otherwise, if Democrats take back the lower chamber, they'll find any reason to impeach him.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She'll Resign in January After Rift with Trump

BBC.com:

Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from office, an unexpected turn for the high-profile Republican. One of Donald Trump's Maga superstars and staunchest defenders, the Georgia congresswoman's relentless calls for releasing files related to late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and recent criticism of some of his policies led to a bitter public feud. 

 

After the US president labelled her a "traitor", she said in a video announcing her departure: "I refuse to be a 'battered wife' hoping it all goes away and gets better." 

 

Trump, who had threatened to support a Republican challenger to unseat Greene, called her resignation "great news for the country" in an interview with ABC News.

While this move surprised political pundits everywhere, it was certainly contrived and tactical. First, MTG picked a date that comes two after her Congressional pension kicks in. Secondly, by resigning one year into a two-year term, she leaves the GOP and Mike Johnson with an even thinner hold on the House of Representatives. third, whether it's as a :conservative pundit" on MSNBC, CNN or even "The View", unless she still against the odds and runs for a Senate or Governor's seat, even with her resignation MTG ain't leaving the spotlight anytime soon. Lastly, after years of calling MTG every nasty name in the book, imagine being a liberal today looking for MTG to be the face of the anti-Trump resistance after her and Trump parted ways, being sad and so disappointed that MTG is leaving Congress--shwos you once again that liberals will embrace just about anyone who opposes Trump, even people they once viewed as their mortal enemy.

House Democrat Stacey Plaskett Reportedly Texted with Jeffrey Epstein During Michael Cohen’s Congressional Testimony

Mediaite.com:

Jeffrey Epstein appeared to be exchanging real-time messages with House Democrat, Del. Stacey Plaskett (Virgin Islands), during Michael Cohen’s 2019 testimony, and may have nudged the lawmaker’s line of questioning.

 

The documents, published by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, include messages highlighted in a new report by The Washington Post that were sent as Cohen detailed allegations that President Donald Trump manipulated financial records and directed hush-money payments, claims Trump denied.

 

As the hearing unfolded, Epstein appeared to be monitoring the proceedings closely, alerting his contact that Cohen had mentioned former Trump aide Rhona Graff.

 
Don't know much about Plaskett other than the fact that she's a loudmouth, professional race-baiter who once threatened independemt journalist Matt Taibbi with jail, claiming he committed perjury over rabid Lefty Mehdi Hasan's uncorrected error some years ago. Since she reps the Virgin Islands, Plaskett doesn't get a vote in the House, so she uses her time there to bully and intimidate white, male Republicans in the name of fighting back against 'white supremacy'...Hallelujah! That said, if we had any real media in this country they'd be investigating this matter further because Plaskett was clearly up to something dubious with Cohen and Epstein for a long time now.

Democrats Stand by 88-Year-Old Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton in 'Early Stages of Dementia'

NBCNews.com:

Eleanor Holmes Norton — the 88-year-old nonvoting delegate for Washington, D.C., in the House of Representatives — is facing calls from a prominent Democratic strategist to make 2026 her last full year in Congress. 

 

Former Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile, who was Norton’s campaign manager when she was first elected in 1990 and her chief of staff for eight years, wrote in an opinion piece in The Washington Post on Monday that she should not seek re-election during the midterms. 

 

Brazile, 65, called Norton her “dear friend for 44 years,” her “role model and mentor” and “a second mother.” “But Norton, a Democrat, is now 88 — the oldest current House member. She is no longer the dynamo she once was, at a time when D.C. needs the kind of energetic representation in Congress she provided for decades,” Brazile wrote.

This feels like a repeat of what Democrats did recently with 90-year-old Senator Dianne Feinstein: keeping an aging establishment figure in office simply because she was a guaranteed vote who kept corporate donors satisfied. And we all saw how that ended. Now, with Norton clearly showing signs of dementia, it’s the same story again: her handlers refusing to let her step down, and Democrats still failing to recognize their growing age problem.

Ex-'Squad' Rep. Cori Bush Eyes Missouri Comeback, Blames AIPAC and MAGA for 2024 Loss

TheHill.com:

Former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) announced Friday she’s launching a comeback bid to represent Missouri’s 1st Congressional District after she was ousted in her primary last year by Rep. Wesley Bell (D-Mo.).

“I ran for Congress because I know what it feels like to be a working-class St. Louisan. Too often unseen, unheard, left out,” Bush said in a more than two-minute ad. “I promised to fight for St. Louis, and we delivered.”

Bush, who served in the House between 2021 and 2025 and was a member of the progressive group known as the “squad,” was defeated during her primary last year as a group aligned with the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and other opponents spent millions backing her opponent, Bell, the then-St. Louis County prosecutor.

Not too surpised to see Bush try to make her back to Congress. As she never struck me as the type who'd be satisfied officially joining the Bluesky/Resistance movement, do a podcast or make the rounds on liberal/CNN panels or something. Nah, Cori misses that Congresswoman title and all the benefits that come with it. Still the idea that MAGA is to blame for her loss last year as much as AIPAC was, is pretty laughable.
