Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Arizona) is upset the vote to impeach Hegseth failed. Today she indicated that when the Dems take power they should revisit the issue AND not only impeach Hegseth again, but also investigate people down the chain at the Pentagon who carried out these orders. Fun times, good luck all still on active duty.

If Dems were serious, they should have showed up and voted. Measure needed 8 more votes, 11 Dems no showed. Is Rep Ansari calling those 11 Ds out or calling them personally and giving them the beak? The clown show continues.

I think it was intentional. If they impeached him, most likely the Senate would hold a very quick trial/no witnesses, and he would be quickly acquitted, and that’s that. Then for the Dems to impeach him again just a few months later would look worse than just impeaching him once when they have full control. This way they’re able to make whatever spectacle of the situation they want in the House and the Senate for the trial. All knowing that most likely he’ll still be acquired.

BL: It’s all political theater

I think you underestimate the disdain for Pete...they WILL impeach him again once they have control. The rumors are about the internal DNC concerns about the turmoil of multiple impeachments.

Break Break...the other discussions we should have, Trumps's 60 minutes interview:

1. He discusses UAPs and the briefing from the F-22 pilots. When the reporter says there may be a secret organization keeping things from you, he responds "I don't know bu I am goign to find out right after this interview."

2. He may believe he is a Christian but he has little capacity for forgiveness. I won't ruin it...you should listen to his comments on forgiveness.

Finally - In an interview yesterday he refused to endorse anyone to replace him, said he might not endorse.

Haven’t seen the interview, sounds like Trump standard.

Keep Austin weird and Texas stupid.

A Texas Democrat just filed a bill to send $1,500 checks to households with no citizenship or legal status requirement.

State Senator Roland Gutierrez (D-San Antonio) introduced Senate Bill 297. It would pull $17 billion from the state’s Rainy Day Fund (the Economic Stabilization Fund) for one-time $1,500 payments to households living in Texas as of January 1, 2027. The bill text never mentions U.S. citizenship, legal immigration status, or a Social Security number as a condition of eligibility.

Residency can be shown with a lease, a utility bill, school records, or even a sworn declaration. The proposal frames high living costs as a “public calamity,” which is the constitutional workaround Democrats are using to get around the Texas Constitution’s restrictions on giving public money directly to individuals. $17 billion is roughly 60% of the fund’s projected $28.48 billion balance at the end of fiscal 2027.

This fulfills a campaign promise from Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa. The bill does not require legal status, so households that include illegal aliens would be eligible under the plain language. It still has to pass the legislature, including a two-thirds vote to tap the Rainy Day Fund.

So it's virtue signaling. They don't have 2/3. Then they get to air ads about how the mean Republicans won't fix the calamity.

Where did all the new account users that were whining about Trump go? Do any of them want to show their support for these really cool new policies that the side they advocated for now want to put into play?

Oh good, another example of Dems having less financial literacy than my dogs.
