GOP REVOLT Over Trump's $1.8 Billion Slush Fund-- will it survive?

Resistance Live: Elizabeth McLaughlin...

She emphasizes to donate to campaigns directly as the DNC does not necessarily back candidates in the best interest of Democratic voters...like they are weak on supportive progressives...

So, I choose not to give the DNC direct monies as we lack a true leader of the Party who recognizes we, " Are at War to Save Democracy."

rump’s proposed $1.8 billion slush fund is facing growing backlash — not just from Democrats, but from inside the GOP itself. Today we break down the explosive reaction from Senate Republicans, the House shutdown over the War Powers vote, the dismissal of charges against the Broadview 6, and the DNC’s deeply flawed 2024 election autopsy report.

Trump gets NIGHTMARE NEWS as Ohio WANTS HIM OUT!! Dr. Amy Acton/ Ohio interview

Meidas Touch interview......

Dr. Amy Acton, democratic Candidate who is running for Governor of Ohio....

Ken Harbaugh examines Ohio's political landscape ahead of November, arguing that Trump's MAGA coalition — built on broken promises and outright lies — is fracturing.

Trump's DOJ Tried to Protect Him Forever. Here's Why It May Fail.

Resistance Live:

Elizabeth McLaughlin....attorney/ activist

trump’s DOJ just attempted something unprecedented: a sweeping immunity structure surrounding Trump, his family, and a new $1.8 billion financial arrangement that critics are calling a political slush fund. Today, we break down whether any of this can actually survive constitutional scrutiny, what the War Powers Resolution means for Iran, and why last night’s election results may signal a major shift heading into November.

Yea, we are so underwater yet maybe we can try and swim to the top...?????

Trump's Gold Statue Isn't the Real Story

Resistance Live: Elizabeth McLaughlin; attorney activist

tRump is fucking with everyone....keeping us in a constant; " State of Emergency" and he thus is in control and feels powerful....

Today we’re talking about Trump’s gold statue and why authoritarian movements rely on spectacle, Trump rejecting proposals for peace with Iran, ongoing fallout from the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, and the Oversight Committee interviewing Epstein survivors in Palm Beach tomorrow. More importantly, we’re discussing the deeper strategy underneath all of it — how chaos, distraction, and emotional overwhelm keep people reactive while power continues consolidating underneath the spectacle.
