GOP leadership quietly CANCELLED votes on DOGE cuts which were set for this week.

Instead, Speaker of the House Johnson just recessed the House for a 4-day weekend - tomorrow. After just returning from two weeks off.

This is twice now that President Trump has had a Republican controlled House and Senate and both times they did nothing but stonewall, delay and try to sabotage his agenda.

It couldn't be anymore obvious that there's a Uniparty and both sides of the aisle are in on the corruption.

You don't hate these backstabbing pieces of shit enough.

Members of Congress are not above the law. What happened at Delaney Hall wasn’t oversight— it was obstruction, and it was criminal.

It’s disgraceful that elected officials are fighting to protect violent illegal aliens— murderers, rapists, and gang members— over the safety of law-abiding Americans.

Under President Trump, there are consequences. Especially for those who break the law and put the American people at risk.

Watch: Former LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva explains to Matt Gaetz that California needs to “stop incentivizing bad behavior,” adding “they rob every individual of their personal agency. ‘The government is gonna take care of you. You don’t need to worry about ANYTHING. In fact, here’s a crack pipe for you...’

All they do is PERPETUATE this cycle of drug addiction…given everything…they don’t change their behavior. That formula HAS TO CHANGE for the problem to be fixed.”

BREAKING: Gov. Newsom announces $12 billion budget deficit for California.
__

Californians pay the highest taxes in the country, with nothing to show for it. Our schools are some of the worst in the nation, our roads are crumbling, our water infrastructure hasn’t been updated in a half century, and our utility and energy rates keep climbing…

California’s budget shortfall isn’t President Trump’s fault, it’s the fault of Gavin Newsom and his Democratic supermajority. Their mismanagement of nearly every facet of our state government has created a cost of living crisis, turning the California dream into an unaffordable nightmare. Californians deserve better. #biancoforgovernor
