Jasmine Crockett got comedy in her. She poses with DL Hughley.
After weeks of questioning the intelligence of progressive lawmaker and agitator, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), MAGAland now gets upset over more controversial things she says.
She calls Texas governor Greg Abbott, "Governor Hot Wheels" at the Human Rights Campaign event.
It was aimed at the governor passing laws outlawing transgender Americans rights and gay rights.
“Sleepy Joe” “Joe and the Hoe gotta go” “Kamala Harris slept her way up to the top” “Michelle Obama is man” “Fuck your feelings, libtards” “Let’s go Brandon”
Mind you, every one of these assholes love it when President Donald J. Trump hands out nicknames to political enemies.
Democrats got to sit back and take that shit.
Nah, fight dirty.
Do not apologize.
Aim at the target and never miss.
If you offend a certain group, remind them who writes laws that strip those groups.
I mean that Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said far worst things. Mind you these two ratchet lawmakers almost got into a physical confrontation.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is about to get some of Crockett's wrath too.
Gov. Greg Abbott — who uses a wheelchair — as “Gov. Hot Wheels” while speaking at a banquet in Los Angeles.
“You all know we got Gov. Hot Wheels down there. Come on, now,” Crockett, a Dallas Democrat, said about Abbott, a Republican, while addressing the Human Rights Campaign event. “And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-ass mess, honey.”
The governor of Texas, Hot Wheels.
Abbott was paralyzed in 1984 after a tree fell on him while he was running. The accident severely damaged Abbott’s spinal cord. Abbott, now 67, was elected in 2014.
Crockett, elected to the House in 2022, was roundly criticized by Republicans for the comments, an aside she made during her speech to the civil rights group event after she thanked Morgan Cox, a group board member and fellow Dallas resident, according to video of the event posted to Human Rights Campaign’s YouTube channel.
“Crockett’s comments are disgraceful,” Texas Sen. John Cornyn posted on the social media platform X. “Shameful.”
Crockett suggested Tuesday that she was not referring to Abbott’s condition. Instead, she posted on X that she was referring to Abbott’s policy of sending thousands of immigrants who were in Texas illegally to cities where local policy limits cooperation with federal immigration authorities, such as New York and Philadelphia.
“I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable,” the post stated.
Abbott’s office did not immediately replied to requests for comment.
Crockett has faced criticism from Republicans for suggesting last week that tech billionaire Elon Musk, heading the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, “be taken down.”
So when Republicans are comfortable with mocking:
Former president Joe Biden for his age.
Former vice president Kamala Harris for her race, laugh and statements.
Former president Barack Obama for his race, religion, birthplace and suits.
Former first lady Michelle Obama by questioning if she was born a man.
Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) by misgendering and deadnaming.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) in one statement calling her ghetto then elitist next.
John Kerry's military service.
Hillary Clinton's health.
Hunter Biden’s drug abuse and mental health issues.
Paul Pelosi being attacked with a hammer but thought as a gay tryst.
Lizzo for her weight and playing a flute from the Smithsonian.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on her race, religion, her upbringing and her husband.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on her religion, her upbringing and her stances.
Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA) on her race, her alcopea, her stances and her family.
Pro Palestinian protesters as terrorist sympathizers, idiots and call for deportation.
So the Republicans went woke. The Republicans who vowed to eliminate woke and bring comedy back. The very same party that allowed a comedian call Puerto Rico "an island of garbage." The same party that wants to get people fired, deported, arrested and boycotted can't take a joke.
Just you wait when they start mocking disabled people. We will just come back to the remarks about Abbott.
The Israeli regime brutally assaulted the directors of the Oscar award winning documentary.
The directors of the Academy Awards winning documentary are missing. The Israeli regime are snuffing people out.
The AP likes to make the story favor Israel. So I to make it actually right.
Israeli settlers lynched one of the Palestinian co-directors of the Oscar-winning documentary film “ No Other Land ” on Monday in the occupied West Bank before he was detained by the Israeli military, according to two of his fellow directors and other witnesses.
The Oscar winning filmmaker Hamdan Ballal was one of three Palestinians lynched in the village of Susiya, according to attorney Lea Tsemel, who is representing them. Police told her they were being held at a military base for medical treatment, but she said Tuesday morning that she had not been able to reach them and had no further information on their whereabouts.
Basel Adra, another co-director, witnessed the detention and said around two dozen settlers — some masked, some carrying guns, some in Israeli Defence Forces uniform — attacked the village. Soldiers who arrived pointed their guns at the Palestinians, while settlers continued throwing stones.
“We came back from the Oscars and every day since there is an attack on us,” Adra told The Associated Press. “This might be their revenge on us for making the movie. It feels like a punishment.”
The Israeli military said it seized three Palestinians under the false claims of hurling rocks at forces and one Israeli civilian involved in a “violent confrontation” between Israelis and Palestinians — a claim witnesses interviewed by the AP disputed. The military said it had transferred them to Israeli police for questioning and had evacuated an Israeli citizen from the area to receive medical treatment.

⚡️🇮🇱 BREAKING: Hamdan Ballal, Director of the movie "No Other Land." has been released and is currently in hospital in Hebron. He was BEATEN by soldiers and settlers all over his body.

After being handcuffed all night and beaten in a military base, Hamdan Ballal is now free and is about to go home to his family.

“No Other Land,” which won the Oscar this year for best documentary, chronicles the struggle by residents of the Masafer Yatta area to stop the Israeli military from demolishing their villages. Ballal and Adra, both from Masafar Yatta, made the joint Palestinian-Israeli production with Israeli directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor.
The film has won a string of international awards, starting at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2024. It has also drawn ire in Israel and abroad, as when Miami Beach proposed ending the lease of a movie theater that screened the documentary.
Adra said that settlers entered the village Monday evening shortly after residents broke the daily fast for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. A settler — who according to Adra frequently attacks the village — walked over to Ballal’s home with the military, and soldiers shot in the air. Ballal’s wife heard her husband being beaten outside and scream “I’m dying,” according to Adra.
Adra then saw the soldiers lead Ballal, handcuffed and blindfolded, from his home into a military vehicle. Speaking to the AP by phone, he said Ballal’s blood was still splattered on the ground outside his own front door.
Some of the details of Adra’s account were backed up by another eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal.
A group of 10-20 masked white Jewish extremist settlers with stones and sticks also assaulted activists with the Center for Jewish Nonviolence, smashing their car windows and slashing tires to make them flee the area, one of the activists at the scene, Josh Kimelman, told the AP.
Video provided by the Center for Jewish Nonviolence showed a masked settler shoving and swinging his fists at two activists in a dusty field at night. The activists rush back to their car as rocks can be heard thudding against the vehicle.
Israel seized the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war, along with the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. The Palestinians want all three for their future state and view settlement growth as a major obstacle to an segregated state solution.
Israel has built well over 100 illegal settlements, home to over 500,000 foreign settlers who have specific Israeli citizenship. The 3 million Palestinians in the West Bank live under an apartheid controlled by Israeli military rule, with the weak Palestinian Authority administering population centers.
The Israeli military designated Masafer Yatta in the southern West Bank as a massacre zone in the 1980s and ordered residents, mostly Arab Bedouin, to be expelled. Around 1,000 residents have largely remained in place, but soldiers regularly move in to demolish homes, tents, water tanks and olive orchards — and Palestinians fear outright expulsion could come at any time.
During the war in Gaza, Israel killed hundreds of Palestinians in the West Bank during wide-scale military operations, and there has also been a rise in settler attacks on Palestinians. There has been a surge in Palestinian attacks on Israelis.
Progressive agitator announces her bid for Congress to take on Zionist Democrat in the Illinois 9th Congressional District.
She is taking on Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL).
Meet Kat Abughazaleh, the social media influncer who tracks the far right and calls oit the Democrats for just being the party that sucks
Kat has done numerous videos taking aim at President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Rupert Murdoch, Piers Morgan, Tucker Carlson, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, Steve Bannon and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
She is very good at her job.
Kat previously worked at Media Matters for America, Mother Jones and Zeteo. She is a part of the Meidas Touch network.
She is going to take on the 80-year old progressive lawmaker who continues to back the apartheid ethnostate of Israel. She is very vocal about the Democratic Party's leaders being out of touch with the progressive base. She is demanding lawmakers get touch and start listening to the voices that opposed them in 2024.
Progressives were turned off by former president Joe Biden’s stance on Israel.
It did damage to former vice president Kamala Harris and her bid for president.
Now as the Democrats watch Republicans spiral out of control, they see the wind in their sails. But hold up. The Democrats are extremely unpopular. They have no real policies other than allowing Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) make complete asses of themselves.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk are dismantling our country piece by piece, and so many Democrats seem content to just sit back and let them,” Abughazaleh says in the video. “So I say it’s time to drop the excuses and grow a fucking spine.”
After graduating from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with a degree in international security, Abughazaleh, 26, took a job with the left-leaning watchdog group Media Matters before being hired by Mother Jones in 2024. She is best known for videos in which she derides Fox News and conservative personalities. On TikTok, she has over 217,000 followers, and nearly 200,000 more on X, and some of her videos have received more than 1 million views.
“I’ve spent my entire career reporting on the far right and being attacked by them as a result,” Abughazaleh said in her campaign video, in which a kaffiyeh, the traditional headdress worn by Middle Eastern men that has become a symbol of Palestinian identity, is seen hanging on a wall.
Background
The daughter of a Palestinian immigrant father and a seventh-generation Texan mother, Abughazaleh grew up in an upper-middle-class section of Dallas, HuffPost reported. Both her parents were politically conservative Fox News viewers.
When she moved to Tucson, Ariz., as a teenager, however, her perspective on the world began to shift.
“At least half my high school was low-income or undocumented,” she told HuffPost. “The bootstrap myth just shattered before my eyes.”
Israeli support has made Democrats unpopular with the base. Jan Schakowsky and Joe Biden let the party down.
‘A representation problem’
On her newly minted website, Abughazaleh declares that Democrats “have a representation problem. As in, about half of Congress are millionaires and people born before the moon landing.”
“I'm a renter. I don't have health insurance,” she adds. “My net worth is pretty much just the laptop I bought with my entire severance when I got laid off... and my adorable cat Heater.”
While Schakowsky, 80, was born before the moon landing, and as of 2018, she didn’t qualify as a millionaire, according to Open Secrets. Her net worth was then estimated at $749,017.
Schakowsky has been an outspoken critic of Trump. She boycotted his address to Congress earlier this month, then slammed his remarks as “insulting and disrespectful.”
Last week, Schakowsky joined Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York in denouncing Trump’s firing of two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, calling it “yet another direct assault on our democracy.”
A challenge but Kat Abughazaleh is up for it.
Staunchly liberal platform
Abughazaleh is attempting to tap into rising Democratic anger at old-guard politicians like Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, whom progressives accuse of failing to effectively counter Trump’s moves to dismantle government agencies and fire federal workers.
On her website, Abughazaleh also takes a not-so-subtle shot at Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, whose new podcast has featured guests like the arch-conservatives Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk.
“Some Democrats might be happy to throw trans people under the bus for an interview with Steve Bannon, but I’m not,” she states.
Her policy proposals range from enacting more protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, passing the Green New Deal to address climate change, increasing pay for public school teachers, offering universal pre-K, expanding Social Security and abolishing limitations on abortion.
While Illinois’ Ninth District is considered strongly Democratic, the first question Abughazaleh must answer is whether she can debate and beat Schakowsky, who was first elected to Congress in 1999, in the primary.
Schakowsky, after all, can lean on her own liberal record. According to Progressive Punch, a database ranking how members vote, she was rated as the 27th most progressive Democrat in Congress. A former elementary school teacher, she also has received an A grade from the National Educational Association.
Abughazaleh will have to convince Illinois voters that Schakowsky is part of the larger problem progressives see with the Democratic Party. In her kickoff video, the woman known on social media as Kat Abu puts it this way: “We’re focused on meeting constituent needs with one simple rule: What if we didn’t suck?”
Pete Hegseth could be the first major administration figure gone this year.
Vice President JD Vance is tired of Elon Musk screwing up the Trump agenda. He had privately bashed the billionaire and Secretary of Government Efficiency. He and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have to save grace.
The incompetent leadership always falls on President Donald J. Trump. But guess who he is gonna blame for the chaotic first 100 days?
It ain’t him.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth may be in some serious trouble. He was the one who launched the Signal conversation. He was the one who leaked out their sloppy engagement with Yemen.
Yemen, had previously allowed cargo ships pass through its sovereignty. Now thanks to the U.S. airstrikes on Sana'a, the country imposed a mandatory restriction of any shipping through its waters. Thanks to the Israelis, Trump may have launched a full scale war with the Yemenis.
Yemen only blocked ships that went to Israel. It was lawfully within its rights.
Yemen said that it would allow Israeli ships to pass if they allowed goods and medication into the Gaza Strip. Israel violated the ceasefire and formally ended it.
Yemen now warns the U.S. that any military or shipping vessels will be targeted.
Well all the groundwork for an invasion was leaked to the junk food media.
Jeffrey Goldberg, a Zionist writing for The Atlantic said the Defense Secretary accidently invited him in and leaked all their plans. Goldberg left college to move to Israel, where he served in the Israel Defense Forces during the First Intifada as a prison guard at Ktzi'ot Prison, where Palestinian participants arrested in the uprising were held. There he met Rafiq Hijazi, a Palestine Liberation Organization leader, college math teacher, and devout Muslim from a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, whom Goldberg called "the only Palestinian I could find in Ketziot who understood the moral justification for Zionism".
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. https://t.co/jvBzeJwEuy
Trump on report that cabinet officials were discussing sensitive materials on Signal: I don’t know anything about it.. You’re telling me about it for the first time pic.twitter.com/13LoxXhh9K
I bet you money Goldberg gave it to Israeli intelligence. The Trump Administration is so cooked. These Zionists are working his ass over.
Hegseth and Vance also bashed Trump and the European Union.
Top national security officials for Trump, including his defense secretary, texted war plans for upcoming military strikes in Yemen to a group chat in a secure messaging app that included the editor-in-chief for The Atlantic, the magazine reported in a story posted online Monday. The National Security Council said the text chain “appears to be authentic.”
Trump initially told reporters he was not aware that the highly sensitive information had been shared, 2 1/2 hours after it was reported. He later appeared to joke about the breach.
The material in the text chain “contained operational details of forthcoming strikes on Iran-backed Houthi-rebels in Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing,” editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg reported.
It was not immediately clear if the specifics of the military operation were classified, but they often are and at the least are kept secure to protect service members and operational security. The U.S. has conducted airstrikes against the Houthis since the militant group began targeting commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea in November 2023.
Just two hours after Goldberg received the details of the attack on March 15, the U.S. began launching a series of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen.
Vance and Rubio are stressing.
The National Security Council is looking into the matter.
The National Security Council said in a statement that it was looking into how a journalist’s number was added to the chain in the Signal group chat. In addition to Hegseth, it included Vance, Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s director of national intelligence.
Goldberg said he received the Signal invitation from Mike Waltz, Trump’s national security adviser, who was also in the group chat.
Hegseth in his first comments on the matter attacked Goldberg as “deceitful” and a “discredited so-called journalist” while alluding to previous critical reporting of Trump from the publication. He did not shed light on why Signal was being used to discuss the sensitive operation or how Goldberg ended up on the message chain.
“Nobody was texting war plans and that’s all I have to say about that,” Hegseth said in an exchange with reporters after landing in Hawaii on Monday as he began his first trip to the Indo-Pacific as defense secretary.
In a statement late Monday, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said the president still has the “utmost confidence” in Waltz and the national security team.
Earlier Monday, Trump told reporters, “I don’t know anything about it. You’re telling me about it for the first time.” He added that The Atlantic was “not much of a magazine.”
By early evening, the president jokingly brushed it aside. He amplified a social media posting from Elon Musk spotlighting a conservative satirical news site article with the cutting headline: “4D Chess: Genius Trump Leaks War Plans to ‘The Atlantic’ Where No One Will Ever See Them.”
Government officials have used Signal for organizational correspondence, but it is not classified and can be hacked. Privacy and tech experts say the popular end-to-end encrypted messaging and voice call app is more secure than conventional texting.
Trump says it's not his fault. Like always he will deflect blame.
Reaction poured in quickly.
The sharing of sensitive information comes as Hegseth’s office has just announced a crackdown on leaks of sensitive information, including the potential use of polygraphs on defense personnel to determine how reporters have received information.
Sean Parnell, a spokesman for Hegseth, did not immediately respond to requests for comment on why the defense secretary posted war operational plans on an unclassified app.
The administration’s handling of the highly sensitive information was swiftly condemned by Democratic lawmakers. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer called for a full investigation.
“This is one of the most stunning breaches of military intelligence I have read about in a very, very long time,” Schumer, a New York Zionist Democrat, said in a floor speech Monday afternoon.
“If true, this story represents one of the most egregious failures of operational security and common sense I have ever seen,” said Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, in a statement.
He said American lives are “on the line. The carelessness shown by Trump’s Cabinet is stunning and dangerous. I will be seeking answers from the Administration immediately.”
Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said in a statement that he was “horrified” by the reports.
Himes said if a lower-ranking official “did what is described here, they would likely lose their clearance and be subject to criminal investigation. The American people deserve answers,” which he said he planned to get at Wednesday’s previously scheduled committee hearing.
Some Republicans also expressed concerns.
Sen. Roger Wicker, the Mississippi Republican who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, told reporters Monday, “We’re very concerned about it and we’ll be looking into it on a bipartisan basis.”
Reed said he would be speaking with Wicker about what the committee will do to “follow up” on the Signal leak.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said he wants to learn more about what happened.
“Obviously, we got to to run it to the ground, figure out what went on there,” said Thune, a South Dakota Republican.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson offered a notably forgiving posture.
“I think it would be a terrible mistake for there to be adverse consequences on any of the people that were involved in that call,” Johnson said. “They were trying to do a good job, the mission was accomplished with precision.”
There are strict laws around handling defense information
The handling of national defense information is strictly governed by law under the century-old Espionage Act, including provisions that make it a crime to remove such information from its “proper place of custody” even through an act of gross negligence.
The Justice Department in 2015 and 2016 investigated whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton broke the law by communicating about classified information with her aides on a private email server she set up, though the FBI ultimately recommended against charges and none were brought.
In the Biden administration, some officials were given permission to download Signal on their White House-issued phones, but were instructed to use the app sparingly, according to a former national security official who served in the Democratic administration.
The official, who requested anonymity to speak about methods used to share sensitive information, said Signal was most commonly used to communicate what they internally referred to as “tippers” to notify someone when they were away from the office or traveling overseas that they should check their “high side” inbox for a classified message.
The app was sometimes also used by officials during the Biden administration to communicate about scheduling of sensitive meetings or classified phone calls when they were outside the office, the official said.

The app was sometimes also used by officials during the Biden administration to communicate about scheduling of sensitive meetings or classified phone calls when they were outside the office, the official said.
The use of Signal became more prevalent during the last year of the Biden administration after federal law enforcement officials warned that China and Iran were hacking the White House as well as officials in the first Trump administration, according to the official.
The official was unaware of top Biden administration officials — such as Vice President Kamala Harris, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and national security adviser Jake Sullivan — using Signal to discuss sensitive plans as the Trump administration officials did.
Some of the toughest criticism targeted Hegseth, a former Fox News Channel weekend host. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran, said on social media that Hegseth, “the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in history, is demonstrating his incompetence by literally leaking classified war plans in the group chat.”
Leak reveals internal debate on Houthi operation.
Vance in the chain of the messages questioned whether Americans would understand the importance of strikes that came with the risk of “a moderate to severe spike in oil prices” and if the timing of the operation might be a “mistake.”
“I am willing to support the consensus of the team and keep these concerns to myself,” Vance argued. “But there is a strong argument for delaying this a month, doing the messaging work on why this matters, seeing where the economy is, etc.”
Vance also made the case that Europe would benefit much more than the U.S. by the action aimed at decimating the Houthis and securing Red Sea shipping lanes.
“If you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again,” Vance said in a back-and-forth with Hegseth.
“I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC,” Hegseth replied. He added, “I think we should go.”
The vice president’s communication’s director, William Martin, in a statement downplayed the debate. He said Vance “unequivocally supports this administration’s foreign policy.”
The former Utah lawmaker and first Black woman elected as a Republican has passed away from terminal brain cancer.
Ludmya Love professionally known as Mia Love has died from complications of cancer.
She served two terms as the first Black woman U.S. Representative in Congress.
Love was previously a mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah and a CNN commentator.
She was 49.

Former U.S. Rep. Mia Love of Utah, 49, daughter of Haitian immigrants and the first Black Republican woman elected to Congress, died Sunday at her Saratoga Springs, Utah home, per a family statement.
Love’s family posted news of her death on Love’s X account.
She had undergone recent treatment for brain cancer and received immunotherapy as part of a clinical trial at Duke University’s brain tumor center. Her daughter said earlier this month that the former lawmaker was no longer responding to treatment.
Love died at her home in Saratoga Springs, Utah, according to a statement posted by the family.
“With grateful hearts filled to overflowing for the profound influence of Mia on our lives, we want you to know that she passed away peacefully,” her family said. “We are thankful for the many good wishes, prayers and condolences.”
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox referred to Love as a “true friend” and said her legacy of service inspired all who knew her.
Love entered politics in 2003 after winning a seat on the city council in Saratoga Springs, a growing community about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Salt Lake City. She later became the city’s mayor.
In 2012, Love narrowly lost a bid for the House against the Democratic incumbent, former Rep. Jim Matheson, in a district that covers a string of Salt Lake City suburbs. She ran again two years later and defeated first-time candidate Doug Owens by about 7,500 votes.
Love didn’t emphasize her race during her campaigns, but she acknowledged the significance of her election after her 2014 victory. She said her win defied naysayers who had suggested that a Black, Republican, Mormon woman couldn’t win a congressional seat in overwhelmingly white Utah.
Her family announced her passing early Monday morning.
She was briefly considered a rising star within the GOP and she kept her distance from Donald Trump, who was unpopular with many Utah voters, while he was running for president ahead of the 2016 election.
In an op-ed published earlier this month in the Deseret News, Love described the version of America she grew up loving and shared her enduring wish for the nation to become less divisive. She thanked her medical team and every person who had prayed for her.
Love said her parents immigrated to the U.S. with $10 in their pocket and a belief that hard work would lead to success. She said she was raised to believe passionately in the American dream and “to love this country, warts and all.” America at its roots is respectful, resilient, giving and grounded in gritty determination, she said.
Her career in politics exposed Love to America’s ugly side, but she said it also gave her a front row seat to be inspired by people’s hope and courage. She shared her wish for neighbors to come together and focus on their similarities rather than their differences.
“Some have forgotten the math of America — whenever you divide you diminish,” Love wrote.
She urged elected officials to lead with compassion and communicate honestly with their constituents.
“In the end, I hope that my life will have mattered and made a difference for the nation I love and the family and friends I adore,” Love wrote. “I hope you will see the America I know in the years ahead, that you will hear my words in the whisper of the wind of freedom and feel my presence in the flame of the enduring principles of liberty. My living wish and fervent prayer for you and for this nation is that the America I have known is the America you fight to preserve.”
In 2016, facing reelection and following the release of a 2005 recording in which Trump made lewd comments about groping women, Love skipped the Republican National Convention and released a statement saying definitively that she would not vote for Trump. She instead endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the GOP race, but he dropped out months later.
While seeking a third term in 2018, Love tried to separate herself from Trump on trade and immigration while still backing her party’s positions on tax cuts. Despite Republican voters outnumbering Democrats by a nearly three-to-one margin in her district, though, she lost by fewer than 700 votes to Democrat Ben McAdams, a former mayor of Salt Lake City.
Trump called out Love by name in a news conference the morning after she lost, where he also bashed other Republicans who didn’t fully embrace him.
“Mia Love gave me no love, and she lost,” Trump said. “Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia.”
After her loss, Love served as a political commentator on CNN and as a fellow at the University of Sydney.
Following Trump’s election in November, Love said she was “OK with the outcome.”
“Yes, Trump says a lot of inconsiderate things that are unfortunate and impossible to defend,” Love wrote in a social media post. “However, his policies have a high probability of benefiting all Americans.”
Jessica Aber (left) has died. Now questions about how a career prosecutor died. She was investigating Trump, Israel and Russia.
Did the Israelis kill a former U.S. attorney that investigated a ring of operatives?
Conspiracy theories are flying.
Again, the Zionists will accuse the critics of being antisemitic and sympathizers of terrorism. It is not working and Americans who believe our government is complicit in genocide will not allow this death go without questioning how a woman at such a young age died in an unfortunate circumstance.
Jessica Aber, a former U.S. District Attorney appointed by former president Joe Biden was found deceased in her home in Virginia.
Aber was born 1981 in Walnut Creek, California. She completed a B.A., magna cum laude, from the University of Richmond in 2003 and a J.D. from William & Mary Law School in 2006.
Aber began her legal career as a law clerk for then-Magistrate Judge M. Hannah Lauck of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) from 2006 to 2007. From 2007 to 2008, she was an associate at McGuireWoods. In 2009, Aber entered public service as assistant United States attorney in the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. From 2015 to 2016, she served on a detail assignment as Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice. From 2016 until 2021, Aber was the Deputy Chief of the Criminal Division for the Eastern District of Virginia.
In March 2021, Virginia Democratic Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner recommended Aber and one other candidate to the White House. On August 10, 2021, President Joe Biden nominated Aber to be the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

"We are heartbroken beyond words to learn of the passing of our friend and former colleague, U.S. Attorney Jessica Aber," current U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert said in a statement. "She was unmatched as a leader, mentor, and prosecutor, and she is simply irreplaceable as a human being. We remain in awe of how much she accomplished in her all too brief time in this world."
After we extradited this defendant from Israel, he pleaded guilty to recruiting/facilitating the illegal entry of Israel citizens into the United States with fraudulent tourist/visitor visas. This investigation reflected years of hard work with @DOJCrimDiv, @HSI_DC, + @DOLOIG. https://t.co/VUauDQNoKv
Calling her a "proud Virginian from high school through college and throughout her career," Siebert's statement went on to say: "Her professionalism, grace, and legal acumen set the standard. Though we are devastated by this loss, each of us in the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) will look to her example and endeavor to live up to that standard."
In a statement, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares said he was saddened to learn of her death, saying her "career of public service included US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and whose work with Ceasefire Virginia saved more lives than we may ever realize."
He added, "Our thoughts and our prayers are with her family this week."
Police in Alexandria, Virginia, were called to a home on Beverly Drive in the suburb of Washington, D.C., at around 9:18 a.m. for the report of an unresponsive woman, according to a police statement. They found Aber dead inside.
Shocking News 🚨
Jessica Aber, ex-U.S. Biden appointed attorney in Virginia, found dead at her home just two months after leaving office.
Former US attorney, who was the prosecutor in the case of CIA agent who leaked Israeli secrets, found dead
Police said an investigation is underway surrounding the circumstances of her death.
Two sources close to the investigation told ABC News that the death appears to be from natural causes. At this point there is no indication of foul play, the sources added.
A friend of the family told ABC News on Sunday that police believe the death was the result of a longstanding medical issue.
What two consenting adults do in their bedroom is none of my business. But when it comes to MAGAland, the hypocrisy is ripe for the picking. A lot of supporters of the 45th/47th President of the United States are seeing their stock decline. They are seeing their celebrity status dry up. They are facing boycotts and dismissals.
And of course Israel. It has dirt on most of us and uses it to exploit loyalty and endless taxpayer funding for its apartheid.
The "World's Best Golfer" is non political and yet is dating one of the family members of the country’s most polarizing family.
The professional golfer Tiger Woods is officially dating the ex-wife of Donald Trump, Jr.
President Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr. and Tiger Woods have adultery and scandal following them.
Trump, Jr. broke off the engagement with Kimberly Guilfoyle, the awaiting Ambassador of Greece to date Bettina Anderson, a socialite and Women for Trump activist.
The family of weirdness.
Trump, Jr. and new girl Bettina Anderson.
Vanessa is the mother of five with Trump, Jr. Woods has two children from Elin Nordegren. Woods has slept with over 50 women while married to Elin.
Woods and Vanessa Trump had been linked together for quite some time, but the rumors really gained traction after Woods showed up to the Genesis Open with Donald Trump's granddaughter, Kai.
Since then, Vanessa and Kai were seen at Woods' TGL event in Florida as well. Furthermore, Woods' children, Charlie and Sam, attend the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida achlongside Kai. Kai and Charlie actually both competed in the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley this weekend as well.
Woods is a problematic alocholic, sex addict and gambler. He nearly lost his life after he got into an serious accident.
Woods was hospitalized in serious but stable condition after a single-car collision and underwent emergency surgery to repair compound fractures sustained in his right leg in addition to a shattered ankle. In an interview with Golf Digest in November 2021, Woods indicated that his full-time career as a professional golfer was over, although he would continue to play "a few events per year". For the first time since the car crash, he returned to the PGA Tour at the 2022 Masters.
Kultida Woods died on February 4, 2025. Woods credited his mother for his success, saying "without her none of my personal achievements would have been possible."
Woods has met Presidents Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
One way or another, Chuck Schumer you're Zionist ass will be gone.
Keep the federal government open. Cool.
Let the Trump administration make cuts to federal programs. Not cool.
Calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Cool.
Rejects the calls to hold Israel accountable for war crimes, reject Palestinians casualties, call student protesters antisemitic and take millions from AIPAC. Not cool.
Leading the Democrats to their massive losses in the 2024 elections. Not cool.
Continuing on as the top leadership while ignoring calls to step aside. Not cool.
A defiant Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed that he won’t step aside as the chamber’s top Democrat, rejecting calls from some House colleagues and liberal advocates critical of his move to help pass a Republican funding bill.
“Look, I’m not stepping down,” Schumer said in a pretaped interview that aired Sunday on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker he knew there “would be a lot of controversy” when he cast his vote to prevent a shutdown. But he maintains that while the GOP’s six-month bill was “certainly bad,” a shutdown “would be 15 or 20 times worse.”
“Under a shutdown, the executive branch has sole power to determine what is ‘essential.’ And they can determine without any court supervision. The courts have ruled it’s solely up to the executive what to shut down,” he said, warning that the Trump administration “would eviscerate the federal government.”
“On Day 2, they could say, ‘Oh, SNAP? Feeding hungry children? Not essential.’ On Day 4, ‘Mass transit? All transit? Aid to the states? Not essential. We’re cutting it.’ On Day 6, ‘Medicaid? We’ll cut that by 20%, 30%, 50%, 80%. We’ll go after Social Security. We’ll go after the veterans.’ Their goal is to just eviscerate the federal government so they can give more taxes, and their tax cuts ... to their billionaire class over there,” he said.
“Sometimes when you’re a leader, you have to do things to avoid a real danger that might come down the curve. And I did it out of pure conviction as to what a leader should do and what the right thing for America and my party was. People disagree.”
It’s up to Democratic senators to choose their leader, and none of them have called on Schumer to quit a post that he has held for more than eight years. But some have entertained questions about whether it’s time for a re-examination. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) told a constituent at a town hall last week that “we’re going to have future conversations about all the Democratic leadership.”
Schumer also rejected comparisons to then-President Joe Biden’s refusal to step down as the 2024 nominee, in response to a question about whether he’s making the same mistake.
“No, absolutely not. I did this out of conviction. And, look, in my caucus, we have a disagreement as to, you know, some people voted one way, some people voted the other. But we’ve all agreed to respect each other because each side saw why the other side felt so strongly about it. And our caucus is united in fighting Donald Trump every step of the way,” Schumer said.
NBC News has previously reported that some Democrats are hoping that progressive Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) launches a primary bid against Schumer in 2028, if he decides to seek re-election.
Khanna said in a Sunday interview on CNN's "State of the Union" that the decision was Ocasio-Cortez's to make, adding "there were a lot of people at the Democratic retreat who had encouraged her, and I was just in New York and I was surprised how much support there is."
"The American people are fed up with the old guard. There needs to be a renewal. In Silicon Valley, when a company isn’t doing well, you don’t keep the same team," Khanna added.
Schumer on Sunday responded to a suggestion from former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) that the Senate Democrats who voted to break a filibuster gave their votes without getting anything. “What we got, at the end of the day, is avoiding the horror of a shutdown,” Schumer said.
Schumer said President Donald J. Trump has put the U.S. in a constitutional crisis as he escalates attacks on the judiciary and faces allegations from judges that he defied court orders.
“Look, this is an extraordinary moment. It does require extraordinary action. If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory that we haven’t been in for a very long time, and our entire democracy, this whole beautiful enterprise of democracy that we’ve had for over 240 years, is at risk. And look, I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up,” he said. “Democrats will fight it in every single way.”
Schumer also discussed his new book “Antisemitism in America: A Warning” during the interview, saying he wrote it because he’s concerned that antisemitism is on the rise again.
“I aimed it at both the hard right, and we’ve seen how viciously antisemitic they could be, but also at the hard left. I felt, as a progressive, I could talk to them about how some of their anti-Israel activity — I might disagree with it, but they’re certainly entitled to do it, and it is not antisemitic — has been sliding over into direct antisemitism,” Schumer said. “I would like all of America to read this. So I hope it will be reading in colleges and in high schools to learn, teach people the history. ... I believe the best antidote to antisemitism is education.”
Schumer, who is the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the United States, said it’s “possible” there will be a Jewish president in his lifetime, because “glass ceilings are broken every day.”
When Republicans are upset over the cuts that are impacting their lives.
They seriously believe President Donald J. Trump's actions were going to affect the perceived enemies they deduced through endless gaslighting from far right media agitators.
Everyone is affected.
I owe the federal government $150. Thanks to my previous job not withholding taxes, I get no refund. I get only $183 from the state. With that being said, I get only $33 back.
Thanks to the policies of Trump and former president Joe Biden, I will owe the government.
Elon Musk gets a tax break. Jeff Bezos gets a tax break. Mark Zuckerberg gets a tax break. Peter Thiel gets a tax break.
Hell, Trump gets a tax break.
Israel gets over an unprecedented amount of our taxpayer money to fund a genocide.
Federal workers are out of their jobs.
Immigrants are being detained and deported.
Transgender Americans are being discriminated against.
People who speak languages other than English are being forced to learn it.
Jewish college students are getting more privileges than other students.
Historical Black Americans are being erased from schools due to the president's determination to close the Department of Education.
Muslims are being told they are under surveillance.
Arabs are being called terrorists because they protest Israel's genocide.
More Americans are working harder for less pay and are being forced to find side hustles or second jobs.
Republicans want to make food assistance difficult by eliminating chips, soda, expensive meats and pastries.
Freedumb.
If you are a Muslim and you are always bombarded with calls to condemn terrorism, Hezbollah or Hamas, why should you pay your taxes?
If you are a former federal worker and now struggling, being forced to find employment to get unemployment or the safety net, why should you pay your taxes?
If you are transgender and are being harassed because you identify as human being and being punished for that, why should you pay your taxes?
If you are a college student and you felt the need to protest injustices in America or abroad and you were dismissed from campus, why should you pay your taxes?
A lot Republicans are slowly regretting the Trump policies.
But will it help Democrats?
No.
Democrats are more unpopular than Republicans for the first time in over 30 years. They continue to be tone deaf with their support of Israel. Allowing Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and John Fetterman (D-PA) drive the party further down with their centrist policies is turning off even the most supportive Democrats.
The unprecedented uncertainty has the Department of the Tresurary warning that millions of Americans may not file their taxes. Some may never file because the refund they're expecting is going to be low.
The IRS is bracing for a $500 billion drop in revenue as an increasing number of taxpayers could skip submitting their filings in the wake of Department of Government Efficiency layoffs, according to a report.
Taxpayer behavior has changed since President Donald Trump took office and implemented sweeping federal cuts through Elon Musk’s DOGE. As a result, the IRS has “noticed an uptick of online chatter from individuals declaring their intention to not pay taxes this year,” the Washington Post reports, citing three people with knowledge of tax projections.
It added that individuals were “wagering that auditors will not examine their accounts” amid DOGE’s plans to downsize the IRS by nearly 20 percent by May 15.
New hires in taxpayer services and enforcement divisions have been targeted and the agency has dropped investigations of high-value corporations and taxpayers, according to the newspaper. The agency employs roughly 90,000 workers total across the U.S., according to the IRS data.
