Trump’s USA The Future of the Republicans

Trump after the vote: Massie is a big loser

Donald Trump states that every Republican voted in favor of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in the U.S. House of Representatives last night. He wrote this on Truth Social.

“Every single Republican, except for Thomas Massie—who is a big loser—voted for Pete.”

Massie, a Republican lawmaker critical of the MAGA movement, sought to remove Hegseth, citing his role in U.S. wars and military interventions in Iran, Yemen, and Venezuela.

211 members voted against impeaching Hegseth, while 204 voted in favor. Trump took the opportunity to praise Hegseth for his service and accused the Democrats of “weaponizing the United States.” 

Democrats vow to expose an “avalanche of corruption” under Trump

Congressional Democrats have pledged to subject President Donald Trump to rigorous scrutiny, the *Financial Times* reports.

“We are facing an avalanche of corruption and fraud throughout the Trump administration. It’s hard to know where to start,” says Jamie Raskin, who is expected to be named chair of the House Judiciary Committee.

The overarching priority, he says, is to restore “law and order and constitutional governance.” The list of concerns includes Trump’s vast business interests—which have expanded as a result of his own decisions—as well as political allies he has pardoned and friendly corporations that have been exempted from tariffs. 

President Trump denies any wrongdoing and has ordered the Justice Department to investigate the Democrats “who are threatening a lot of people,” according to Reuters.
