Rep. Emmer: “To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase because, come January 3, 2027, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot…This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats’ lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are.”
.@SarahLongwell25: “ We didn’t win this election because voters are pumped. We did it because they’re hurting. And so the delivery of something for those people has to be real.”
.@JoePerticone: "Would you advocate for a gerrymandering ban?"
Aguilar: "Everybody should put their pens down or nobody will put their pens down. Legislatively…I will support a ban on mid-decade redistricting. But unless the president signs that into law, I'm not going to stop keeping our eyes wide open to what Republicans are going to do."
Even after their big wins, Democratic officials are still eyeing new maps—both to expand their House advantage and to warn Republicans to back off.

Rep. Aguilar: “It’s my belief that [Hakeem Jeffries] will be overwhelmingly selected to lead this caucus. I don’t lose any sleep over that. Members could have ideas and interests, and they could have asks along the way, but the outcome is not in question…He will be the next speaker.”
Rep. Lieu: "The American people saw that gas prices were rising, healthcare costs were rising, and mortgage rates were rising. And what was Trump focused on? Putting his name on stuff…And the American people said enough. They've had enough of this administration and the Republicans who enable it."
Q: “Do you plan to investigate Susie Wiles?”
Rep. Garcia: “It’s not just going to be oversight, but I think you’re going to see some action from some other committees…Just because you’re no longer in the administration and whether your name is Susie Wiles, whether it’s Kimberly Guilfoyle, whether it’s Corey Lewandowski, whether it’s Kristi Noem, you are being investigated and there needs to be accountability.”

“It’s already clear that this is not merely a story of cronyism or favoritism or even corruption. The president knew our national security was being compromised. He chose to do nothing. Indeed, he chose to do worse than nothing.”

Q: “Where do you stand on this Hegseth impeachment?”
Rep. Bacon: “It’s complicated. I’m personally not a fan of the Secretary…but also, when you read Massie’s impeachment, I don’t agree with it. There’s other areas that I think are a problem, like the firing or redlining of 80 generals and admirals…He’s held money on Ukraine that we appropriated. None of that’s in the impeachment…If we’re allowed to amend it, I’d maybe feel a little differently.”
Rep. Bacon: “The founders wanted us to be more of a check and balance [on the President]. We should’ve pushed back on tariffs…Tariffs cost us the election more than anything else in my view…Global tariffs are bad economics.”

House Dems tell the Trump administration and businesses that bent the knee to not delete docs. The Trump administration deletes docs, per whistleblower.
If you have docs or if you are being told to change your doc retention practices LET US KNOW. It's important. And we have a secure tips line here

Mike Johnson: “Thomas Massie is a disgruntled congressman and the impeachment effort [against Sec. Hegseth] is a political gambit for attention…It’s shameful.”
Q: "Vance says the Iran war was a major reason why the Republicans lost in the midterms. Do you agree?"
Hegseth: "I respect the vice president greatly and I'm certainly not going to exchange any finger pointing…I agree with what the president said when he said, 'If I had to do it again, would we do it again? Absolutely.'…It was a necessary undertaking."
Hegseth on impeachment: "These resolutions are a farce. They mock the Constitution. They attack the chain of command. And they criminalize the warfighters who execute lawful orders. This process hands our adversaries a propaganda victory."
Hegseth on impeachment: "This is not about me…This resolution is the next step. Put the secretary on trial today and the men and women who carried out those orders tomorrow."
Hegseth on impeachment: "We've seen this show before. They impeached President Trump over a perfect phone call. They impeached him again in his final week in office. Both times, they failed. Both times, he came back stronger."
.@SarahLongwell25: "This level of repudiation puts him in a place where he can't be the kingmaker that he once was. You're now seeing the two parts of their coalition, the MAGA establishment and the America First-ers…move away from Trump."
Trump: "Dana, would you like to be press secretary of the United States of America?"
Dana White: "Thank you for the offer, sir. I do not want to be in politics."
Trump on BAAJA: "The permitting bill is a great bill…We are behind it 100%."
Reporter: "And you're going to approve wind turbines in the future?"
Trump: "No, I will not approve wind turbines."
Reporter: "That's part of this deal."
Trump: "I know, but I won't approve it."
