Shameful . These 10 so-called democrats are part of the reason this country is in the state it is. Stand united or get out.
Emily Singer at Daily Kos:
The House on Thursday censured Rep. Al Green, passing a resolution that said the Texas Democrat's protest at President Donald Trump's lie-filled congressional address this week "was a breach of proper conduct." Worse, 10 House Democrats joined 214 Republicans to vote to censure Green. Green and another Democrat, Rep. Shomari Figures of Alabama, voted present. (Four other Democrats did not vote.) Johnson ejected Green from Trump's Tuesday speech after he stood in the chamber and said Trump had "no mandate" to cut Medicaid—which Trump and Republicans are trying to do in order to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The vote came amid chaos on the House floor, with Green and other Democrats singing “We Shall Overcome” as House Speaker Mike Johnson read the resolution. After that, Democrats shouted about the double standard given to Green, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wore a MAGA hat during Tuesday’s speech, which is not allowed on the House floor.
[...] Just three of the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Green come from districts Trump carried in 2024—Reps. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, and Tom Suozzi of New York. Suozzi said he thought Green’s protest was “inappropriate.” “I’m an old-school traditional type guy, I think we should be treating the president with deference,” Suozzi said. The rest come from districts Harris won in 2024, including Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, and Jared Moskowitz of Florida. The censure resolution was spearheaded by Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, who had been in Trump’s crosshairs after he voted to impeach Trump for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The censure resolution could be Newhouse’s way of getting back in Trump’s good graces, as Trump was enraged by Green’s protest.
The House voted 224-194 to successfully censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) over his justified “you have no mandate to cut Medicaid” shout at Donald Trump at the joint address Tuesday. Even worse, 10 Democrats sold out to MAGA’s weaponization of freedom of speech by disgracefully voting to censure Green. These 10 should be primaried and censured by their local parties for this.
The disgraceful 10 “Democrats” voting to censure Green:
Ami Bera
Ed Case
Jim Costa
Laura Gillen
Jim Himes
Chrissy Houlahan
Marcy Kaptur
Jared Moskowitz
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Tom Suozzi

The Guardian: Ten Democrats join Republicans to vote to censure Al Green over Trump speech
I just wonder what their weird obsession is with trans people. It is like they have this problem seeing a male enjoying life dressed as a pretty and attractive woman and they lust for it. But they are fine with Vance wearing eyeliner and tRump in makeup... I think they are afraid because they secretly get off on it.
Orion Rummler and Kate Sosin at The 19th:
Federal agencies are carrying out executive orders from President Donald Trump that all share a common goal: removing transgender and nonbinary people from public life wherever possible. Through restricting access to accurate federal identity documents, threatening to withhold hospitals’ federal funding over gender-affirming care, and erasing trans history on federal websites and in schools, the Trump White House is using the federal government as a tool to make it harder for trans Americans to live openly — and safely — without fear of harassment and discrimination. Many of these policies are based on Trump’s promise, made during his inauguration speech, that his administration will recognize only “two genders, male and female.” That promise was signed into an executive order on day one of his presidency. LGBTQ+ rights attorneys are fighting back. Ten lawsuits have been taken up against the Trump administration’s anti-trans policies so far, and four have resulted in temporary restraining orders that pause enforcement. In court, federal judges are regarding Trump’s anti-trans executive orders with skepticism and, in some instances, outright disdain. Through it all, trans Americans are experiencing chaos and confusion — as well as fear and despair — as a result of these policies. This push to erase trans identity isn’t new. For years, Republican state lawmakers across the country have introduced laws to stop transgender adults and minors from being legally recognized in public life, to redefine legal definitions of sex to exclude trans people, and to block them from the health care and identity documents that they need. Now, that effort is being pursued by a sitting president. As The 19th covers how this administration is impacting women and LGBTQ+ people, we will be closely reporting on the anti-trans policies enacted by the Trump administration and their effects nationwide. Here are the key anti-trans policies enacted by the Trump White House and their impact so far.
Passports denied | School censorship | Gender-affirming care restrictions | Banning trans girls from school sports | Military ban reinstated | Erasing trans history and resources | Funding slashed for LGBTQ+ programs | Treatment of trans people in federal prison
The State Department is blocking new passports for trans and nonbinary Americans. U.S. passports with “X” gender markers will no longer be issued, although the agency has stated that existing passports with an “X” marker are valid until replaced or expired. In practice, this means that trans people trying to obtain passports with a gender marker that matches their physical appearance, gender identity and other identity documents are being rejected. Trans men and transmasculine people are receiving passports back from the agency that declare them to be women, while trans women and transfeminine people are getting passports that state they are male.

President Trump has directed the federal government to begin a campaign to monitor and influence K-12 curriculum. This includes eliminating federal funding for schools that promote “indoctrination” based on “gender ideology and discriminatory equity ideology.” This directive isn’t new, although it uses new language. Since 2020, Republicans in red states have tried to restrict teaching critical race theory, Black history, intersectionality and social justice — and bills to restrict how teachers can discuss gender identity and sexual orientation are intertwined with this effort. Florida’s curriculum censorship law, nicknamed “Don’t Say Gay” by LGBTQ+ advocates, is likely the most well-known example of state LGBTQ+ education restrictions. Trump’s order also prohibits recognition of students’ gender identity, such as by using their correct pronouns, and exposes teachers and staff who support trans students to legal actions by the attorney general. It threatens federal funding for schools that allow trans students to use restrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity, as well as schools that “deliberately conceal” a child’s trans identity from their parents.

Hospitals in blue states like Massachusetts and New York, where gender-affirming care is protected under state law, stopped providing that care to trans adolescents and young trans adults following an executive order signed by Trump in late January. That’s according to a lawsuit against the administration by major LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. Two federal judges have temporarily blocked enforcement of Trump’s order — but health care access for young trans people in the United States is still largely uncertain. Some clinics have yet to resume services. Others have taken steps to remove public references to the trans health services that they do still offer, to avoid government scrutiny and federal funding cuts. In other cases, trans patients are being denied equal treatment while still technically receiving the same services. [...]
After Trump signed an executive order seeking the Justice Department’s help to enforce a ban on trans girls playing sports with other girls in school, the largest college sports governing body quickly fell in line. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has banned trans women student-athletes from competing in women’s sports, following Trump’s order threatening federal funds for schools that allow trans girls on girls’ teams. But to Trump’s allies, and his government, that doesn’t go far enough. The Education Department has urged the NCAA, as well as the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), to strip titles, records and awards from transgender women who have competed in women’s sports, per NBC News. [...]
As part of Trump’s mandate against “gender ideology,” public health data was quickly removed from federal government websites. That included decades of HIV research, data on the mental health of girls and LGBTQ+ youth, and information on tobacco use among LGBTQ+ people. Some of these webpages have since reappeared in response to public outcry and a federal judge’s order that they be restored. [...]
LGBTQ+ nonprofits say that their services for vulnerable community members are threatened by the Trump administration’s push to pause federal funding, as well as the administration’s specific effort to revoke federal funding related to trans people.
This piece in The 19th News highlights all the ways the evil Trump Misadministration is erasing trans people from public existence, such as gender-affirming care bans for those under 19, websites erasing trans contributions, gender markers no longer allowed to have an “X”, and bans on trans women from women’s sports.
The FACT that every Republican in Congress is supporting this vile creature and the orange makeup Putin puppet tells you everything you need to know about the new Republican party. There are no members of the Republican party that are colleagues across the aisle... They are all spineless traitors to the Constitution. Stop treating them as respected colleagues. Stop working with ANY of them.
Fact check on tRump lies
Democrats better start fighting or I am switching to be Independent as will many others.
Time to wake up before it's too late
Push it. Making a new MAGA.
