Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I believed in crashing the system and I thought Trump was the vehicle—boy, was I wrong"​



MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: That's actually a misconception. Literally my entire time in Congress, I was aligned with Thomas Massie, and our voting records are very similar. As a matter of fact, he was one of my best allies and best friends the entire time I served there, and we worked together on many issues. That was before Trump was elected in 2024.

So I stood sort of in both camps, I would say. I never was a big Republican Party person. As a matter of fact, I never was elected before I won in 2020 for Congress. I never even went to my county GOP meetings. I didn't know anybody. I was actually angry at Republicans when I ran for Congress, and I attacked them constantly. And I didn't align with Democrats at all, so I attacked them as well.

I would say, if I describe myself best, I was very naive to the entire political process because I had no experience in it. But I was angry. I was just completely angry at the government, just totally outraged by the government.

Supreme Court rejects Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship​


The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected President Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, ruling that he does not have the power to unilaterally overturn the long-standing constitutional principle that guarantees citizenship to just about all children born in the United States.

The 6-3 decision was the last one issued on the final day of the court's term. Three conservatives — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh — joined liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson in denying Trump's proposed limits.

Five of the justices in the majority held that the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, is settled law.

"Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community," Roberts wrote in the 26-page majority opinion. "The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land.' … We keep that promise today."

US Supreme Court rebuffs Trump's appeal in E. Jean Carroll case

WASHINGTON, June 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear President Donald Trump's bid to overturn a $5 million verdict in favor of E. Jean Carroll in a case in which a jury found him liable for sexually ‌abusing the former magazine columnist and then defaming her.

The justices turned away Trump's appeal after a lower court upheld the 2023 ‌jury verdict and rejected Trump's arguments that the trial was unfair because the judge impermissibly let jurors hear evidence of his alleged past sexual misconduct.

Trump has been battling Carroll, a former advice columnist for Elle magazine, ever since she published an excerpt from her memoir in 2019 in which she alleged that Trump had raped her around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan. Trump denied Carroll's claims and asserted that she lied about the accusations both in 2019 while he was still serving his first term as president, and again in 2022 when he was out of office.

Perry Calls For Repeal of 17th Amendment and Give State Legislatures Power to Elect Senators​


There are 27 amendments in the United States Constitution that have served as the bedrock for the American Republic for 250 years.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-10) wants to repeal one of them.

The Capitol Region Republican has signed on as a co-sponsor to Rep. Keith Self’s (R-Texas) resolution (H.J.Res.198) to repeal the 17th Amendment and restore the Founders’ original vision for the United States Senate by returning the selection of U.S. Senators to state legislatures.

The 17th Amendment, ratified in 1913, allows voters to cast direct votes for U.S. senators. Prior to its passage, senators were chosen by state legislatures.

“The current system has given us six-year politicians more focused on national ambitions and the institution of the U.S. Senate than on the states they serve,” said Self. “Our Founding Fathers designed the Senate to protect state sovereignty and act as a check on federal overreach. If senators are supposed to represent their states, then the states should choose them. Repealing the 17th Amendment will restore that constitutional balance and make the Senate more accountable to the people of Texas and every other state in the union.”

It's amazing these dead-to-begin-with ideas get past an editor's desk.
