Trump openly admitting if we made voting easier in America, Republicans wouldn't win elections Trump: "The things they had in there were crazy. They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."

X (formerly Twitter) is releasing new Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Media Matters for America does not accept these new terms. You can still find us elsewhere: Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and of course, at mediamatters.org, where we are still full speed ahead calling out right-wing media misinformation.

Dem senators were trying to get Americans affordable health care. Republican senators were trying to extort money from taxpayers so they could get $500k payouts. The two parties are not the same.

Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. nytimes.com/2025/11/10/us/po…

Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches (Gift Article)

Republicans have voiced outrage that Jack Smith looked at G.O.P. lawmakers’ phone records surrounding the Jan. 6 attack. Legislation to reopen the government would allow them to sue for $500,000 each.

Fox host Trey Gowdy: "We're going to have to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children. How many school shootings does it take before we're going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out of -- it's always a young white male, almost always."

ALSO ... McCONNELL gave a short speech saying “failure is not an option” and added: “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.” !!

Literally the first sentence in the video they’re responding to is Sen. Padilla identifying himself. This whole DHS statement is a lie.
Homeland Security
@DHSgov12 Jun 2025
Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem. Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately. Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting.

Remarkable chart: CBO estimates the Trump tax bill would reduce "resources" of the poorest 10% of US households by about $1,600 per year, whereas those in the top 10% would see gains of about $12,000

Steve Doocy announces he's stepping back (a bit) at Fox & Friends He'll still host 3 days a week, but not from New York -- he'll be spending more time with family, and will be based in Florida. Honestly, happy for him, this man deserves a break from Brian Kilmeade
