Time for this damned coup to be stopped cold.

Sorry. They don’t get to subpoena anything. They’re not in charge. Like brocko said, famously, “They need to win elections!”

I’d like to see a list of communist/Marxist organizations and foundations who are funding Democrat Party members of congress and Democrats running for the first time re Congress.

You know they got nothing when he takes steps that he isn’t legally bound to take with his businesses and they say the steps are “weak” and therefore need “some serious looking into”....
