Congressman Justin Amash (I-MI) left the Republican Party in July of last year after frustration with its enabling of President Donald Trump.

Since then, Amash has publicly taken Trump and others to task for lying, and he sided with Democrats in favor of Trump's impeachment by the House of Representatives.

Amash is at it again after Trump tried to dismiss new allegations by former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who wrote in a manuscript of his upcoming memoir that Trump sought to withhold congressionally approved aid from Ukraine until its President announced investigations into the Bidens.


Trump tweeted:

This, like 16,241 other statements made by Trump, was false.

The House committees overseeing the impeachment inquiry against Trump did seek Bolton's testimony, but Bolton said he'd only testify if subpoenaed. Hoping to avoid a drawn-out court process when inevitably challenged by the White House, the committee decided to leave it up to the Senate to subpoena Bolton.

Secondly, it most certainly is up to the Senate now. Senators have the power to vote to subpoena witnesses and every single impeachment trial has called witnesses to be deposed.

Amash wasted no time pointing out that Trump was lying.

Others agreed with his analysis.



Some thanked Amash for being one of the few non-Democrats to consistently call out Trump.



But Amash wasn't the only one to call out Trump's latest lies.




Senators Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) have said that Bolton's latest allegations bolster the case for hearing witnesses, though they haven't confirmed yet which way they'll vote when it comes time to call them.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
