New Congresswoman Got Reprimanded for Savaging Donald Trump From the Floor of the House, But She Has No F***s to Give

New Congresswoman Got Reprimanded for Savaging Donald Trump From the Floor of the House, But She Has No F***s to Give
C-SPAN

Hoo boy.

Freshman Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) on Tuesday tore into President Donald Trump's reckless disregard for human well-being in a fiery speech on the floor of the House of Representatives.

"I rise today in opposition to the occupant of the White House," Pressley said. "Mr. Trump, you took an oath just as I did five days ago to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people."


Pressley drove a stake through Trump:

"You devalue the life of the immigrant, the worker, and the survivor. I see right through you and so do the American people."

Watch below:

Pressley then assailed the president over the ongoing government shutdown - the third of his presidency - now on its 20th day with no end in sight.

"This has nothing to do with border security. Your shutdown, another Trump-generated crisis, brought a tsunami of hurt to the American people. So today I rise to lift the voices of the unheard. I rise today on behalf of the families concerned about feeding their children because their WIC benefits will run dry. I rise today in solidarity with the thousands of workers with calloused hands and broken spirits working for no pay. I rise today in support of the survivor fleeing violent hands, seeking safety only to find the shelter door locked because of your shutdown. I rise today in support of the American people who believe in the promise of this nation and ask for honest pay for an honest day's work. Today I rise as one and I stand as thousands."

Upon finishing her speech, Pressley was "reminded" that members are to "refrain from engaging in personalities toward the president."

Undeterred, Pressley turned to Twitter to trumpet her opposition to Trump and his holding the government and the American people hostage.

"Mr. Trump," wrote Pressley, "I see right through you and so do the American people."

Yeah we do.

Pressley's powerful words resounded on social media.

Backing down is not an option.

Welcome to The Resistance, Donald.

MAGA Fan Has Unhinged Meltdown After Starbucks Barista Doesn't Call Out 'Charlie Kirk' With Her Order

For anyone who isn't familiar with Starbucks ordering protocol, the cashier will ask for a name to put on the cup.

When the order is done, the barista will call out the name on the cup to let the customer know their order is ready. However, if there aren't many people in the store, it's not uncommon for a person to just have their drink handed to them or brought to their table if they're seated.

Melania Trump Dragged After Sharing Bizarre AI 'Teleportation' Video

The video was first shared by the X account @MelaniaMeme. In it, the digital Mrs. Trump appears to teleport into a high-rise—likely Trump Tower—with a glittering cityscape in the background. She steps forward, looks directly into the camera, glances down, then back up again, without uttering a word.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Trolls Fox News Over Their Super Bowl Outrage In 'SNL' Season Opener

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took aim at Fox News and the conservative outrage over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joking that all of his critics have "four months to learn" Spanish if they're that bothered about him singing in his native tongue during football's biggest night.

Bad Bunny will be the first Latin male artist to headline the halftime show, but many of President Donald Trump's supporters have vowed to boycott the event. At least one far-right figure said Bad Bunny "will just further divide the American people" and suggested that either the right-wing performers Kid Rock or Jason Aldean should headline the show instead.
