'Grouchy' Trump's latest attack on top Democrat sparks outrage: 'He knows he's cooked'

President Donald Trump's latest "grouchy" attack on a top Democrat sparked outrage on social media on Sunday.

Trump posted on Truth Social that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries needs to be "impeached" over his criticisms of the Supreme Court, comparing it to the phone call that Trump had with Ukrainian officials in 2019 that got Trump impeached. Trump described Jeffries as "Low IQ," an attack he's used on other Democrats like Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Trump boils over in demand to impeach 'Low IQ' Dem: 'They'll be doing this to me!'

President Donald Trump called on Republicans to impeach House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Sunday after Jeffries criticized the Supreme Court.

Trump's comments followed a statement Jeffries released last week in which he described the Supreme Court as "illegitimate" after its decision in Louisiana v. Callais. The case struck down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racial gerrymandering. Experts have warned that the decision could disenfranchise millions of voters across the nation.

MAGA Louisiana Gov. just sent a chilling message with 'corrupt' order: expert

Louisiana's MAGA Gov. Jeff Landry, a close ally of President Donald Trump's, just sent a chilling message with his latest "corrupt" order, according to one expert.

Marc Elias, a voting rights attorney, discussed Landry's recent State of Emergency declaration, signed last week, on a new episode of "Democracy Watch" with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on Sunday. Landry's order canceled the upcoming congressional election in his state as Louisiana lawmakers work to pass a new election map. The order followed the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which found that states can politically gerrymander their maps, even if it effectively creates a racial gerrymander that was once prohibited under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Midterms could create a 'dangerous and volatile situation' if GOP suffers big loss: expert

A political expert warned on Sunday that the U.S. could face a "dangerous and volatile situation" if the GOP suffers massive losses in the upcoming midterm election, as some have predicted.

Red state thrust into chaos as voters now don't even know if there's an election coming

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry suspended the state's primaries in response to the Supreme Court decision putting new limits on the use of the Voting Rights Act, to give Republicans time for a potential redraw of their congressional districts — and in so doing, created a firestorm of chaos that put all the upcoming elections in flux.

According to Politico, "Local election heads are convening open meetings to educate voters about the change," but candidates have no idea when the primary will be and, in the case of congressional seats, which district they'll be running in if a redraw occurs.

'Oppressed': Bannon attacks protections for Black voters in rant

MAGA strategist Steve Bannon asserted that a law empowering Black voters had "oppressed" Southern states since the days of the Civil Rights movement.

During his Friday War Room broadcast, Bannon reacted to the Supreme Court's decision that rolled back Voting Rights Act protections for Black and Latino voters. The ruling effectively gutted the law by declaring majority-minority districts to be unconstitutional and paved the way for additional white Republican representatives in the South, something he argued the GOP would need to retain its majority and control of Congress.

President Donald Trump has been briefed by “several senior administration officials” that Iran is “keenly aware” of the leverage it holds over the president as the conflict drags on, Zeteo reported on Friday.
