"Jeffrey Epstein called Trump โ€œborderline insaneโ€ in a 2018 email exchange with Lawrence H.

House Oversight Republicans release new trove of Epstein documents. In 2018, Epstein told Larry Summers, then President of Harvard that Trump was borderline insane and Dershowitz was close to that border.

If the Giants can fire their leader, does that mean there's hope for Democrats?

I'm still thinking about this one:

Add some things to the Presidential oath of office which specifically call out separation of powers, presidents are not kings, and ....?

No Presidential immunity, state or federal

Calling something a "Department" which is not Congressionally approved, or calling a Department by other than it's Congressionally approved name, is a misdemeanor. High crimes misdemeanors are punishable by impeachment.

Fix 22 Amendment to prevent ascension to President by an otherwise unqualified House Speaker. Prohibit an unqualified person from appearing on any ballot for President.

Legislation implementing 14th Amendment ยง3. SCOTUS used the lack of such legislation to prevent CO from removing 45 from the ballot.

Presidential recall by petition, but only after 6 months in office, minimum 15% (25%?) of total votes cast in the election which elected that president. Signatures verified by states. No geographic requirement for distribution of signatures.

Party Breakdown A breakdown of the parties in the U.S. House of Representatives

Currently in the House:
219 R
213 D
0 independents
3 vacancies

See pressgallery.house.gov/member-data/...

219 + 213 + 3 = 435

435/2 = 217.5

218 is a majority.

All 213 D and 4 R want the discharge petition per clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...

A. Grijalva is #218. TN-07 doesn't cancel Grijalva.

Time to chuck Chuck. He's not the man for the moment. Any amount of outrage without leadership change is useless to us as a democracy right now.

This is an insult to every person who showed up for NO KINGS, everyone who voted last Tuesday, everyone who stands up to ICE, every judge who has held the legal line, every small town person who stands up week after week in their red rural area with their signs saying โ€œVote Blueโ€. THEY LET US DOWN

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

With a โ€œWOW!,โ€ President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and โ€œroyalties linked to Obamacareโ€ that originated on a satirical website. That siteโ€™s own About section reads: โ€œEverything on this website is fictionโ€ฆ If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.โ€

What? A follow-up question? That might approach real journalism! That reporter might lose his access! Can't have that! The reporter already risked much by asking the question that he did.

Yes, I am being sarcastic.

๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ WATCH: The U.S. government doesnโ€™t track how often immigration agents detain citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 incidents since the start of Trumpโ€™s second term. Americans have been kicked, dragged and held for days without access to lawyers.

He's building a gold-guilded ballroom to host the foreign officials who come to bribe him, while denying millions of hungry kids food. Just how thuddingly obvious, how over-the-top, how florid & theatrical does this story have to get before the media starts honestly telling it?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I heard it was going to be called "The Epstein Ballroom" and I will continue to call it that until we get an official denial that it is going to be called The Epstein Ballroom and all the Epstein files have been released.
