Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva β€” because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

I continue to feel that our national experiment of making the dumbest MF in the country president was ill advised.

He betrayed his oath as a physician and sold out the country when he voted to confirm RFK Jr, knows damn well he’s a dangerous quack, but keeping Trump neutral in his primary is his highest priority.

So ... Trump rounded up, imprisoned, and deported all the "illegals" who were "stealing" our jobs, right? And yet, somehow, there are now significantly LESS jobs for Americans, lower wages, and a tanking economy.

The bird food I buy to stock my feeders has gone from $19 for a 20lb bag five months ago to more than $48 at the local hardware store today, over $50 on Amazon.

Just in case Republicans try to gaslight you on inflation today.

I'd donate to a gofundme for some enterprising soon-to-be-fired Smithsonian employee turned hero to nab that portrait Trump had removed from the Colorado State Capitol Building and relocate it to the entrance of the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery affixed with permanent adhesive.

JD Vance went to Greenland, a territory of Denmark, and gave a speech criticizing the Danish government. Implying there could be violence if Greenland and Demark didn't give in to his political demands regarding the ownership of territory.

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper.

Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

...Vance's boss, Donald Trump, is rounding up foreigners here in America, revoking their visas, and throwing them into secret prisons for doing EXACTLY the same thing.

The difference is that they're just people, NOT official representatives of a powerful government with imperial designs.

Duckworth: Pete Hegseth Needs to Resign in Disgrace | U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois The Official U.S. Senate website of Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois

Not a historian, but to my knowledge, this is the first time a sitting US Senator β€” or member of Congress, generally β€” or perhaps any senior US gov’t official β€” has included an f-bomb in an official press release.

So, do we think that Elon doesn't realize that he, as a Special Government Employee, and all of his DOGE people, are "public sector workers" - or are they just embracing their new roles as exterminators of millions?

"Trump didn't murder millions - DOGE did and wants full credit."
