RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

282 Ex DOJ officials open letter: “We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it”

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

No corruption here, folks! Totally normal stuff the deputy director of the CIA(Michael Ellis) just demoted the acting general counsel and decided to make himself the top lawyer while still being the No. 2 in charge.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

These are the "law enforcement" tactics federal agents are using in Chicago. Their car is obstructed by a moped so they tear gas the entire neighborhood.

Unacceptable in America.

Trump and Johnson are prepared to double our health care premiums and keep the government closed just to keep MAGA corruption and their war on the working middle class going. Democrats say no way. Cancel the cuts, expand health care and restore government to the people.

Judge Poised to Free Abrego Garcia if Officials Can’t Supply Deportation Plans

The Trump admin has lied about this case from the start — and now it can't get its story straight about next steps for Mr. Abrego Garcia.

This reeks of a political prosecution and the courts must continue to ensure his due process rights are protected.

blah blah on Fox re how great it is to get real masculinity back in charge! huh? Real men who are so scared they wear masks, slam women to the
floor, break into apartments & tie up women & children. Then masculine Speaker gives
HOUSE a vacation out of deep fear of Epstein files.
Cowards all.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Mr. Trump said "We could have much better health care than we have right now."

No kidding.

20+ million will see their premiums double. 15 million thrown off health care entirely.

Pres. Trump, in case you didn’t know, this is what the shutdown is about.

End your health care cuts.

Understand what they are doing: using the massive power of the state - including military power and the power to imprison - to carry out a campaign to eliminate their political opposition.

It's growing in seriousness by the hour.

Burbank Airport will have no air traffic controllers Monday evening, FAA warns Burbank Airport is bracing for impacted operations as air traffic controllers begin to call out in greater numbers due to the government shutdown.

Thanks, Donald Trump!

Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

This is an Epstein shutdown

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

As an educator, why’s is Oklahoma last in K12 student education??? Follow the money 💰

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."
