This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

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.

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell with white text over his shoulder: "Tariffs are taxes."

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Trump is living in fear tonight of just how bad election night will be for him next year youtu.be/gIMKOZVLTrk?...

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.”

Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

Only North Carolina Voters Can Stop the GOP Gerrymander Read more here.

NEW: North Carolina Republicans have, yet again, gerrymandered the state’s congressional districts. This time, it comes at the cost of the state’s Black voters. But there remains a path to defeating the measure, and it starts at the state’s highest court.

Horrible, disgusting, disrespectful!

There are only three Black members of Congress from North Carolina. As Republicans push to redraw the state’s congressional map, the risk of losing one and diluting the power of Black North Carolinians is high. That’s not a coincidence — it’s by design. https://bit.ly/4ou1wcg

The Preamble to the Constitution began with three magic words and they were not “I, the King.”

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

Meiselas: You’re saying to Donald Trump, to Senator Thune, to JD Vance: show up at the Capitol. We’re going to do this in front of the press and address these issues before the American people, correct?

Jeffries: That’s my position—and we’ll even let Mike Johnson into the meeting as well.

Remember when I told Virginia Foxx the truth about pro-lifers not really being pro-life? She got all offended. Is she that angry about the two children that were shot to death in their classroom today? Will she do something about it?

You know the answer.

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.

Guess we don't need PBS, NPR, comedy, universities, books, scientific research, education department, workers for farms , aid to other countries, health care, social security, weather info, aid in natural disasters, all the other stuff I forgot, but sure we need a $200 million dollar ballroom.

Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' canceled by CBS, ends May 2026 CBS is canceling “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” next May, shuttering a decades-old TV institution and removing from air one of President Donald Trump’s most prominent late-night critics

Trump’s rolling campaign of shakedown censorship, blackmail and purge has now felled the Late Show. But Stephen Colbert, a true-blue patriot and comic genius who skewers dunce-tyrants for a living, is irrepressible and invincible.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.
