🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

Just a reminder that — in the middle of a shutdown — House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid," JD Vance. We checked.

By scanning public records and media reports, Mother Jones determined the ages of eight of the 11 participants in the abhorrent leaked texts from young Republicans that Politico covered on Tuesday: They appear to range from 24 to 35.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

The world is full of young men who lived dissolute lives, who think as they approach middle age, that ideological rigidity and moral posturing are the path back to self-respect and redemption.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons to believe that Donald Trump is a fool.

But the fact that it took almost a decade for him to figure out that Putin has been playing him for one is as good as any.

They don’t know what’s in the legislation they just voted for

Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Adam Wren @adamwren SCOOP: The Trump admin plans to release the audio of Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. It’s expected to be made to the news site Axios before others were to receive the hours-long recording, the people said. W/ @DashaBurns

so to be clear about what happened here, the Trump White House released audio meant to make Joe Biden look bad to Axios hours after the US's credit rating was downgraded.

Trump wanted a distraction and the usual suspects in the press are happy to oblige.

The fact that he’s sitting in the White House is proof he isn’t wrong about that.

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

“Kimmel rolled a super cut of Hegseth using the word ‘leakers’ repeatedly, ending with him saying, ‘I don’t have time for leakers.’

“‘You don’t have time for leakers?’ Kimmel repeated in disbelief. ‘You are the leaker!’”

Referring to this freak show of sycophants, incompetents and grifters as an “administration” just doesn’t feel quite right.

Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is boasting on the front page of The Wall Street Journal that, “Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. There’s nothing to talk about here.” This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia in that Crimea was lost years ago under the auspices of President Barack Hussein Obama, and is not even a point of discussion. Nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory but, if he wants Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired? The area also houses, for many years before “the Obama handover,” major Russian submarine bases. It’s inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy’s that makes it so difficult to settle this War. He has nothing to boast about! The situation for Ukraine is dire — He can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country. I have nothing to do with Russia, but have much to do with wanting to save, on average, five thousand Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, who are dying for no reason whatsoever. The statement made by Zelenskyy today will do nothing but prolong the “killing field,” and nobody wants that! We are very close to a Deal, but the man with “no cards to play” should now, finally, GET IT DONE. I look forward to being able to help Ukraine, and Russia, get out of this Complete and Total MESS

And there it is. Trump comes out in favor of codifying Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea and blames Zelenskyy for Putin’s aggression.

The problem is that those of us who believe in the Constitution and the Rule of Law keep expecting the bad guys to play by the rules and act with honor. That ain’t happening, folks.

I agree. If the President refuses to fire him, the President should resign. Better still, the President should fire him and then the President should resign.

In case you hadn't noticed:

Play list for Trump devotees should include: “If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don’t Want to Be Right,” “Rather Lie,”“Reckless,” and “Love the Way You Lie.” What else?

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

They're eating the checks, they're eating the balances. Sign held by a Bill

One more incredibly creative protester ...
