Rep. Adam Smith: Mike Johnson has shut down the United States House of Representatives. I'm here. Republicans are not here.... Trump will negotiate with Hamas, and Putin, and North Korea, but he won't negotiate with Democrats?

Itβs painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnsonβs covering up Jeffrey Epsteinβs global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

The 3 shutdown strategies of Mike Johnson:
1. Label many millions of peaceful protesters domestic terrorists who hate America.
2. Keep Republican Reps home.
3. Refuse to seat a swing-state, latino-American member, which also highlights his Epstein obstruction.
Pure genius.

To the extent anyone cares, the legality of tapping into tariff money is identical to the legality of tapping into federal income tax money, because they are both taxes that accrue to the treasury. Appropriations are still needed to spend it

This isn't a new insight, but: the people who are always ready to put a Black teenager on trial as an adult sure do like extending the "youth will be youth" excuse in other contextsβ not just to college students like Kavanaugh, but to, e.g., 35-year-olds on a Young Republicans group chat.
