Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

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.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

Very concerning, if true.

Remember, the Nazis who want to send you to the gas chambers also demand you never mock them.

Are you one of the millions of people heading to a No Kings Day rally today?

Be peaceful. Have fun. Build solidarity.

Heather and I discuss some things to keep in mind as you hit the streets.

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

Mitch McConnell and the shameless Senate republicans stole two Supreme Court seats. He voted no to convict Donald Trump of inciting the Jan6 insurrection. Mitch McConnell can burn in hell.

I have absolutely no pity nor sympathy for Mitch McConnell, he’s one of the most evil corrupt beings on the planet who destroyed our Supreme Court and led this country to the disastrous train wreck we are in today.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

Thou Shalt Not Shoot Priests in the Head I shouldn’t have to say these things.

Thou shalt not shoot priests in the head. I shouldn’t have to say this.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

Noah catalogued every living animal in pairs and was hyperfocused on boats.

Don’t tell me autism started with Tylenol.

It would be a shame for you to share it

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return!
Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY.

(Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

As I was saying…

The MAGA movement is a virulent cancer on its way to metastasize.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

They claim autocracy isn’t their plan, but they sure are governing like there is never going to be a Democratic president again.

The reason behind the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel by Disney is really messy.

Nexstar, which controls about 32 ABC affiliate channels is seeking FCC approval for a merger with Teena for $6.2 billion.

The FCC has become highly politicised under MAGA.

Hypercapitalism /fascism? Same same.

This isn’t just! It’s unconstitutional! It’s hypocritical! It’s immoral! It’s illegal! It’s wrong! It’s unprecedented!

They don’t care about any of those things.

They laugh at handwringing.

It’s about acquiring & wielding power.

You can’t shame them, you have to defeat them.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

ABC is a national disgrace. Indie media forever.

Trump says he’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization | CNN Politics President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday mor...

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

Disney needs to be punished for their cowardice of firing Jimmy Kimmel to appease the orange gangster. We should all boycott Disney----which admitedly sucks, considering I'm a huge Star Wars and Marvel fan. 😡
