If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:
1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?
2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?
3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.
Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.
Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

With that pending 218th vote in Congress that’s needed to release the Epstein files, Trump has never been more scared.
He’s going to escalate quickly.

This guy is such a dumb dipshit. How do you have “plenary authority” when you are using authority under power delegated by a statute (which you just cited) that contains specific conditions and limitations?? I am guessing he realized how idiotic he sounded the minute it came out of his mouth

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.
There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.
Also, release the damn Epstein files already.
