Maryland Rep. Olszewski: With all the due respect to the Speaker, that is a load of crap. Rep. elect Grijalva was duly elected. She’s ready to get sworn in any time, any place. Those 2 Floridians were sworn in the day after they were elected. This is now weeks that we’ve been waiting to swear her in

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Everyone is lying except the people we know lie to us multiple times per day

Let me be clear: Democrats are at work waiting for Republicans to wrap up their vacation and join us. It’s time for Mike Johnson to bring his caucus back, get to work, and stop playing politics with folks’ lives.

I see a lot of people saying that a person charged with a crime deserves the chance to prove their innocence.

Please stop doing this because you have it backwards and this is really important.

It is ALWAYS the government's burden to prove a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

to make the proof like it's a forgone conclusion 🙄

The Judge who's been looking at ICE's not following the consent decree requiring criminal warrants for arrests now has extended the decree until next February, which means most of those improperly arrested must be released. This from the Chicago Trib today online.

oh my god they are panicking so hard right now

Marjorie – I call bullshit. Your votes put us here, and you own it. Now that your daughter is affected, you’re suddenly concerned. Not good enough.

You’ve been hearing from your constituents all along. You never listened until it hit your own house.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

From the memory hole: There was a hostage release and ceasefire deal in place by the Biden administration 10 months ago. It was allowed to expire in March, under Donald Trump, and now it's been revived and rebranded, with Donald taking full credit like always.

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants.

They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on

The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

I see you.

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.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

OMG you are right! That's all this is about. ugh

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

it’s all just a grift

Retired healthcare revenue stream expert here. Mike Johnson is dead wrong in his statement. In no case is the Medicaid reimbursement rate (which is shockingly low) tied to immigration status. Ever.
He has intentionally incited the GOP base with an outright lie.

If you're a young pregnant American showing up at the ER the doctors aren't going to touch you for fear of losing their license and prison time and you're going to fucking bleed out in the parking lot.

Compliments of the prolife party.

This Reuters headline. Oof.
