Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being β€œdenied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

The whole Epstein thing’s got the criminal rattled.

Listen to him, stumbling around trying to answer a question about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell. And he’s trying so hard not to show it.

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Ex-special counsel John Durham undercut case against James Comey in interview with prosecutors: Sources John Durham, who investigated the Russia probe, told prosecutors probing James Comey that had been unable to uncover evidence supporting charges against him, sources say.

NEW: "No career prosecutor was willing to present the case to a grand jury on Halligan's behalf." lol WONDER WHY! abcnews.go.com/US/special-c...

SCHIFF: If a video exists of Homan taking $50k in bribe money from the FBI, will you support a request to provide it to the committee?

BONDI: You can talk to Director Patel about that

SCHIFF: I'm talking to you about it


BONDI: Will you apologize to Donald Trump?

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: β€œIf we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

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.

A Hollow Man and His Army of Mirrors Trump doesn’t lead the militaryβ€”he feeds on it.

He does not see soldiers as human beings. He sees props. He sees optics. He sees mirrors reflecting the hero he has always failed to become.

It is not insurrection to disagree with the president.
It is not insurrection to call the president a soulless piece of shit.
It is not insurrection to say a damp dishcloth would be a less destructive occupant of the Oval Office.
It is not insurrection to demand a better president.
