Mike Johnson is illegally refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva who won a seat in the fed house. He says he won't do it until Democrats reopen to government. That's a lie. The senate Republicans can waive the Filibuster, 50 votes to do that, and voilà. Johnson doesn't want Epstein files released.

Phang: We know that there is a move by 99% of the Republicans locked step with Trump and countless still unidentified billionaires and politicians to keep this from moving forward. How do we know? Because Speaker Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in Arizona Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva…

What fucking country is this?!

In the last week, Donald Trump has insisted that there are no more stores left in war-ravaged Portland, asserted that Joe Biden was president during the January 6th insurrection, hosted conspiracy theorists for an "Antifa" summit, and said he'd consider pardoning his good friend the sex trafficker.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen? VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer B: But this was a WH decision

A second generation nepo baby, raised by a pair of sociopaths and given every advantage in the world. I'm sure this story will end well.

The pictures of the survivors of the Genocide in Gaza are astounding. There needs to be trials for war crimes. #gaza #econsky #genocide

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Proving my point that the GOP is failing on every point to blame the Dems.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

GOP senators or house reps are lying about the #GovernmentShutdown. 2 key facts: 1) Spkr Mike Johnson won't call back the house because it also means releasing the Epstein Files 2) The senate could vote down the filibuster rule to pass the bill with a simple GOP majority. Dems need to hold firm.

GOP Senator Roger Marshall. Anti-semitic troll of the day. Enough with the Soros nonsense. Oh, and in case Marshall's little boys in short pants read this, I'm Canadian Antifa.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of." One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

The Insurrection Act and Martial Law are different. The main difference between them is whether we have constitutional rights or not. You have freedom of movement under the Insurrection Act. Under Martial Law, you have no rights. We need to understand these nuances. They will be used against us.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Yes. This is 1933 redux. And no, that's not hyperbole. Trump and his inner circle are reusing the playbook.

Bondi is very anti-American. She also understands the constitution, which makes her a more dangerous insider threat.

KLOBUCHAR: Has the DOJ issued any subpoenas to journalists under the updated guidance? BONDI: ... KLOBUCHAR: You can respond BONDI: ... ... I can't comment

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

COONS: How did you conclude that these strikes on boats in the open ocean are legal? BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any legal advice that my department may or may not have issued

Why on earth are we debating tax dollars for a new pipeline to the west coast from Alberta when the current super-pipeline, TMX (Trans Mountain), is not even running at half capacity? No one is stepping up from industry to own it. This is the kicker: world demand is dropping, prices matching.

I agree. And I enjoin you to #resistfascists

What this noted racist and misogynist doesn't want Americans to know is that he and Trump are illegally diverting funds for Democratic states as approved by Congress. This act is in violation of the constitution. Full stop. He, Vance, Trump, are lying about the shutdown. x.com/russvought/s...

And American Jews voted for this crap??? What's the saying? What goes around, comes around? Sigh... good luck, America. You're saddled with a dumbass.

ICE is out of control. They must be reined in.

Just so I understand- two different U.S. Veterans with assault rifles committed mass shootings this weekend but FBI is only investigating one? That's because they are fitting it into Trump's delusional "Christianity is under attack" narrative & in North Carolina, a BAR was under attack.

Did anyone else see Netanyahu's speech to the UN assembly simulcast in Gaza and the West Bank on loudspeakers as big parallel with President Snow's Hunger Games speech? 🤔

I never much liked Comey, but charges? Criminal charges? Man, Comey will rake it in after he files his lawsuit.

DHS itself has confirmed that the victims were detainees but Noem and Vance have already jumped to reframe the attack as anti-law enforcement violence.

Hegseth now wants the press to cover-up his mistake. He's issuing an anti-freepress edict that journalists can only publish press releases issued by the DoD, or lose their creds and face prosecution. #FreeSpeech... sure.

Nothing screams “small government, free speech warrior” like the FCC chair rocking state-mandated jewelry of a convicted felon. Brendan Carr went from pretending to guard the First Amendment to cosplaying as Trump’s mall cop.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Walz on Trump saying he's not familiar with Melissa Hortman's assassination: "Nothing surprises me. There's no compassion, there's no empathy in this man, and there's no sense of governing for the whole country ... he's doing nothing to improve people's lives."
