If he’s happy, I’m happy. #BillsMafia

You know the weather is awful when you are seriously looking forward to it being 30 degrees.

After President Trump tells his AG to "look into" Jack Smith, Rep. Balint asks "Mr. Smith, do you believe President Trump's DOJ will find some way indict you? Smith: "I believe they will do everything in their power to do that because they've been ordered to by the President."

I would love someone to explain to me how you look at the Bills on field product this season and determine that the coach was more to blame than the GM. #BillsMafia

Already headed home from Copenhagen but one more note before I go.. GO BILLS! (I’ll be in the air for most of the game.. 😬) #BillsMafia

Else Hatmann has little faith in Congress.. “No, I'm sorry, I'm not, I don't think so. It, it was not Republican. It was only two who Trump don't even listen to… There are so many fake, and stupid things outside there. “

Last night I interviewed both Sen. Chris Coons (D) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R)- who hoped to reassure the people of the Danish Kingdom. Murkowski: “We as individual senators in the US Senate and in the House… we too have our views about, about Greenland.”

I spoke with Flemming Almind.. a 57 year old Danish man who had never participated in a protest before today. He served in the Danish military and said he always “looked up” to the USA… but now he worries “that there's no one who has spoke up really and done something about it.”

We spent the morning at a massive protest in downtown Copenhagen.. an estimated 10k Danes met at city hall and marched to the US Embassy to send a message to Donald Trump that Greenland is not for sale.

RIGHT NOW- A bipartisan group of American members of Congress are meeting with Danish members of parliament over Donald Trump’s threats to take over Greenland.

JUST IN: Now that Hillary Clinton has officially missed her scheduled deposition this morning as part of the Congressional Epstein investigation, House Oversight Chair James Comer says the committee will move to place both her and her husband Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress next Wednesday.

Outside of Superman Josh Allen.. the MVP of that game was Tre’ White.. three game changing plays on a day when they zero defensive back depth. He has had a hell of a season. #BillsMafia

Guess what America? The window is still very much open. 😉 #BillsMafia

NEW- on GREENLAND.. powerful Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker (R) just left a meeting with the representative from Greenland and the Danish ambassador and made it clear he DOES NOT support any U.S. attempt to acquire the country.

JUST IN: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz officially announces that he will not seek re-election in 2026. He will complete his term. "I've decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work."

DOJ must release Epstein files by Friday or risk repercussions, law's co-author says. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

NEW: Rep. Mike Lawler tells me Speaker Johnson should bring the 3 year ACA extension for a vote BEFORE they leave for the holiday break. “I think it should. I think we should have an up or down vote before we leave.”

NEW: Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) has signed the discharge petition for a three year ACA subsidy extension. The petition still needs three more signatures.

Rep MTG tells me Trump’s comments on Rob Reiner were “atrocious, especially in the violent times we are all living in.” She goes on to say we don’t need to make a “declaration” if we agree with someone during a tragedy. “it’s the easiest thing in the world to say this is awful.”

JUST IN: The House Oversight Committee has postponed the planned depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton from this week to January 13th and 14th due to scheduling conflicts. Chair Comer makes it clear he still expects them to appear.

The rest of the NFL better hope the Buffalo Bills don’t figure out how to play 4 quarters. #BillsMafia

Turns out Huey Lewis is not in Die Hard.

BREAKING: House Oversight Dems release a new photos from the Epstein Estate featuring powerful men. The photos do not show any criminal activity but demonstrate the relationship Epstein had with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Woody Allen and Steve Bannon. www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Watch out world.. it’s Bills Time. #BillsMafia

The MOST wonderful time of the year!

Thrilled to get the chance to fill in on NBC’s “Here’s the scoop” podcast. We talk Tennessee, a lawsuit going after food companies over dyes and over processing.. and of course Spotify’s “unwrapped”! LISTEN: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

WATCH: Sen. Warner says instead of conducting strikes, the Trump administration should “interdict the darn boats” and prove that the individuals on the suspected vessels are indeed narco-terrorists.   My full interview on @MeetThePress Now: www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre...

I need to be completely honest.. I had no idea McDonalds extra value meals went away.

JUST IN: Lindsay Halligan's appointment ruled invalid.. Indictment of former FBI Director James Comey dismissed without prejudice

WATCH: This interview I did with MTG on October 8th is pretty telling. She never commits to staying in Congress and demonstrates how frustrated she is with the state of American politics.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin tells me threats against her have exploded since President Trump accused her and colleagues of sedition. “The Sergeant of Arms arranged for us to have 24/7 security, and that's because the threat level just went through the roof.”

🧵 There is quite the scene outside the U.S. Capitol as firefighters have responded to fire involving a subway car in the Rayburn tunnel. We happened upon it while walking to a story.

Nothing.. and I mean nothing.. happens this quickly and this bi-partisan in this version of Congress. It is a signal of how overwhelmingly popular transparency is around the Epstein controversy and politicians who stand in the way of it- do so at their own peril.

BREAKING: Senator Chuck Schumer asked for unanimous consent to pass the resolution to force the DOJ to release Epstein files the second it is sent over by the House. No one objected and it will now pass the Senate as soon as it arrives.

Also- despite Speaker Johnson’s pleas to amend the Epstein resolution, Leader Thune said that was unnecessary. “Well, I think when a bill passes the House for 427 to 1 and the president said he'll sign into law, I’m not sure there is a need for amendments.”

JUST IN: Majority Leader Thune said the Senate is “hotlining” (the process by which they see how Senators would vote) on the Epstein resolution and a vote should happen this week maybe even today.

BREAKING: The House has passed the resolution to force the DOJ to release the Epstein files 427-1.

JUST IN: Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he will immediately move to pass the resolution to force the DOJ to release the Epstein files via unanimous consent once it passes the House today.

As the House prepares to vote on a resolution to force the DOJ to release the Epstein files- Speaker Mike Johnson is about to speak to reporters and has this visual to demonstrate his concerns about the bill. Could this slow the bill’s progress?

NEW: Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) tells me he thinks the Epstein resolution should come to the Senate floor and that he would vote yes.

NEW: House officially schedules vote on the Epstein resolution for TUESDAY afternoon.

Former Rep. Elaine Luria’s campaign says she has raised $500k in the first 24 hours since she launched her effort to win back the house seat she lost in 2022 to current Rep. Jen Kiggans.

Good Morning. Your government is open for business.

BREAKING: The House has passed the funding bill to re-open the federal government, ending the longest shutdown in American history. The final vote was 222-209. 6 Democrats voted YES.

RIGHT NOW: The House is voting on the bill to fund the federal government through the end of January and end the recording breaking government shutdown.

JUST IN: Adelita Grijalva of Arizona officially sworn in as a Member of the House of Representatives. She won the special election in Arizona on September 23rd.
