FOX: Grijalva says you're afraid of her being the 218th signer to the Epstein petition, that if she was a Republican you would've sworn her in. What do you say?

MIKE JOHNSON: I say bless her heart. She's a representative-elect, she doesn't know how it works around here.

Well-known internet personality Robby Roadsteamer makes fun of ICE and calls them Nazis. They prove his point & come out to arrest him for trespassing after shoving him over the property line.

Just like Russia, if you protest the regime, men with guns come to take you away.

Also a reminder these weren’t “Kids”! Some of these “Young Republicans,” which includes ages up to 40, were elected officials or government appointees.

ICE agents surrounded, seized, and zip-tied a U.S. citizen who had just finished working a double shift because she didn’t “look” American to them. She had her U.S. passport on her when she was detained, yet she was interrogated for an hour.

🚨 Elise Stefanik received this award from her allies involved in the racist text messaging scandal.

Elise posed with Bobby Walker who referred to rape as “epic” and Peter Giunta who texted, “I love Hitler,” called NBA games, “monkey …ball” and Black people “watermelon people.”

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
