Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

JD Vance’s unwillingness to condemn the Nazi GOP groupchat provides the press corps yet another opportunity to probe his personal associations, and take note of how the whole administration exists to please them and make sadistic content go viral. www.offmessage.net/p/governing-...

Instead of coming to the table to work on a deal that centers the American people, Speaker Johnson canceled votes AGAIN this week.

I stand ready to get to work to lower costs and protect healthcare – just waiting on you, Mr. Speaker.

Hey, Rep. Mike Johnson! You need to RELEASE the EPSTEIN FILES to prevent children from being raped by the likes of Epstein and his "friends" (and you KNOW who we mean by "friend of Epstein").

First off, that Portland Bike Ride is an annual event, which means that it happens every year. Secondly, I find it extremely hilarious that tiny little man here is scared of naked people while protecting actual pedophiles. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

If you have MAGA in your family & friends, be sure they know about the $20M given to a foreign country, at the same time MAGA Mike claims there's no money to pay gov't workers "because the Dems shut down the gov't". America first? #MAGA, that was an empty promise, a shallow talking point. Lies.

Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.

So much for America First!

Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?

TRUMP: Just helping a great philosophy take over a great country ... we don't have to do it. It's not gonna make a big difference for our country.

The leaked chats between Young Republican leaders were obviously disgusting.

JD Vance’s efforts to downplay the scandal and complain about “pearl clutching” made an awful story worse. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

JD Vance tries to downplay leak of disgusting Young Republican chats

For the vice president to suggest it’s “pearl clutching” to condemn those who were part of a racist group chat says a great deal about his judgment.

The Epstein Files presumably include all the identifying information on accomplices (clients) in high positions whom would rather stay anonymous.

I’m so glad this came out. Those of us who live in conservative areas are well aware, but I’m not sure much of the nation realizes how openly racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. much of the right is now. Pure evil. Trump has taken the worst people and made them feel empowered to openly hate again.

Isn’t it funny that Scalise is talking about hate when his party hates America. They are taking away benefits from average Americans but giving to a select few.This is still America for now who have a right to peacefully protest for what they don’t agree with that ugly bill.The rich are benefiting
