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.

Hey Mike Johnson, America has a question for you: What would be someone's motivation for covering-up for a pedophile?

There's only a couple answers:
• Either you're guilty of the same crimes, or
• The accused party is blackmailing you for other very serious crimes you've committed.

Which is it?

Umm, wasn't Mike Johnson at the Capitol on January 6th? Didn't he lead the objection to the certification of the election?

He thinks Portland, OR is the most threatening? WTH?

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

OK, I had a lot of behind-the-scenes, admin work to get done today.

I’ll be at SCOTUS in the morning, covering another effort from the right to kill off what little is left of the Voting Rights Act.

Even though we’ll be out of state visiting family this weekend, we’re still showing up.
With over 2,500 events planned, it was super easy to find one nearby.

No thrones. No crowns. No kings.

No excuses.

Let’s go!!!

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

Multiple sources tell NPR that as part of the Trump administration's latest reduction-in-force, the U.S. Department of Education has gutted the office that handles special education.
