Think you're missing the bigger point: He's doing VOught/Proj25's work. Why wd they end the shutdown when their #1 goal is a govt shutdown? ie destroy the govt, no depts, no agencies, fire workers, no bal.of powers, no Consti.or rule of law, for a PoliceState dictatorship &plenary (absolute) power.

I think he's just doing Vought/Proj25's bidding. It's bigger than Epstein files. Why wd they want to end the shutdown when the shutdown of the govt is their #1 goal? Destroy depts & agencies, end bal of power,rule of law, dictatorship of Exec,plenary authority. They will not end the shutdown.

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.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Every person willing to work for ICE is a disgusting pig. No exceptions. I hope all of them face consequences for ripping fellow citizens & immigrants of their rights. And soon.

My reply to all DNC fundraising emails:

"Until you stop supporting old, establishment Dems like Mills rather than Platner, and start supporting progressive candidates like Mamdani, I'll be giving to individual candidates who actually give a shit about change rather than paying lip service to it." 🖕

What bullsh*t. Nothing was accomplished but the release of hostages. That's it. Nothing's changed. Israel got what it wanted now it will take over Gaza and West Bank and got more billions in the transactional deal. Wait and watch www.vox.com/politics/395....

What’s in the Gaza ceasefire deal? And can it last?

Mockler: I think we need to spend more time talking about phase two and the actual peace deal, rather than some Nobel peace prize, when that hasn't been achieved yet.
