There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

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.
