The House Democrats last night brought the Arizona-elect representative into the Speaker office chanting "swear her in". Her election was certified but Johnson refused to swear her in because of the Epstein files. Mike Johnson needs to be Impeached for treason at this point.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

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.

Edward II of England was deposed and placed in permanent captivity at Berkeley Castle in 1327, where legend tells us he was murdered by a red-hot poker up the bum – perhaps in reference to his supposed homosexual relations with his past favourite, Gaveston. Or possibly because it left no trace.

Farage and Gill parroted the same Russian propaganda, and both were connected to Russia. They were on the same team - Team Putin. One was paid to carry out Russia's commands. What about the other?

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?
