Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

Trump sabotaged President Biden’s Israel-Gaza peace deal—just like Reagan sabotaged Carter’s Iran hostage deal. History repeats, corruption runs deep, but this time, we see it happening in real time—and we will call it out! We won’t let them get away with it.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

It will never stop cracking me up that if he succeeds in getting companies to eat the tariffs he will have put new lrge scale taxes on businesses after his party telling us for decades that was absolutely terrible for the US economy. If businesses don't eat the tariffs consumers take a lg tax incrse
