Good fucking morning to everyone except House Speaker Mike Johnson, who’s refusing to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva to block the Epstein files discharge petition—because Grijalva would be the deciding vote. Shameful for him to cover up for pedophiles and sex traffickers.

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you.

Hotline callers were saying, “I do not want to be part of pointing a gun at US citizens and maybe shooting it.”
Is the US military poised to experience a new surge in conscientious objectors?
