🚨BREAKING: Former special counsel Jack Smith is calling Republicans' bluff, turning the tables Thursday by requesting to testify publicly in open hearings before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

Doubtful Chuck Grassley would allow such public testimony that would hurt the Führer.

If Mr. Art of the Deal really wanted to end the shutdown and cared about federal workers, programs and services, he would be negotiating instead of building a ballroom.

And if he’s too busy with the ballroom, he could allow Thune to do it since Mike Johnson is a useless fool.

I have a young relative who lost her job and is currently looking for another. She had a zoom interview for a position, and I overheard part of it. The employer asked her if she had kids, how old they are, and about their daycare.

Those questions lead to discrimination…obviously.

The Roberts Court is now on the verge of erasing one of the key achievements of the Civil Rights Era.

And with it, diluting minority voting strength and doubling down on gerrymanders that could install a permanent Republican majority in Congress.

Elon Musk is on track to receiving a $1 TRILLION pay plan.

If this plan is approved, he'd make almost $100 BILLION annually.

That's 1.6 MILLION times the median American salary.

We're urging Tesla shareholders to vote against this new pay package.
