Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

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.

It's DEF Con 1 For American Democracy: All Hands on Deck!

Trump is declaring war against Americans, striking Venezuela, musing about the Insurrection Act, and unleashing ICE to terrorize Americans. The white nationalist regime is gunning for total power.

Insane that Congress is totally utterly powerless against the MAGA regime’s destructive actions against the entire country simply because it’s under the complete of control of corrupt immoral cultists instead of people who actually give a shit. Truly disturbing.

ICE detained a nonverbal, 15 year-old autistic boy who'd been selling fruit by the side of the road with his family when he took a bathroom break. The family was not notified. He was held in ICE detention for a week before the family could find him.

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.

Now, ICE is trying to deport him by citing a decades-old deportation order based largely on his wrongful conviction.
