“You said last week that you would swear in Adelita Grijalva whenever she wants. She’s written a letter to your office. You’ve not sworn her in. Doesn’t your resistance to not swear her in add fuel to the fire that this is about the Epstein files?” Pergram asked. 2/2

Mike Johnson isn't Christian.
He proves that every day.
But he IS a numerologist.
He fears 218.

World Cup host sites aren’t up to President Donald Trump.

The 11 U.S. cities — plus three in Mexico and two in Canada — are contracted with FIFA, which would face significant logistical and legal issues to make changes in the eight months before the June 11 kickoff. https://to.pbs.org/3J0dtaK

Trump threatened to move World Cup games away from Boston, but it's up to FIFA to pick sites

“We could take them away,” President Donald Trump said of the World Cup games. “I love the people of Boston and I know the games are sold out. But your mayor is not good.”

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.
