Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime.”

Yeah, well, looks like Trump just committed one with a $300 million price tag and a bulldozer. If any other American did this, they’d already be in handcuffs. Trump is immune and he knows it.

Remember Biden’s infrastructure bill?
Y’all know. The one to help your state?
Yeah. Those were good times.

Now, Trumps stopped that for a new East Wing brothel. Now at $300B
No health care for you, MAGA. No SNAP. No $$ is left.

On his first day in office, Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who attacked police officers and the US Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. More than 30 of them are already back in trouble with the law—including one arrested last weekend for making chilling death threats against Hakeem Jeffries.

Trump-inspired violence from January 6 rioters makes a return | Opinion

Christopher Moynihan’s arrest after threats to Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries is a predictable result of Trump’s Inauguration Day pardons.

That we know of.

Screenshot of a post by Bernie Sanders. It lists money that Donald Trump has received in 2025.
$3 billion: mostly from crypto
$940 million: law firms
$400 million plane: Qatar
$36 million: CBS
$25 million: Meta
$24 million: YouTube
$16 million: ABC
$10 million: X

Now $230 million from DOJ?

Good morning.

It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

While the patient said his out-of-pocket contribution will increase by $2,000, GOP lawmakers are saying it has nothing to do with President's Trump's so called Big Beautiful Bill.

So tell me. Is THIS what you voted for MAGA?

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.

The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.

Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

The remarks by the Republican House member from Pennsylvania align with efforts by the president and G.O.P. leaders to portray the political left as un-American.

Next week, the Fed is meeting to decide interest rates, but they'll have to do it without the most recent jobs data.

The data is ready to go, but the Trump Admin is just sitting on it.

What do they have to hide?

Release the data.

Donald Trump should release the jobs data.

It would cost roughly $700 million to make the nation's slowest buses fast and free.

And it would generate more than double that in economic benefits for our city.
