Busy? With what? Certainly not running the House. He must be busy trying to delay the release of the Epstein files to protect trump and the rest of his pedophile buddies.

Q: A judge in Florida issued a restraining order against Cory Mills for threatening and harassing his ex-girlfriend. Do you think this is an ethical violation?

MIKE JOHNSON: I have not heard or looked into the details of that. I've been a little busy.

What’s Congress? Oh wait. I remember. It was back when we had three branches of the government to keep check and balances on corrupt presidents and their administration. Those were the days.

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".

This move isn’t about helping troops, it’s about testing how far executive power can stretch. If left unchallenged, it sets a dangerous precedent where any president could redirect funds for political ends. Congress must act, or risk losing one of its most essential powers.

It’s way past time for Democrats to revolt and start some lawsuits. trump does NOT have the power of the purse. The House does. He should no longer be allowed to override the power of the House.

This is unconstitutional and illegal. A memorandum doesn’t grant anyone the power to override the Constitution.

Trump has signed an order expanding his administration’s authority to redirect unspent federal funds to pay members of the military during the government shutdown,

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina.

Elon Musk does too.

Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come.

There is zero oversight. Congress not involved.

One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

No Vance, that’s not what kids do. Unless they’re kids of racist, bigoted parents who taught them that is the proper way to act. And the Vice President condoning this behavior is why this country is so f*cked up today.
