Under Mike Johnson, the House has conducted just 20 days of business in the last 16 weeks and refused to swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva.

Don't forget what this is really about: keeping the release of the Epstein Files at bay.

Trump already made the Oval Office look like a movie-set whorehouse; imagine the White House ballroom he’s building.

The NYT is reporting that Donald Trump is demanding $230 Million from the DOJ for past cases against him.

That means...he's suing us. Because that's who would pay for it.

Trump posted a clip about prosecuting Obama, lied about a summit with Putin, took a foreign made excavator to the East Wing of the White House while he dined with GOP Senators on a paved over Rose Garden a month into a government shutdown but tell me again how Biden was old.

If you take $230 million out of the treasury to pay yourself for being president, I believe you should be executed for high crimes.
