Not approved by Congress, so, not approved by any representation of the people.

He literally took OUR money and gave it to a friend. He thinks the US Treasury is his own piggy bank.

While our country suffers on Day 15 of a government shutdown courtesy of the GOP, Trump gives Argentina a $20 billion bailout at the expense of American farmers.

Re-upping my latest Substack piece on Trump’s not-so-secret sleight of hand:

So… translation:

“If you want us to stop firing people, stop resisting our ambitions of an authoritarian government. Obey, so you can get your pittance and survive another day.”

I cannot wait until these people have to face the consequences of their actions.

Totally agree.

Vance would leave the GOP and join the Dems if he thought it brought a political advantage.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

I know the gaslighting and hypocrisy are entirely intentional, but it's worth pointing out that these guys think that

A) marches with families and people in inflatable costumes are hateful and anti-American

and also

B) people who stormed the Capitol were just having a fun day out

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Seems similar to the start of the Ukraine War. Is Trump following Putin’s playbook? - trying to draw out a response to justify a larger military deployment.

Don’t ask Johnson about anything current or relevant. He’s completely unaware of anything.

It started by saying that it was going to be capable of doing everything.

Now, they are searching for anything it can do.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Outrageous.
Anybody who reads this cannot possibly feel safe.

The Trump administration and ICE is the most dangerous terrorist organization operating on American soil.

I have a bad feeling that after she gets sworn in and everything with the Epstein files looks inevitable… someone will cave or be bought off- I have no confidence in Nancy Mace to follow through.

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

ICE raided a building in Chicago-using Blackhawk helicopters and flash bang grenades

Destroying people’s homes-including US citizens-before dragging them out

Detaining children in zip ties

Arresting 37 based on Stephen Miller’s lies

How a Chicago airport was erased from the map 20 years ago
Two decades ago, bulldozers sent by Mayor Richard M. Daley destroyed the runway at Meigs Field. The move was seen then and now as an example of mayoral overreach.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov and Mayor Brandon Johnson need to channel the ghost of Richard Daley.

At 3am in the morning, have 30 dump trucks of sand dumped around that ICE facility, and declare the streets under construction.
