When Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was Speaker, there never was a successful discharge petition. Under Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), there have been two successful discharge petitions.
Speaker-emerita Pelosi repeatedly worked with majorities slimmer than Speaker Johnson now has.
She was better at the job.

this sort of factual statement should not be confined to the opinion section
"If Trump’s first term was marked by a level of graft and self-dealing that would have embarrassed a Tammany stalwart, then his second term seems to be an explicit effort to outpace his previous record and set a new high-water mark for political corruption in the [US]."

Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

Did he listen to himself? Disobeying unlawful orders is not allowed? It is what? . . . disrespectful? Has he heard of Nurenberg? Does he actually know the Constitution? I can't wait until he is voted out of office along with all other slimebugs
Lindsey Graham: "I don't think I've ever been on a show more unnerving than tonight. You've got US senators and members of the House suggesting to our men and women in the military that they should be disobeying unlawful orders issued by President Trump and his military."

Yes, shit happens. Pretty normal for Trump.
I hadn’t thought of that, but seems like an accurate assessment.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

As the FBI’s deputy director, Dan Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief. His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

The US trade representative, Jamieson Greer, said that the US has “essentially reached a deal with Switzerland”, after the country was hit with a 39% tariff on Swiss exports to the US.
“We’re really excited about that deal and what it means for American manufacturing,” Greer told CNBC today in an interview. Continue reading...

They claim this operation is to stop drugs from entering the “Homeland” and killing its people.
Remember when Trump pardoned a convicted drug dealer who helped bring 100,000kg of drugs into the country?
I do, because on Monday he went back to jail for sexual assault.
It’s not about drugs.

1) They’re on the list
