Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.
That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.
I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

The latest crazy just proves what we all know. They are discussing everything on Signal to avoid any discovery or FOIA or archival laws. So illegal but here we are.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case.
Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Minnesotans have no tolerance for fraud.
That's why we created a state law enforcement unit to investigate and hold people accountable for these crimes, and why I'm calling on the legislature to pass our comprehensive anti-fraud package.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way.
This is not a hot take.
It's just plain common sense.

A billionaire blatantly breaking election laws to get his preferred candidate into power is the sort of crime that law enforcement should address immediately, rather than giving it a chance to work first and prosecuting only if it fails.
