“.. Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an “iron fist,” according to people who have heard the comments. Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial.”

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇

Marjorie Taylor Greene: This should not be happening, the shutdown is just going to drive everybody's approval rating that much lower.

Pamela Brown: You're putting the blame on the leadership of your party?

Greene: Absolutely. We control the House. We control the Senate. We have the White House.

this from 2022 based on deal made in 2017.

its not a full Qatari air base. they will have space to train on F-15s at Mountain Home. similar to how Singapore operates at Mountain Home currently.

The "Department of Homeland Security" which is living up to its Orwellian name has posted a video on Facebook of agents arresting (alleged) illegal aliens and titled the video "Bag it. Tag it. Take it down."

This is grotesque. Even assuming every person in the video committed some criminal act,

REMINDER: Rs can nuke the filibuster whenever they want and pass whatever budget they like, but they won’t bc they know they’ll never get it back and then they’ll lose their unjustifiable grip on power forever.

They don’t want a budget, they want accomplices. Don’t do it. Hold the line.

This GOP move does several things:
+ No votes in the House until at least October 14
+ No swearing-in for Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ
+ No 218th signature from Grijalva on the Epstein Files discharge petition
+ Continues the House 'jam' of the Senate on the CR

Jamie Dupree @jamiedupree.bsky.social · 8d

🚨🚨The House reading clerk just read a letter from House Speaker Mike Johnson where he declares a 'District Work Period' from October 7 to October 13.

That would mean no votes in the House until mid-month.

Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans are blocking the swearing-in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

If it wasn’t for them, she’d be the final signature needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Graphic featuring the images of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva and Speaker Mike Johnson with the following text:

'GOP INTERFERENCE

Republicans delay swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the final vote needed for Epstein files release'

Mike Johnson isn’t swearing her in because she’ll be the tipping point vote on the discharge petition to release the Epstein Files

Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva hasn't been sworn in, so she has to roam Congress with an escort

I saw her this morning going through security along visitors — something lawmakers don't need to do when walking into the Capitol

More on her limbo status here:

Voters Elected Her to Congress. Mike Johnson Is Making Her Wait.

“At this point, I can’t hire staff. We don’t have an office. I can’t get around without being escorted,” Arizona’s incoming House Democrat, Adelita Grijalva, said Tuesday.
