Stop the Republican shutdown?
Release the Epstein files?
Work to lower costs?

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

That’s quite a telling statement, Stephen Miller. I guess you’re calling all the shots now?

Tweet from Sky Marchini: “‘I’.”
Below is Acyn’s tweet quoting Stephen Miller on CNN: “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice, sleepy southern town, is anyone going to riot?”
Screenshot shows Miller speaking on the right and the interviewer on the left, with the headline: “Illinois & Chicago sue Trump over Natl Guard deployment.”

History gives us plenty of examples of disease used as a weapon. There are fewer cases of governments deliberately using disease against their own citizens. We are living (or dying) through one right now.

Q: Who is Mike Johnson being threatened by? I mean, if he's not bringing the House back, releasing the Epstein files ... he seems scared

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think so ... Do I think he's really up to the task? No.

The Trump-China trade relationship reminds me of my middle school love life: On one week, off the week, high drama, passing notes, heartache, renewal, gossip, and we did it all again the next week.

The reality, of course, is that despite the drama, no-one was making long-term commitments.

The government has been shut down for nearly half a month.

Insurance costs are doubling for millions of families.

And you’re still trying to rewrite history on the first bipartisan vote to impeach a U.S. president?

Put down your phone and focus on ending the Trump shutdown.

Listening to Platner makes me all the more livid establishment Dems are not supporting him. Instead they are opting for the safe choices. As a 72yro, I can say that a 77yro should be looking back at her achievements & forward to being a mentor who can pass on wisdom.

Time to let the next gen in.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
