Bragging that you get to take paid holidays because the Speaker can’t allow a Congressional session to occur without having to vote on releasing the Epstein files (and thus endangering the Dear Leader) is probably going to piss off voters.

The GOP-led Congress has been out of session for too long. The House is not shut down. They’re getting paid and should be working.
A tweet from Tim Walz reads: “18,000 Minnesota federal employees are facing unemployment while you’re sitting on your ass. Get back to Washington.” It quotes a tweet from Pete Stauber that says: “No better way to end a beautiful weekend in Northern Minnesota!” with an attached photo showing a cozy outdoor fire pit surrounded by chairs, wood stacks, and string lights at sunset.

The funniest part is the notion that ranchers and farmers get to set their own prices.

They probably got a decent laugh out of that one. 🤡

Why were those cases dismissed?

He won the election.

Not Insufficient evidence
Not a weak case
Not a witch hunt

He WAS CONVICTED in one case, and seemed extraordinarily likely to be convicted in the other three based on the mountain of evidence in the indictments

How is this “potentially an ethical conundrum”? This is just another attempt to steal/extort taxpayer money and give it to himself.

REMINDER- the investigations led to multiple indictments (and EXTREMELY strong cases) and a conviction.

He’s so fucking dumb that he can’t just pick one of the adjectives.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

Doesnt seem like Trump cares about people committing actual crimes - especially if they do so to benefit him. Too focused on made up crime in democrat controlled cities.

Oh shit. He said it out loud. This shutdown is specifically about the Epstein Files. He fucking admitted it.

By the way if you think he's gonna seat her after they stop the shutdown, he won't. She will never be seated. Ever. This is shutdown is entirely about the Epstein Files for Trump and Mike

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

BUSTED!! Trump has been using videos of crime in South Carolina, Florida, and Texas as false pretense to federalize the National Guard and send them to Chicago. Bush lied us into war in Iraq. Trump's lying us to the brink of Civil War.

Trump is DOUBLING the amount of the Argentina bailout, to $40 billion. Nothing's been done to lower your cost of living right here, in America. America last.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.
