Refusing to seat a duly elected member of Congress. Military invasions of peaceful cities. Even shutting the entire government down. The GOP will stop at nothing to distract from the Epstein files & hide them from the public. Why? Because Donald Trump is a child-raping pedophile.

Congress made their pay permanent. Military pay? No. Could congress fix it? Instantly. But why would the arsonists turn off the gas while they’re still warm and well-fed? They are fake patriots, fake christians who see everyone as disposable. “Respect the troops” means paying them!

Troops will miss paychecks next week without action on the government shutdown

The federal government shutdown is raising anxiety levels among service members and their families because those in uniform are working without pay.

Tom Homan, head of ICE, accepted $50k from undercover FBI agents last year, reportedly a bribe in a sting operation. All cash, in a paper bag. Pam Bondi, reading from a script, insists Homan did nothing wrong—yet she refuses to answer any questions about what happened to that cash? Really?
