FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Trump claimed that his sweeping tariffs will “pay down” the national debt, but it is actually doing the exact opposite. The US is “going broke,” according to JPMorgan Asset Management’s chief global strategist David Kelly in a note to investors. www.thedailybeast.com/key-jpmorgan...

Key Analyst Says U.S. is ‘Going Broke’ Under Trump

In Idaho women’s prisons, guards get away with sexual abuse and victims are blamed – RANGE Media

A yearlong investigation finds rampant sexual abuse by guards, systemic cover-ups, and punishment for victims

So Progressive Conservatives win in Newfoundland, good luck with that. If you think your life is going to get better with today’s kind of conservatives, think again.
In BC we barely escaped electing them, after the election their extremism became even worse.
They are all MAGA. #NeverConservative
