Trump shut down our government.

But it’s open to dole out $20 billion for his political ally in Argentina.

We have a new bill to stop this bailout and put “America First.”

The thing about Mike Johnson is if you were casting "unctuously insincere politician" you really couldn't do any better with an actor.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

WATCH as Trump's gestapo tackle a civilian in Chicago.

When Democrats take back the House, ALL of ICE illegal actions need to be investigated!

This is the violence in Chicago that the administration says we have. He sent it. #Felon47
Those thugs won't go into the gang areas for a fair fight, eh?

I agree, a defining moment of our era. What is ICE? This is ICE.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

If Trump was the most transparent POTUS in US history as Pam Bondi claims, he wouldn't have thrown out the practice of WH visitor logs

He would have released his tax returns & Melania's immigration records

He'd put his business holdings in a blind trust

AND he would #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

It's interesting that Bondi can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but not indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants
