Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

I am hopeful but skeptical that the Palestine-Israel conflict can be resolved for the long term. I don't trust Netanyahu to make the necessary concessions. I can see the Israeli ruling coaltion collapsing before making a deal that allows for a 2 state solution.

A new TRO issued Illinois Judge Sarah Ellis stops the Trump Regime from using military-grade firepower on journalists, members of the clergy, and First Amendment protesters.
Amazing isn't it that American citizens have to be protected from our own government for lawful peaceful protests?

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Use of Riot Control Weapons Against Journalists and Clergy

As I have said many times, when ICE stops acting like the Gestapo, people will stop making the comparison.

My fear is that Trump and ICE management no longer care the comparison is being made.

Release the Epstein files!

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · Jul 26

The DNC is launching a digital ad campaign pressuring the GOP to release the Epstein files — targeting vulnerable Republicans in their home districts.

Political retribution prosecutions don't necessarily need to succeed in a conviction. They need to cost the targets money and create fear of the same in others. This is fascism at work.

The ideas include:
- You're on your own pal
- Can't afford the doctor - go die
- Meds to expensive - do without
- Thinning the herd would actually help

Their plan is to do nothing and let the above ideas take root.

You can safely bet that his inner circle was fully briefed ahead of time and played the market accordingly. Self-dealing, insider trading, market manipulation - none of these things are of concern to Trump and his cronies. They only seek greater enrichment at the cost of the suckers out there.

As much as I detest Trump, I hope he succeeds and yet I fully expect this, like most Trump initiatives, will fail dismally.

Of course the Trump DOJ doesn't want Comey to see these materials. This is Kangaroo-Court 101.
