A Republican majority means that Mike Johnson controls what we vote on and when. He cannot blame the minority for a shutdown in a House he controls.

And he just gave a $20 billion bailout to their Argentinian competitors.

This is Trump's Commerce Secretary saying Epstein was "the greatest blackmailer ever." How else could he have gotten his sweetheart deal from the government?

The coverup needs to end. Republicans have the power to release the files. The victims are asking for justice. Release the files.

Lutnick on Epstein:

Devine: So how come these other people could hang around him and not see it?

Lutnick: They participated. That's what his M.O. was, "Get a massage" And what happened in that massage room, I assume is on video. This guy was the greatest blackmailer ever. That's how he had money.

Is Trump making light of the fact that 51,000 Americans will die every year if Republicans are allowed to go through with their health care plan?

Will any Republican Members of Congress speak out against this?

Trump wasted millions of taxpayer dollars and flew U.S. military generals in from across the world to insult them, solicit them to fight "the enemy within," and make American cities their "training grounds."
