It DOES have everything to do with the Epstein files.

Marjorie – I call bullshit. Your votes put us here, and you own it. Now that your daughter is affected, you’re suddenly concerned. Not good enough.

You’ve been hearing from your constituents all along. You never listened until it hit your own house.

A President threatening to jail a sitting Governor is unacceptable and is the opposite of what this country stands for and was founded on. I stand with Gov. Pritzker and for the rights of each state across our great nation.

Proving, as anyone who has had to deal with it knows, that there's very little justice, rectitude, or capable jurisprudence in Louisiana.

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 18h

While Trump and the WWE cofounder seek to demolish the U.S. Department of Education, California is generating K-12 test scores that get better and better.

With universal meals, added literacy resources, and more, we're helping students thrive in and out of the classroom.

Announcing news that California's test scores for the previous academic school year show continued progress among K-12 students, Governor Newsom signs legislation to help ensure educators have access to necessary resources for reading and literacy instruction.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Clearly the white house is bursting with bad lawyers as is the DOj! I filed a complaint against bondi and blanche! You can too!
They are in breach of multiple ethics and professional conduct standards and should not be able to practice law again. File! Can't hurt!

(New Republic) Apparently, Bondi did not prepare answers to respond to Senators in her congressional testimony, but rather spent her time preparing attack lines to change the subject and attack Democratic Senators.

If Republicans don’t act 24 million Americans will be devastated by sky rocketing health care costs.

Speaker Johnson needs to call his people back and stop covering up for pedophiles.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.
