What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.

Mike Johnson is not happy that we went around him with a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he and Trump robbed from us:

Not sure I understand the news value in bringing Tom Cotton on your TV show to repeat a monstrous lie you watched him say on television earlier this week

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

These guys already enjoy taxpayer provided free healthcare for life…..

But providing you with affordable HC insurance wouldn’t please the Billionaires they work for, so guess what.

They’re voting no, of course.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami.

If Trump is innocent, prove it.

If you're a politician and don't support rapists or pedophiles, prove it.

If you're a politician and aren't complicit in Epstein's crimes, prove it.

Release the Epstein files.

I am begging one, JUST ONE, congressional reporter to follow up with Mike Johnson by asking, "What are the American people to make of a Speaker of the House who tells us daily that he's not aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House?"
