The surest way for Mike Johnson to prove that his refusal to seat Rep. Grijalva has nothing to do with the Epstein files is to seat Rep. Grijalva.

if anybody is good at lip reading or can isolate the audio, I'd be very curious to learn more about what these two were talking about here. it certainly didn't sound on the level.
Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.
We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy

Damn it must be exhausting being this afraid of everything, all the time, forever and ever
Markwayne Mullin: "I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around Washington DC in my Jeep - yes, I drive myself - & I don't buckle up. The reason I don't buckle up - people can say whatever they want - is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry."

Why are we still fucking talking about this??!! He’s not the president and he has stage 4 cancer. Leave him the fuck alone and focus on the doofus in the White House.
Kevin O'Connor cited doctor-patient confidentiality and his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in deciding not to answer questions from Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.

Vote them out.
The House passed the Big Bullsh*t Bill & now it waits for Trump's signature. We won’t forget who voted for this.
Reps. Troy Balderson, Bob Latta, Mike Carey, Max Miller, Jim Jordan, Dave Joyce, Warren Davidson, Michael Rulli, Dave Taylor, Mike Turner, and Senators Jon Husted & Bernie Moreno

House passes sprawling domestic policy bill, sending it to Trump's desk
The Republican package would slash taxes, boost spending on immigration enforcement and the military, and impose steep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and clean energy funding.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.
They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

This is my weak-ass, boot-licking rep. This is what we’re up against in OH-10. I wish I knew why he keeps getting re-elected, because he sucks.
asked if he's hearing from constituents who are worried about losing their healthcare, Rep. Mike Turner stammers that "the American people feel that individuals should go and enter into the workplace."

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.
