Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I'm talking about the Epstein list. I genuinely don't understand why there's been any effort to hide this & prevent it from coming out. But b/c of the efforts for years now to hide it, it certainly makes you feel afraid when you're one of the ones truly on the frontlines."

The most violent President we’ve ever had.

He’ll fight to protect Russia while he unleashes our own military on our own citizens.

Unfit to serve. He should resign or be removed immediately via the 25th amendment.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

Wall Street tells us something Main Street already knows: the economy is crashing, jobs are being lost, inflation is up, and Trump Tax Tariffs are driving up the cost of goods for ordinary Americans.
