Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people.

If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work.

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

The MAGA flunkie—a past beauty queen contestant with zero prosecutorial experience—imported to get an indictment of Comey couldn’t get anyone in her office to indict Letitia James, either.

More turmoil in the US attorney's office that brought the Comey indictment at Trump's explicit demand. Two longtime prosecutors who had risen to leadership positions in the Virginia office were fired in recent days, Salvador Rizzo reports. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Speaker Johnson is refusing to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva during a pro forma session – but he swore in two Republican members in April using that exact procedure.

Conveniently, she is the last signature needed to release the Epstein files...

This isn'tt normal. What do they have to hide?

Mike Johnson, swear in Congresswoman Elect Adelita Grijalva. Enough with the BS, "we'll do it when the government opens". You loser, you are the one keeping republicans at home on vacation instead of gaveling in the house for session, which ONLY YOU have power to do.

Trump is literally trying to bully Norway into giving him a peace prize. Like, “or else.”

You really can’t make this stuff up.

Trump can’t hide from the truth. And the truth is that the majority of Americans blame him for this shutdown. Not Democrats, not even Congressional Republicans…as much as old Donald himself.

I guess Americans aren’t as stupid as he thinks they are.
