The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

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."

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Shouty Howard Nutlick dismissed any auto trade deal with Canada. He said the US of Russia might continue buying parts from us, and Canada should “come second” to the USR on autos.
They want to wipe out our auto industry & all those jobs.
Will Carney react or not?

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

i love reading about the median American voter, who is Ralph Wiggum and determines the fate of the world

quote from NYT article about a survey: "Voters are divided, however, on whether “open to immigrants” is a good description for America at the current moment: 48 percent said that it described America well, while 49 percent said it did not in the Times/Siena survey."

Please listen to what Texas Paul Schroeder just posted on the subject of the deployment of the Texas NG. Seriously, it is your Miller/trump regime and Republican Congress that are the real enemy. That is why the 2nd Amendment was written, these traitors must be removed.

Executive orders are not the law, they pertain to the Executive branch of the government, which is meant to follow the laws created by the Legislative branch, the U.S. Congress and used to hear and decide cases in the courts by the Judicial branch. The POTUS has no power to make law or ignore US Law
