Shutting down the House is not a strategy. It’s an abdication. A failure. And yes, an embarrassment. Even MTG is calling out the GOP for shutting down the government.

So Leticia James is the shiny object du jour.

I also think it’s worth remembering that these people had 4 years to line all their grievances up. None of this is coming off the cuff. The DOJ is trumps own law firm. And he’s insane.
Any moral human would walk off this job. Shut it all down.

If Democrats *don’t* try to make anti-corruption their focus and deliver real reforms, what will happen to their party—and to what’s left of American democracy? www.thebulwark.com/p/anti-corru...
How Anti-Corruption Can Be a Winning Issue for Democrats
It’s a powerful, unifying theme—and it’s tied to the crisis of democracy under Trump.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

He also shared his personal views which were often racist, misogynistic, and homophobic. He dismissed Martin Luther King Jr, and was ok with gun violence. He was a speaking agent for the Heritage Foundation.

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.
SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records
The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.
