My girlfriend is covered head to toe in tattoos and not one of them is a nazi tattoo so i don’t know what the fuck y‘all are on about with this “sometimes white people have a bit of a nazi phase but it’s ok as long as they move past it by age 25” nonsense

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
The White House is no longer the people’s house. Now it’s just another private club for Donald Trump. If he could add a golf course, you know he’d do it.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
Demolish first, submit plans later?? This is what happens when all oversight has been either fired or replaced with loyalists. They ALL work for Trump, not us—and this is no longer the people’s house.

Elitist Dems may not realize it but the #1 issue for hard-working, salt-of-the-earth Americans is ensuring the president has an adequate event space for hosting galas and luncheons

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.

Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

New from me:

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

The Pentagon press corps has a new look.

Out are all the major news networks.

In are TurningPoint USA, RedState and a streaming service run by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
Pro-Trump outlets flock to the Pentagon under new media policy
The Defense Department announced that more than 60 journalists would be credentialed under its newly restrictive press policy.

Pentagon leadership just told officials, including the Joint Chiefs chair, they now need permission before speaking to Congress. The memo dropped the same day reporters walked out over new press restrictions. Checks and balances aren’t checking and balancing.

Jeffries: We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight. And Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.
So grotesque... There's your next wave of Dem ads right there. Just play that over and over again..
At no point over the years since his drunk night out did it become intolerable to Platner that he has a Nazi icon tattooed on his chest?

There he goes again. Every time Johnson lies, his cheeks flush. ☺️
Seriously, Yonkers Democrats, how is this young Republican running unopposed? With NYS county legislator elections about to move to even years, you have another shot in 2026.
