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.

Team Trump’s clashes with the faith community go from bad to worse

The political world is overdue for a conversation about the severity of the conflicts between the Republican administration and the faith community.

if blue state governors and mayors aren't already thinking about the reliability of various police forces nominally under their control, they should start immediately

No society that wants to ban books is a healthy society.

A presumably right wing white female holds up a list to a teacher. Her table states: Books we want banned. In the next panel that teacher holds up the same list to her students. On the chalkboard behind her are the words: This years reading list.

I simply don’t think it’s correct to assert we are free citizens of a free country. We aren’t under an iron fist, but our situation is dire. Competitive authoritarianism is here. www.liberalcurrents.com/all-in-our-h...

He is really talented, really good. This one is amazing:
"Her Name is America"
Artist notes:
her name is America...
she is, within herself, an abstract canvas...
a frustrating, complex display of emotions and scars...
she does not dream much anymore...
her primary objective is now survival.

Painting by Nikkolas Smith, a very talented artist. The image is a haunting abstract of a beautiful Black woman's face, her expression is distressed, worried. Overlaid is a large red star and red, white, and blue stripes in faded strokes, symbolising the flag of the United States.
The title of the painting is "Her Name is America".
The artist description says:
her name is America...
she is, within herself, an abstract canvas...
a frustrating, complex display of emotions and scars...
she does not dream much anymore...
her primary objective is now survival.

“Fired for no reason”: Former immigration judges speak out against Trump’s assault on the courts

The Trump administration’s push for more deportations is upending immigration courts. Recently terminated judges fear the changes imperil due process.

Have the Trump psychotics found the leader of antifa yet? Are they aware that Gen Eisenhower, that noted anti-fascist, is no longer with us and can’t be arrested? Perhaps they can dig up Winston Churchill & bring him to ICE HQ?
