How come Maga Republicans aren't getting torched for shutting down the government because they want to cover up for pedophiles more than they want the government open? I haven't heard the question asked like that but it fucking should be bc that's exactly what this is!

Funny how the ppl who claim he doesn't take a salary don't have receipts or mention the taxpayer $ he does take is equivalent to 287 years worth of presidential salaries& that doesn't even take into account him overcharging/cheating secret service 4 over priced hotel rooms,golf carts&green fees!

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

FBI snagged Sen. Ron Johnson's phone logs in their Jan. 6 probe, eyeing his push for bogus electors to Pence. Now he whines about "shocking" surveillance from the same crew he accuses of threatening democracy. #Jan6

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Speaker Mike Johnson was an official in the Southern Baptist Convention, a member of its Ethics and Religious Liberty Comission, from 2004-2012, a period of such hideous coverup of sexual abuse and misconduct by church leaders that the SBC finally had to get an outside report.

Pam Bondi went 4 1/2 fucking hours without answering a single question! Why do they have oversight hearings for crooks who never answer wtf they're being asked? Why don't committees just file contempt charges against unAmerican mother fuckers doing this bullshit
