Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

While Dear Leader is crowing about the purported peace deal in Gaza, this morning Netanyahu is launching more attacks in the hopes of killing some more children before the deal is finalized.

Reminder: The guy demanding credit for a ceasefire in Gaza is the same guy instigating a civil war here at home.

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.

Isn’t it amazing that with all these ICE raids they never raid a Trump property?

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

MIKE JOHNSON: Members are doing important work in their districts right now

TAPPER: But the work legislating is also important work

I explained more on why you need to care about the military strikes on (alleged) drug cartels in my Ask Asha video this week. These strikes are coming to a street near you (if the Trump admin has its way) m.youtube.com/watch?v=kQPP...

As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

So Trump meant to send a DM to Pam Bondi to tell her to indict Comey and others but he posted it publicly--instead of just texting her, calling her up or having a meeting.

And he handed Comey amo for vindictive prosecution.

Tell me his brain isn't fried.
