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.

Dr. Kitagawa, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has carried out his research while keeping in mind the concept of “the usefulness of uselessness” from the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi. Although he is a scientist, his way of thinking is philosophical and distinctly Asian in spirit

Hey Bible boy:

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

How about a story on the moron Watters getting O’Neil to dress up like Fox News bad guys to make fake news stories.

This should be worth a lifetime of satisfaction against FAUX noise.

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."

I think the Dems have done a good job on hammering the GOP into a corner on health care. But in the grand scheme that’s a safe space/easy pull for them. They need to replicate that consistency with the other issues.

Sorry but stuff like this is so gross. You can (rightly) bring up the atrocities in Gaza w/o dismissing the atrocities of October 7th. One being worse doesn't mean both aren't awful.

When we mourn 9/11, nobody waves it off because more people were later killed in Iraq/Afghanistan. Have a heart.

Remember when it was Bannon in the White House running everything, sitting in on meetings? Someone started a postcard campaign and we flooded the WH with postcards addressed to President Bannon. Trump freaked and gave Bannon the boot.
