Kristi Noem: "Any elected official that allows this to happen and gives cover to those kind of individuals who are perpetuating murder should absolutely be prosecuted in my opinion."

It's so weird how Mike Johnson never has the time to look into anything that might be disadvantageous to him

Mike Johnson: "Federal workers, it's my understanding that the law is that they would be paid. There is some other legal analysis floating around. I haven't yet had time to dig in and read that."

What the Washington Post is overlooking about this statement is that Trump is in the Epstein files

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 19h

President Trump has called for the jailing of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, for “failing to protect” ICE officers who have been sent to the city.

Trump says Chicago mayor, Illinois governor should be jailed for response to ICE

Trump, without providing evidence, said Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker should go to jail for “failing to protect” immigration agents.

A law that Trump himself signed

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov · 1d

Let me be clear: It’s ILLEGAL to deny federal workers back pay after a shutdown.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.

You don’t get to punish people for doing their jobs just because you’re failing at yours.
