It's a big deal but some of us are also bothered by the concentration camps, kidnapping, graft, alienation of allies, pedophilia, violation of the Constitution, vaccines, women,'s right, voting fraud, insurrections, crypo fraud, murder of south Americans, support of Israeli racism and genocide.

Yesterday, Mike Johnson said they'd swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva (the final person needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files) "as soon as she wants."

Not even 24 hours later, he now says they'll only swear her in when they reopen the government. What gives?

Speaker Johnson crashes Kelly and Gallego gaggle. Says he’ll swear in Grijalva when they reopen the government

Kelly asking why Fine and Petronis got sworn in on pro forma, Johnson says it has to do with being on recess.

Johnson: “this has nothing to do with Epstein”

I hope Miami counters it like Orlando has been… with even more rainbows throughout the community.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

And now their Dear Leader thinks the Chicago mayor and Illinois guv should be in jail for not protecting ICE. Hmm. Remind me then, who was it who failed to protect the Capitol and D.C. police during the Jan 6 insurrection?

Dear EU,

Please don't cave in to these monsters.

"Unlike traditional trade negotiations, the US is not offering concessions in return. “It’s a one-way street,” said one EU official."

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads:
“If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.

We should have stopped this wildly unethical, corrupt, & probably illegal nepotism way back in 2017, when Ivanka Trump was representing the US at international conferences alongside Christine Lagarde.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.
