Juan Ciscomani is complicit in this shutdown and in the legislative disaster Republicans have created. Veterans will lose jobs, money, and healthcare. He is screwing over his own voters, and he needs to be voted out.

According to the numbers, these are the 26 most vulnerable MAGA House representatives. They've spent more time defending “Dear Leader” than the Constitution, and they can be beat. We're pledging to target them all in the 2026 midterms.

No wonder Trump is nonchalant about shutdown. It delays Epstein files' release. | Opinion
Trump doesn't want transparency, despite promising while running for president last year to release the Epstein files.

"Trump wanted this shutdown. This isn’t speculation — it’s strategy... Russ Vought, has openly embraced using a shutdown to permanently fire tens if not hundreds of thousands of public servants". Read @joetrippi.bsky.social on why this shutdown is different: www.lincolnsquare.media/p/no-dollars...

Rob Wittman spent the night of the shutdown eating steak with his rich donors. Meanwhile, the shutdown he and the GOP caused means soldiers and federal workers in his district will struggle to feed their families. Call his office at (202) 225-4261 and ask why.

All right folks, I’m taking bets on how long before Trump pardons his good friend.

BREAKING:

The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.

The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

Trump and Republicans up for reelection in 2026 are much weaker than they look right now. Rick Wilson has a message for Dems: do not budge one bit.
