Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Weird how Antifa never asks me for money. Everyone else does, but Antifa is very quiet.

The FBI keeps insisting it’s “restoring integrity.” That’s adorable. Integrity isn’t a slogan, boys...it’s what you demonstrate before you get caught trying to clean up your own Watergate X 10,000.

Since Ken Paxton is looking for clandestine leftists, I've heard the TexAgs politics board is the mothership of Texas communist sentiment.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Ran into Angus King while getting lunch and he said he's still a "yes" on voting to keep the government open. I asked him about Russ Vought and he said it's a bad strategy "to stand up to a bully by handing him a weapon."

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

It is hard to believe GOP Senators just sit there and let Bondi lie, disrespect, and commit perjury and do nothing. It’s appalling.

It’s the US Senate. Act like it GOP.
