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.

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

I am begging every non-trans political writer in the American landscape to reflect on the ongoing attacks on the trans community by this fascist administration. Nothing would make me happier. By all means, please write about it.

Almost like we can get a variety of takes from one event. I am curious as to her thoughts and yours. I really don’t care to hear your thoughts on trans rights, at least not now or in a long form article.

Trump's involvement with Epstein has been publicized for decades. Photographs, documents, court records, witness testimony are available. Republicans know exactly what trump is. Republicans are complicit to every single repulsive hienious act trump has ever committed.

no they're LITERALLY exaggerating this issue. there is absolutely no data backing up their claims. ffs just say that!!

NBC news: The discussions come as Trump has sought to deploy National Guard troops in several major cities — including Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, Oregon — saying they’re needed to reduce crime and protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials from protesters. Critics have said that the Trump administration is exaggerating issues in those cities.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
