Hey Speaker Johnson, swear in Adelita Grijalva. Or are you too scared that Trump and your other GOP buddies are in the Epstein files?

President Trump didn’t just shut down the government to score political points—he’s trying to shut down the truth.
As investigations close in on Epstein’s network, his allies are now blocking Congress from being sworn in. They’re terrified of transparency.

Pritzker also responded on social media, saying: “I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

Despite strong objections from Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and the people of Chicago, the Trump regime is preparing to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago today.

If you are in Chicago and need guidance on how to interact with the Guard, here’s a helpful guide:

There it is...Trump calls for the arrest of the mayor of Chicago and Governor Pritzker.

So, for all the incrementalists in denial...are we there yet? 🤔
- Did we cross the line into authoritarianism yet?
- Is it fascism yet?
- Is he "joking"?

He & Stephen Miller want civil war.

Wake up people, trump must be removed from office. A president calling for Gov Pritzker and others political opponents to be jailed should frighten everyone regardless of party. That is fascism.

They’re lying because they want you to support them cutting your healthcare, and they want you to blame immigrants.

- undocumented immigrants aren’t eligible for Medicaid or the ACA

- 700 rural hospitals will close

- Health insurance premiums will double, or more

- 15 million will lose coverage
Fact Check: Mike Johnson's Biggest Lies About Health Care and Undocumented Immigrants
GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson pushes the false narrative that Democrats shut down the government to fund health care for undocumented people.

Not sure why you think he’s not in the Epstein files. My bet is Trump and Epstein both have compromised video of Graham with children. Remember how quickly he went from despising him to singing his praises during Trump 1.0? I’ve just been waiting for the evidence to come out!

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
