Trump doesn’t have any people in Portland. We wouldn’t allow Trump people in Portland. Trump has no idea what he’s talking about in regard to Portland and everything he says about Portland is a lie.

You won’t see anything in Portland that Trump says is going on because there is nothing going on in Portland. Donald Trump is a liar!

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

Walk out now.

I live less than an hour away from Portland and I can guarantee you the fact is, Donald Trump is a liar.

No, such things are, or have ever, taken place in Portland, Oregon. Donald Trump is a liar.

ICE Suspected of Kidnaping Children for Sex Trafficking to MAGA Politicians, White House and MAGA Pastors. That may be why ICE doesn't report where the children are and disappears them.

Pam Bondi’s karma will be as vile as she is. She’ll be left with nothing but an orange nose. She’s already lost all of her integrity and self-respect. I hope I’m around to see her karma strike her down.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · 16h

Bondi also wouldn’t answer whether she’d seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged they’d seen. She must resign.

Tweet from Acyn showing a quote exchange:
Padilla: “Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?”
Bondi: “I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.”
Padilla: “I asked a simple yes or no question.”
Below is a C-SPAN screenshot showing Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) speaking during a Justice Department oversight hearing. A lower third graphic shows a countdown to a government shutdown.
