We need to have this weirdo friend of Epstein mentally evaluated weekly! He's losing more marbles every day.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

They are hiring any thug willing to break laws. These guys are Proud boys, Jan 6ers, and Maga. They voted for Trump to break every law possible to take what they want from the rest of us, not just going after immigrants but US citizens as well. It started with migrants, now anyone that opposes Trump

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

Welch: "Is there a tape of Mr. Homan that has audio and video of the transfer of the $50,000?"

Bondi: "I don't know the answer."

Welch: "You do know the answer."

Bondi: "Don't call me a liar!"

Welch: "I didn't call you a liar?"

Bondi: "You just said I know the answer!"

Your constant reminder that bribe for hire Pam Bondi isn’t an attorney general by any means, she’s a criminal who was installed by a criminal to cover up his crimes and the crimes of other powerful rich criminals. Any testimony she gives is a complete bullshit perjury rant.

I'm not a conservative commentator. Billionaires won't pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.

But I am a lawyer who fights for democracy. I did build Democracy Docket from scratch. And, for $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Under Trump the DOJ has been remade into the DOI Department of Injustice! We need to protect and prop up those still in the DOJ that want to actually serve real justice and call out any that try to push for more injustices! I'd like to see a list of those that are like Bondi & call them out!

We’re a week into this shutdown and he’s trying to start a civil war. He’s really really bad at governing and America is noticing, even the people who compulsively ignore the news and politics, bc every day it’s getting harder not to.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Speaker Mike Johnson’s refusal to seat Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is more than the Epstein files, and a dangerous test of whether election results still guarantee representation. My latest

The Dangerous Precedent Behind Johnson’s Refusal to Seat Adelita Grijalva

On September 10, Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva won her Arizona special election, and nearly a month later, Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in.
