So not only did Jeffrey Epstein do horrible things to teenage girls who get no justice, but the concealing of evidence surrounding his enterprise is directly causing hundreds of thousands of federal employees to lose paychecks because of sniveling little shit Mike Johnson.

The ugly mug of House Speaker Mike Johnson.

It’s OFFICIAL: there are more marble statues of old guys over in the House of Representatives than there are actual Republican House members!

If those statues could talk: What are the Epstein files? What are they so afraid of? They haven’t been to work for how many days? 20. Did you say 20? 20.

When my mother was dying (although we didn’t know it yet), the rural hospital near her couldn’t find a bed… even looking in Austin it took checking multiple hospitals to find a place for her. ERs and clinics are NOT ADEQUATE AND HE DOESN’T CARE.

Trump even “considering” not paying back pay to EVERY SINGLE FEDERAL EMPLOYEE is illegal and unethical. Keep pressure on Congress to stand up for us!

In 2019, he signed into law that the federal government MUST give employees back pay for the forced furlough time of government shutdowns… and now his stinks-of-Project-2025 administration can’t decide if they’re actually gonna pay people…

On Tuesday, the Trump admin said furloughed feds were not guaranteed back pay. On Wednesday, it sent notices saying they were

Just one day after taking a different argument, the Trump administration notes federal law guarantees back pay for employees sent home during a shutdown.

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.

Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Imagine signing up for the National Guard because even as a civilian you wanted to help your country, ready to be called up in emergencies and natural disasters… only to be sent to INVADE ANOTHER STATE by the national disaster in the Oval Office.

Illinois sues Trump over National Guard deployment

The lawsuit comes hours after a federal judge in Oregon barred Trump from deploying federalized members of any National Guard troops under Trump's command to Oregon.

It’s exhausting. I was telling my father yesterday that I was worried that they’d fire all the people processing those thousands of retirement applications for all the feds they forced/encouraged to leave… he said “they can’t do that!” “Oh really? Could they do *anything* they’ve done so far?”

Now, you know me, I never gossip. Except to save a soul. Or a conversation.

But isn't Kash Patel rumored to have lived with a boyfriend in Las Vegas?

Kash Patel has "summarily dismissed" a trainee for displaying a pride flag.

"Summarily" means without attention to formalities. And there are formalities for firing a federal employee.

So the twit Kash is admitting that the firing was done in a pique of bigotry, not in accordance with the law.
