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.

“ I was a Federal Worker and voted for Donald Trump. He did not like immigrants and transgenders. I don’t either. Now I lost my job, my house, and I am a little hungry too. I think I might have made a mistake”.

This is what they have been preaching at MAGA churches for years, pastors invoking Trump as a prophet and king, indoctrinating the cult. This is the extent of MAGA "Christianity", they've successfully removed Christ and why they now openly attack Catholics and other denominations.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only) @axidentaliberal.bsky.social · 4d

In ruling that the government cannot deploy the National Guard in Portland

A federal judge finds that president Trump lied

“this Court concludes that the President did not have a ‘colorable basis’ to..federalize the National Guard..The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts”

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.
