There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace.

Trump thinks renaming "The Big Beautiful Bill," "The Working Families Tax Cut Bill," will solve its popularity problem, just like when he thought stopping the counting of Covid cases would fix the Covid problem. 1/2

The US Constitution should be a cut&paste document. Or does it take recoding from the beginning to put it back?

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

I don't believe there is a 'coding error' that suddenly removed the specific text covering tariffs, habeas corpus, and emoluments. (kinda pertinent these days). Someone needs to track down and identify the responsible party, and disclose why they were editing it in the first place. Insanity.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Israel just killed hundreds of Palestinians, including kids.
The US just killed dozens of Yemenis, including kids.
"Why do they hate us?" asks the American public, blissfully ignorant of what's being done in its name in the Middle East by the US and its ally Israel.
Sigh.

Most illegal immigrants are fleeing horrors in their own country, here to protect their families. Most BY FAR, aside from being here illegally, are otherwise law-abiding residents who pay taxes. Trump is using our taxes to deport taxpayers waiting & wanting to become citizens. COUNTERPRODUCTIVE!!!
