A $50,000 bribe. FBI investigation mysteriously closed. Still appointed 'Border Czar.'

Who on the Trump-Vance team knew about Tom Homan's corruption before his appointment, and why did they cover it up?

Read my letter with @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @raskin.house.gov and Rep. Swalwell here:

US Rep. Eric Swalwell ( @ericswalwell.bsky.social ) predicts that dozens of Republicans may support legislation requiring the Department of Justice to release the #Epstein files.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Gov. Abbott says that if anyone attacks National Guard troops after Gov. Pritzker’s criticism, Pritzker is an “accomplice.” Interesting. Does Abbott apply the same logic to Donald Trump, who spent weeks “stirring up” the mob that attacked the Capitol on January 6th

It's weird that by picking this fight with Pritzker, Trump just gave political power and national name recognition to one of the only Dems with enough money and high enough approval ratings to make a real run at the White House. This has become JB's moment.

Pritzker is showing other Dems how to stand up to fascist bullies.

You don't reach across the aisle and tell them you want to be friends. You don't negotiate with limp-dicked wannabe dictators and terrorists who threaten your freedom.

Fuck you, come and get me.

That's where you start.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

yes, good to call it The Trump Shutdown... but also good to refer NOT to Project 2025, but to:

"Trump's Project 2025"

words matter! 🤔

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

The fact that Elon musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon all being in the Epstein files dropped out of the news way too fast www.bbc.com/news/article...
Elon Musk and Prince Andrew named in new Epstein files

if left to their own devices (i.e. do what they really want instead of operating out of fear), strongly suspect most House Republicans would gladly vote to release the #EpsteinFiles 🤔

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.
