To all @SenateDems and @HouseDemocrats… please vote for or confirm a republican or tRump stooge and I GUARANTEE YOU I will not vote for or endorse you in the next election. It seems a lot of you are lacking the spine necessary to battle the idiots in this administration. You are GUTLESS!

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

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.

Universal healthcare in Canada-what the F is wrong with you America. You are the most wealthy country in the world that you don’t look after your people. What is it capitalism? It’s terrible that a five-year-old child with a brain tumour that earns $50,000 doesn’t get surgery but a rich person does.

Donald Trump & RFK Jr don't even know the DIFFERENCE between Medicare & Medicaid; they SURE interchange the programs a LOT! As do a lot of the Media.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

tRump is an unhinged orange coward sitting in the shadows. You have to have balls to come after someone like that.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.
