Looks like there might be the necessity of another 'discharge petition' just like the release of the Epstein files.
In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

But there's a ballroom to think about!
Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Trümp's Gestapo
WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

The repercussions of Epstein continue to reverberate.
LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will strip Prince Andrew of remaining titles and evict him from royal residence.

Arguably, there's an element in the present administration that unfortunately characterizes those membership qualities as their fabled Antifa.🥲

💯% true.
Republicans do not know this. Help fund food banks. Love thy neighbor.
Reporters ask MikeJohnson... what does the phrase Love thy Neighbor means with referencing government. Ask Trump the cognitive genius to recite and discuss the Golden Rule, without mentioning the decoratoons in the Oval.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Not altogether surprising as the 34 count felon president issues commutations to his fellow convicted felon.
Mamdani, like him or not, you have to admit he is shaking up the Republicans big time — and some of the Democrats LOL
I cannot wait till he wins the mayoral election for New York City!

It's more than ironic to me that 2 of Trümp's favorite associates, Vladimir Putin & Benjamin Netanyahu, are bonafide war criminals & the special prosecutor appointed by the former AG Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, had had a reputation largely built on prosecuting war criminals.
"To fulfill his own selfish interests, Putin is tormenting innocent children mentally, physically, and emotionally. He should be boycotted. Putin is a war criminal.
Note: I am Nepali and I am not afraid to call out wrong as wrong. Putin is a criminal."

Quality that's SO telling about this delay is the fact that of 3 prior House special elections, 2 R's & 1 D, ALL were sworn in the following day with those victorious candidates. Apparently, a 218th signer for the 'discharge petition' for a vote to release the Epstein files is the primary motivator!

It's practically unbelievable the number of ways by which Republicans have misrepresented yesterday's national & global protest.
7 million people marched all over the world without one violent incident. Not a single fire. Nobody hurt. This isn't an insurrection—this is what democracy looks like ✊

I'm presuming that Speaker Mike Johnson cannot postpone swearing in Arizona's winner from its 7th Congressional district forever.
It's SO telling that the winners of the House's last 3 special elections, 2 R's & 1 D, were sworn in the next day after election victory!
