NYT: “.. Johnson’s grasp on his gavel appears weaker than ever, as members from all corners of his conference openly complain about his leadership. Some predict that he may not last as the speaker for the rest of this term.”

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

Hmm. Ghislaine Maxwell is filing a habeas petition challenging her incarceration PRO SE (no lawyers). I guess even David Markus has his limits? Incidentally, she's worried that the release of the Epstein files would be devastating to her case.

Trump said he’s going to void anything Biden signed with an autopen.

1. He can’t do that

2. Cool. Throw all the J6 convicts back in jail - Trump pardoned them with an autopen

Hegseth and his flunky mouthpiece hopes there are people stupid enough to believe this. Which essentially means the MAGA base will buy it and nobody else.

Kamlager-Dove: We also know that DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located. This prevents their family members and lawyers from getting to them. And so we want to know: is this what also happened to Vicente?

Garcia: It’s been hard to watch Republicans essentially be dragged into supporting disclosure and supporting the survivors.

This could end today if Donald Trump just released the files, and yet they’re refusing to do so.

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

“Elon Musk’s charitable foundation grew larger than ever in 2024. But, for the fourth year in a row, the huge charity failed to give away the minimum amount required by law — and the donations it did make went largely to charities closely tied to Mr. Musk himself.”

JUST IN: Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Matt Van Epps on Thursday — less than two days after he won the TN-07 special election.

As a reminder, it took Johnson 50 days to swear in Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

Trump's ruthlessness is clear: he federalized 4,000 of our state's National Guard and sent 700 active duty Marines to threaten and invoke fear in the very people they have sworn to protect.

Wake up to what is going on in this country.

Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.
