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.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:

Anyone who thought the recent vote was more than smoke and mirrors was fooled. The truth won't ever be released as long as powerful politicians control it as many of them are, undoubtedly in the files.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

This is a direct threat to the fundamental rights of every individual and has no place in our cities.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Who could have foreseen Trump taking maximum advantage of the Supreme Court granting full immunity to presidents who sell pardons to the highest bidder and commit crimes?

Now the only remedy is impeachment, which he knows Republicans will never do no matter what he does.
