Mike Johnson has lost control of the House, as we continue to push through petitions to force the votes he tries so hard to run from.

Congress may be closed for the Holiday, but their inboxes aren’t. Let’s flood them with messages and urge them to vote yes on extending ACA tax credits!
Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The Epstein Files: The Biggest Political Coverup in Modern History

The DOJ just scrubbed 16 Epstein files from its website, including a photo of Donald Trump, intensifying concerns that Trump is actively trying - & failing - to protect pedophiles.

This is the worst case scenario that everybody was worried about
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

Good to see.

More political leaders—including at the state level—need to vow accountability for the current lawlessness.
There will come a time when people of good faith are empowered to uphold the law.

When that time comes, Illinois will have the testimony and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent.

The truth of what Trump and his masked agents are doing in Chicago will be told.
"They had done nothing wrong. They were not protesting. They were not chasing ICE vehicles. They were simply shopping."

Hey! Remember when Barr (Bondi) withheld the Mueller (Epstein) documents for weeks so he (she) could mischaracterize what was in the Mueller (Epstein) Report and spin the findings for three weeks and then over-redact them? I sure do!

Give me a good reason why the lead story on every news broadcast today and on the front of every newspaper tomorrow should not be that Donald Trump violated at least two laws today — not releasing all of the Epstein files, and defacing the Kennedy Center.
