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.

Current US Policy:

If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

GOP state senators in North Carolina have answered Trump's plea to gerrymander congressional maps to maintain their U.S. House majority in 2026. The redistricting—if adopted, as expected, by the state House—would oust one of the state’s three Black members of Congress. trib.al/zcXLngd

Take a moment to process this. The three wealthiest people in our country have more wealth than over 170 million Americans combined.

The same politicians beholden to the mega wealthy want you to believe that providing food assistance for children, seniors, and struggling families is the problem.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
