It’s been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was elected to the House, but Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in — because Grijalva would be the decisive 218th signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Take action with our social toolkit: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/adel...

We have reached the stage where legacy media simply ignores Trump's targeting of political opponents for prosecution. Meanwhile, commentators and pundits find ways to dismiss it or - in some cases - normalize it.

As of today, thanks to Trump, Americans are paying the highest tariff rate since 1933.
And the average household is going to lose out on $2,400 thanks to Trump's tariffs.
You are paying more for almost everything because of Trump himself.

The idea that it’s misconduct for a federal judge, at a private meeting of judges, and in response to the Chief Justice’s question about any concerns the judges may have, to express his colleagues’ well-taken concerns about whether the rule of law can survive, is not just preposterous, but insane.
Me on the factually misleading and analytically ridiculous misconduct complaint DOJ has filed against Chief Judge Boasberg—and the dangerousness of DOJ so openly trying to undermine public confidence in the only institution that has been even partially effective at checking the Trump administration:
170. DOJ's (Ridiculous) Misconduct Complaint Against Chief Judge Boasberg
DOJ's complaint that Chief Judge Boasberg engaged in "misconduct" would be laughably stupid if it didn't reflect such a transparently obvious and dangerous attempt to delegitimize the federal courts.
