Let’s keep this in mind, devout Christian Speaker Johnson tried to keep the house from releasing this report because he wanted Gaetz to be attorney general.

This is a fantastic interview by Ben Meiselas @meidastouch.com with Canadian 🇨🇦 NDP MP Charlie Angus. Listen to it's entirety. Canada must RESIST! 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁. Liberals, NDP, and Conservatives need to unite against Trump. I live in dread. Canadians need to UNITE AGAINST MAPLE MAGA! 🍁

Watch — Chief Biden economic advisor Jared Bernstein (during Obama) gets tied in knots trying to explain why our government “borrows” money it creates.

Rep. Dan Goldman: "I find it pretty ironic and hypocritical that so many Republicans have seemed to find the rule of law when it comes to Joe Biden's pardoning of Hunter, and are happily ignorant of the rule of law when it comes to Donald Trump and everything he has done."

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next.

"So here we are, with a career criminal who has suffered almost zero consequences for his litany of documented, provable criminal behavior assuming the highest office in the land and presumably eager to engage in far more. After all, who is going to stop him?"
