Under Speaker Mike Johnson, the House can't cope with its fundamental responsibilities under the Constitution, which are fixing the budget and making appropriations... but it has plenty of time to discuss renaming the Gulf of Mexico and carving the Leader's image into Mount Rushmore.

I can't believe this. While Trump takes in crypto bribes, a senate GOP crypto bill is moving with some Dem support. First vote is tomorrow!
This is flying under the radar because crypto regulation is boring. Without Dems votes, this dies. Tell your Dem senator: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Taunting and threatening to remove the Fed Chair who he appointed is not a move that will reassure or settle the markets. To the contrary it will heighten a sense of chaos and disarray that are already undermining the position of American equities and debt securities on the global markets.

Voters want Kilmar García brought home — and they’re pissed Trump’s thumbing his nose at a Supreme Court ruling. This isn’t “tough on crime,” it’s lawless, un-American trash — and folks know it.
