"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?
Sure, Jan.

So proud of my friend and fellow Welsh Pembroke Corgi owner @andrewfeinberg.com for asking this question:

THE SITUATION ROOM
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

I don’t care if Schumer voted no. If he’s unable to wrangle the caucus, he’s not an effective leader. I’ll continue to push for the caucus to elect a new one.

The DC Sandwich Thrower''s trial started today.
His lawyers say it's retaliation since the CBP agent hit with the sandwich was not injured.
The federal agent who shot Rev. David Black with a pepper ball at point-blank range faces zero charges.
A sandwich gets more accountability than a cop.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

We have (so many) questions. Is this part of a quid pro quo? Will the Qataris have their own facilities and security inside one of our bases? This needs some VERY serious oversight, if Republicans in Congress feel like doing their jobs at any point.
