Raskin: "In the very presence of the victims and survivors, the Speaker said that 'now is a time we should be working on urgent legislative work.' Mr Speaker, justice is urgent legislative work. The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Hey Fox, did someone in the administration just create a new Department of War on Christmas too? Hey Americans, looks like you shouldn't expect to eat too well or buy gifts this season in this economy.
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

Perfect summary.
Mike Johnson says he will continue working to cover up the Epstein files 👇
Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Every single company that uses a*i should disclose how often they used it, where the compounds are located that house the machinery for it, and every single scrap of data on how much energy, water and pollution it uses and creates.

Every. Single. Use.

Still
Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

Behn: My biggest pet peeve in politics is when people who don’t live in the South say, “You get what you voted for.” I didn’t vote for the highest maternal mortality rate in the country. I didn’t vote for the highest inflationary cost of groceries in the country.

The survivors and their lawyers have been clear—follow the money.

That is why the next set of subpoenas coming out of the @oversightdemocrats.house.gov must be the financial records involving Jeffrey Epstein. 

We are leaving no stone unturned in this case.

Mike Johnson pearl-clutches while he says he's trying to protect girls/now women who were victimized, trafficked, and raped by Epstein, et. al., – but he's lying. The survivors' attorneys helped craft the Bill.

Call Mike Johnson's office.
Demand full release of the Epstein files.
