House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) backed off his claim that President Trump was an FBI informant in the case of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Johnson backs off claim that Trump was an ‘FBI informant’ in Epstein case
The statements from the speaker come as Democrats and a small number of Republicans are pushing for legislation to compel the release of more files on Jeffrey Epstein.

Presidents have a duty to uphold the law and serve the people and this president just doesn't get it, or more precisely, doesn't care. It was never about the country or its people for him.
The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Trump will do all he can to “fix” the 2026 and 2028 elections to secure MAGA victories by every method he can muster, however blatantly illegal and unconstitutional, whatever the courts might say. If every eligible voter shows up, we can overwhelm his schemes.
Otherwise, our way of life is doomed.

32 USC § 502(f)(2) would violate Article IV of the Constitution if applied to support deployment of un-federalized out-of-state National Guard troops into a state that didn’t want those troops there, as with Trump’s proposed use of the Texas National Guard to invade Illinois

Trump’s bid to blackmail SCOTUS into giving him the tariff powers he wants regardless of the law is really a bid to get the case rerouted to the Court of Claims while he keeps violating the Constitution and laws of the United States. I wouldn’t bet against him here.

Have you noticed that Trump only won the presidency when he had a woman opponent? Both times.
That says more about us as a country and our failure to recognize the power of women than it does about him as a man.

TRUMP CAN'T SQUAT
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

WARREN: Did you tell the head of the CDC that if she refused to sign off on your changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, that she had to resign?
