Speaker Johnson wants an anonymous vote on releasing Epstein files.
If ever there should have been an anonymous vote, it should have been the 2nd trump impeachment vote in the Senate. I'd bet that trump would have been impeached.

Just one of the many reasons Congress rates at the very bottom for trust and competence. Senator Thune should step down as Senate Leader. He purposefully added amendment to govt funding bill allowing 8 specific Senators to enrich themselves.
🚨 BREAKING: Republicans slipped into the CR, at the last minute, a corrupt January 6th kickback to funnel millions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank accounts of 8 GOP Senators. Thanks to Trump, the shameless grift gets worse & worse.
Shutdown deal lets senators sue for $500,000 over data seizures like those in Jan. 6 probe
A provision of shutdown deal authorizes senators to bring lawsuits if federal law enforcement seizes or subpoenas their data without notifying them, with potential damages of $500,000.

11 million Americans identify as deaf or seriously hearing impaired. Why would ANY POTUS (even Trump) decline to use ASL(American sign language) at any press briefing? It was never used regularly until 2021 after court cases.
NEW: A federal judge said the decision by Trump WH to end sign language interpretation at briefings by Trump and Leavitt likely violated the Rehabilitation Act and harmed deaf people who communicate in ASL.

Listening to the argument before SCOTUS regarding tariffs and POTUS powers. IMO, it's very clear Alito and Thomas are attempting to support Trump's agenda, even offering defense that the Fed had not offered in their arguments. Politicization seems to permeate all our branches.

Regardless of your political party, how appropriate is it that the Trump administration provided congressional committee briefings exclusively to members of its own political party on multiple occasions, excluding democrats? This is unprecedented and frankly, spits on our US Constitution.
