Still my all-time favorite congressional moment:
BAH GAWD THAT'S STEVE AUSTIN'S MUSIC
DNI Tulsi Gabbard conflates 'hack' and 'influence' claims about 2016 election | Fox News foxnews.com/opinion/americ…
Then-Senator Marco Rubio described Russia’s interference as a deliberate campaign of “active measures taken by the government of Vladimir Putin to influence and to potentially manipulate American public opinion.” Their goal was to sow “chaos and division in our politics, sowing…
“I am not going to address anybody individually” ….then goes on to address individually @RepThomasMassie for the next 60 seconds straight.
I have questions after watching this video: Why would releasing the Epstein files cause political pain to congressmen, does avoiding political pain take priority over justice, and how exactly is the Speaker being prosecuted by a vote on the Epstein files?
July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen. July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than you…
"...the second he started talking about Obama, I was like oh, he's guilty..." 🛎️🛎️🛎️
You’re sweating because you’re lying. You were the one who blocked the resolution and resorted to whataboutism. Enjoy the community note.
The Speaker of the House recessed Congress early yesterday for a month to avoid dealing with the Epstein issue. Mr. Speaker, the American people won’t forget. My legislation isn’t going away. It’ll be right here when we return and I’ll force the vote using a discharge petition.
Bombshell revelation by Bradley Edwards on @Lawrence tonight. The Epstein birthday book is in the hands of the Epstein estate. Lawyers will turn it over. I will work with @OversightDems to subpoena. This is about the victims and justice.
What the REPUBLICAN LEADER said in Jan 2020 on the House Floor: The “violent attack” was “undemocratic, un-American, and criminal.” He called it a “violent mob.” He said it was not Antifa. He praised the Capitol Police. He said Trump “bears responsibility” and should have…
We know the truth. Here’s the report: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…. Now that that’s cleared up, maybe you can answer why you aren’t following the law and hanging the plaque honoring the brave officers that defended you and the Capitol that day.
Notable that Rep. Jack — who worked for Trump in the WH — voted for the subpoena. Chairman Clay Higgins, and Rep Biggs were the only NO votes.
🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @OversightDems subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.
"It's very clear that Russia meddled in the election." — Then-Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 2018
BREAKING Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Trump in May that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files, and that the names of other high-profile people did as well. In that meeting, Bondi told Trump that they weren’t going to release any more files and that…
The old: 1. Admit nothing 2. Deny everything 3. Make counterclaims But it won’t work this time
Don’t know about y’all but I’m waiting for the AREA 51 file to be released. That may be the only thing that can save trump from releasing files related to his old buddy Jeffery Epstein.
It seems as though the Trump administration is willing to declassify anything and everything except the Epstein files. (1/6)
“No fear” over Epstein votes. We just don’t want to miss our flights getting us outta town for the next 6 weeks. Flights are crazy these days. Amiright? Totally has nothing to do with the thing many, many republicans (including the Speaker) said made them cancel votes.
Reporter: You had to pull the rule because of fear of Epstein votes— Johnson: No. We don’t have any fear. There is no fear here. I will not allow the house to be dragged into political gamesmanship
I agree with this. It’s a shame @elon alienated so many people and so few want to buy his cars now. It’s a great car. A safe car. But it is now a divisive symbol. Also, Trump’s policies will cost lives. And Elon got him elected.

Hannity 2019: I have zero doubt that Russia meddled in the 2016 election…I’m certain they did. Devin Nunes was warning Obama in 2014 Hannity 2025: They all lied. I’m proud that this show got it right. The rest of the media went along with the lie.
.@SpeakerJohnson, why are you running cover for an underage sex trafficking ring and pretending this is a partisan issue? MAGA voted for this.
