Speaker Mike 'whatshisname' Johnson is tying $14.3 Billion in emergency funding for Israel to rescinding the same amount in IRS funding.

Slashing IRS funds will only benefit the 1% & corporations. He's trying to make Israeli funding contingent on a tax gift for the wealthy.

A fine may be fine for some but when a gag order won't prevent you from intimidating witnesses again and again only a jail cell will do.

.House Republicans members praying on the House floor offends both our Constitution and the New Testament, which denounces public displays of devotion.

The blasphemy of the new Speaker, who says God ordained him, is just as disgusting.

For all those with outstanding student loans - if you owe $267,230...maybe just DON'T pay it. I'm sure you'll be forgiven. Why not? After all that's what a Supreme Court Judge did.

Senate found that Justice Clarence Thomas took out a loan for $267,230 & never had to repay it.

We're seeing amazing progress in the Trump Georgia case. The DC Judge has shown a no-nonsense approach. The NY civil case is heating up.

But in the case that's so critical to our NATIONAL SECURITY the judge seems to keep helping Trump DELAY, DELAY, DELAY

Emmer wasn't voted off the island. He won.
Three hours later he seems to have thrown himself off the island.
Three hours ago Emmer was nominated. Now Emmer has dropped out.

The longer this goes on the better I like Hakeem Jeffries chances.

GOP State Senator Jeff Wilson (Washington) takes the phrase 'packing' very seriously.

He & his wife were on a trip to Asia & he claims he accidentally packed his gun. He was arrested & faces charges in Hong Kong.

Guns...GOP never leave home without 'em.

The Australian Billionaire who Trump spilled nuclear secrets to made regular payments to Prince Charles til he was asked to stop just before Charles became King to avoid any impropriety.

Hope Jack's DOJ team looks into whether Trump got any payments other than Mar-a-Lago dues.

My latest piece for DCReport looks at Trump's legal mantra of DELAY, DELAY, DELAY.
But Israel's intel failure is a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of leaked intelligence & why delays in his classified documents case are so dangerous.

Filing under Poetic Justice👇

The Dept. of Justice filed a lawsuit to seize a sanctioned Russian Oligarch's $300 Million Megayacht.

Reuters reported that the DOJ is likely to auction the ship and give its proceeds to Ukraine.

Karma... you go girl.

As we await another vote here’s jim jordan’s legislative success record: zero bills passed into law in 16 years in office.

May this foreshadow Tuberville's Tumbleville from the Senate.

I would say it should foreshadow a fall from grace but I don't think he's ever been there.

After a two-year hiatus I've started to write for DCreport again. My first piece shows how Michael Cohen managed to 'Trump' Trump in Court by doggedly pursuing the one thing that Trump is afraid to do...forcing him to speak under oath.

I read the Kamala Harris articles—and this is what I have to say about it.

To be a woman in the political spotlight is to be criticized. The tone of the article echos a sentiment that is tossed around in a sort of insider baseball— some people “don’t like the VP.” but when…

emptywheel I just laid out how Trump's MO is to Delay, Delay, Delay in this article about How Cohen 'Trumped' Trump in Court.
Trump will use similar tactics in the documents case. Jack Smith will surely 'Trump' Trump as well... but the Judge won't make it easy.

Ron Filipkowski Trump has nothing but games. And he just ran out of runway in the games he was playing with Cohen.

Ultimately, Cohen 'Trumped' Trump in court. Cohen won. Jim Jordan will not.
