California deserves better. [Swalwell] “has the spottiest attendance record of any of the current California congressional delegation’s 52 members, according to a review of House voting records and the nonpartisan website GovTrack…[he] has missed more than 550 votes.” www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

Eric Swalwell absent from Congress since entering governor’s race
The East Bay congressman has not cast a vote since entering the governor’s race last month.

According to a recent Yale Youth Poll, an undergraduate-led project which surveyed over 3,400 registered voters, when folks were asked to imagine an unconstitutional third term for Trump, the president still took 50% of the votes among Republicans. What the f*uck!! It’s unbelievable.

Per NY Times, “Trump approved the release of the Epstein files but there are loopholes… including a provision protecting ongoing investigations, that could mean many documents would stay under wraps.” You can be damn sure they will be taking the next 30 days to redact any mention of Trump.

According to the Guardian, our orange-faced leader took questions from reporters for the first time since Monday, and refused to rule out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. Begs the question, how much dirt does she have. I’m guessing a lot!

Feeling like the Senate Democrats who joined the Republicans just flipped the narrative insofar as giving people the impression that the government shutdown was the Democrats fault. Most people had blamed Republicans. Everyone affected by the shutdown suffered for nothing.

Apparently Republicans in Congress have each received about $43,500 over the last three months for working 12 days and to do next to nothing, all while federal employees and lower income Americans can barely put food on the table. That’s the Grand Ole Party for ya. Billionaires first.

Don’t be fooled. The House recess and government shutdown are about one thing, that is, making sure the Epstein Files are not released. They are hiding behind the thin veil of a budget impasse. Demand your representatives get back to work!
