Mike Johnson is a liar, fraud, and fake Christian who has held leadership positions in multiple organizations that have covered up sex abuse.

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

Doug Jones won before & if you doubt he can do it again, you’re not paying attention to Alabama. Tuberville has a record, but so does Jones. If Jones jumps in, the contrast couldn’t be greater. A real Alabaman who prosecuted a KKK cold case vs Florida man who treats the state like rental property.

Shit. Pam Bondi has radicalized Reid Hoffman. 👀
The call for an investigation is an obvious ploy to avoid releasing the files. 

Simply release all the files, and expose the people who had both deep and ongoing relationships with Epstein.

Pam Bondi will not have a license to practice law when this is all over. You can’t stay a bar member and agree to investigate only members of one political party for child sexual abuse but not members of the other. And, you can’t do it after previously saying no one else could be charged.

In normal times, it would be a major scandal for the President to direct his AG to criminally investigate his political opponents to deflect from his own involvement in a major scandal — and for the AG to immediately announce she is doing it. The Epstein scandal and cover up just got even bigger.

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
New: Sens. King, Shaheen, Hassan led negotiations on a deal that will have enough Democratic support to pass in the Senate, I'm told.

This is the package:

- CR thru Jan 30
- A vote on a ACA bill by a December, on a DEM bill
- Minibus WHICH INCLUDES reversal of shutdown RIFs and back pay and protections against them happening in the future
PLUS SNAP is funded through the fiscal year 26

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
