Schiff: Why is this firing of FBI agents such an important piece of this whole effort by Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their enablers? Because .. if they're going to raid the treasury... They don't want an FBI that's going to examine anything they're doing.

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

"I have often grumbled, half in jest, that reality TV would bring about the end of Western civilization. I did not think it would also bring about the end of Western democracy. To paraphrase Don DeLillo: Reality TV has given us Joe Rogan; that alone warrants its doom."

Breaking News: Congress members will receive a raise in this new spending bill. A pay increase of $174,000 to $243,000 per year. Federal workers will continue to make: $7.25 per hour. If this isn’t the best time for government workers to resign, I don’t know what is. You’ll never been valued.

Remember the "Biden bribe" story? The guy who invented it just admitted to making it up. Remember the "FBI did Jan. 6" thing? According to a new inspector general report, they didn't. I'm sure Fox News et al will be suitably chastened. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
