Two astonishing facts in @axios today from @mikeallen:
"Did you know that during most hours of most prime-time nights, less than 1% of the country watches Fox News, CNN or MS NOW, combined?"
And-
"Billionaires made a stunning 19% of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024."

Of the approximately 400 Nobel prizes in medicine, chemistry, & physics that American scientists have won since 1901, 36% of the winners have been immigrants. Of the 100+ Nobels the US has won in those categories since 2000, 40% have been immigrants. https://t.co/B9qjxXXiMW

My constituents want me to get to work but House Republicans are more concerned about protecting the Epstein files.

So Congress is still paid during the shutdown…

We should go back into session…

We were scheduled to be in session…

We should work on the appropriation bills that are behind & necessitate a CR.

We should swear Rep-elect Grijalva in & vote on the release of the Epstein files.

We should have hearings about the political violence, the state of our economy, how to keep Americans safe from this out of control government & the list goes on, BUT, the “pro life” fiscally responsible party is ok with snatching healthcare away and/or making it unaffordable all while getting paid to skip out on work… GOT IT!

[Adelita Grijalva @AdelitaForAZ]

I would be the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want them out. The American people deserve transparency and accountability!

Robert "Magyar" Brovdi delivered hard truths about the war to NATO generals at LANDEURO 2025 in Wiesbaden.

🔻Key points:
• No tank in the world can withstand a $400 drone.
• What will NATO do if Shaheds fly over Europe? Your doctrines need an urgent review.
• Unmanned Systems Forces: 2% of the army, but eliminate one-third of enemy troops.
• We see no end to the war – not tomorrow, not this year.
• Four of our drone crews could destroy your NATO base in 15 minutes, from 10 km away.
• Ukraine is building a drone wall taller than the Great Wall of China.
• The Ukrainian experience must be integrated into Europe’s security systems.

Trump’s REAL true life lessons:
1. You’re never too young to take advantage of a rich father.
2. You have to love whatever makes you more money.
3. Think of BIG ways to blame others.
4. Work hard to attack anyone who disagrees with you.
5. Never lose your classified documents
6. To change the world lie your ass off.
7. Trust no one.
8. Believe YOU are the American Dream.
9. Always claim victory.
10. Be an original copy of your darkest desires.
11. Admit nothing and deny everything.

‘ A staffer from TASS, a Russian outlet that often promotes glorified coverage of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, was briefly in the room for the bilateral meeting with President Zelenskyy. American media mainstays Reuters and the Associated Press were not granted access.’

An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks sufficient air traffic controllers. The so-called “buyouts” and other attacks on federal employees won’t help.

Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden.
