THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WANTS PEOPLE TO RELEASE THEIR BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE NOT UNDOCUMENTED.
I WANT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES TO PROVE THAT TRUMP AND HIS FRIENDS ARE NOT PEDOPHILES ๐
@MDBayNews@RepRaskin In 1869, there were nine circuits and nine corresponding justices. Now that we have 13 circuits, it seems reasonable to conclude that increasing the number of justices to match the number of circuits would make sense.
Good question.
Also, why is Congress allowing Trump to IGNORE all the court rulings against him, as if they donโt apply to him?
They would apply to any other man or woman in the U.S. so why is Trump exempt from court rulings?
Is it perhaps, that the system is broken?
If, in 1869, Congress can increase the Supreme Court to 9 because there were 9 circuit courts - when Democrats regain power, Congress should increase SCOTUS to 13 because there are 13 circuit courts. #VoteBlue
Choke on that Mike Johnson.
JD Vance at a rally in Maine:
โNo fraud is too small. If you are defrauding the American taxpayer, weโre going to be doing everything that we can to put you in prison and send a message to the other fraudsters: The gig is up -- commit fraud against America and go to jail.โ
Who the hell is he kidding?
He forgot weโve been keeping receipts.
His clownishly corrupt regime has pardoned more fraudsters that robbed Americans than any in history.

@FloraLuzz_ If I am not mistaken, the fine print of that Bill says that the funds will go into an escrow account and the Senators will be paid AFTER the shutdown WITH INTEREST. No one really believes that John Kennedy of Louisiana would do anything honest and beneficial for this country.
@FloraLuzz_ I would love if they did not get paid but this is a political stunt. They would not get paid during the shutdown but Kennedy's measure places the salaries into an escrow account during the shutdown, meaning the money is not permanently lost or unpaid it is just delayed.
Congress no longer seems to approve when we go to war, decide tariff policy, or act as a meaningful check on the president's actions.
So what exactly is Congress doing, and why are my tax dollars still funding their salaries?
@NiallHarbison Hang in there Niall! I really respect the work you are doing and I love reading your updates. I'm glad you were willing to share this, so that others could give you encouragement. Take whatever time you need to get through this, knowing that there are folks out here that care.
