Fake news: City to be renamed Johnsongrad in honor of Mike Johnson.
(That's the only time Johnson and honor could be used in the same sentence.😉)
I'd love to see Clarence Thomas or Matt Gaetz under the same scrutiy as Fani is right now.
Allison Greenfield, the court clerk for Judge Engoron who was hounded by Trump during the fraud case against him, is now running to be a judge herself. The news that she's seeking a judgeship coincided with the verdict in the fraud trial.

It's merely a guess. I have zero evidence for it: I don't have eyes or ears in the U.S. Capitol, much less the Kremlin.
But I would think that if Ukraine aid had passed the House, Aleksei Navalny would still be alive today.
Nothing encourages Putin as much as seeing that he can pull strings in Washington, D.C.
@JoyfullyDazed What Fani Willis has ever done, is doing now, or will do in the future is irrelevant to State of Georgia vs. Donald John Trump et al. It doesn't change any of the evidence that presented to the grand jury, or will be presented when the case comes to trial.
For example, Willis had nothing to do with the phone call TFG made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

Republicans are treating immigration just like they treat education: cut funding, harass the people in charge, then demand to know why the system isn't working.
On her show, Jenna Ellis, former lawyer for the former reality show president, jokes that Taylor Swift may replace Biden on the 2024 ticket, and adds, “I would not put it past the Democrats who are using all of these social media influencers…They’re so completely just enamored with celebrity.” 🙄
Patriots, my ass!
"Because Republicans want chaos on the southern border. They want fentanyl flooding in across the border. They want illegal immigrants flooding in across the border. They don’t want the problem fixed."
It’s not patriotic. That’s sick.

GOP lawmakers now want the border security deal that they turned down after Trump ordered the leadership he didn't want another "win" under Biden's presidential belt. Mitch McConnell is now calling on Mike Johnson to take up the Ukraine/Israel funding bill, but several GOP House "need" border security in the bill.

The House-- After intentionally sabotaging a bi-partisan bill meant to address the immigration crisis at the southern border — votes to impeach #Mayorkas for…wait for it…failing to address the immigration crisis at the border.
Democrat argues Senate should hold quick trial on Mayorkas
President Biden also slammed the Republicans who voted to impeach Mayorkas.
“History will not look kindly on House Republicans for their blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship that has targeted an honorable public servant in order to play petty political games,” Biden said in a statement after the vote.
