Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.
It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.
Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."
In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.
What will Mike Johnson's new excuse be for not swearing in Grijalva?
Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.
Never forget who sold us out:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
What is happening in the Senate tonight is a travesty and betrayal for every person who depends on ACA subsidies.
Shameful 🤬
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Let's fix that next time they are up for election. #PrimaryTheIdiots
@democrats.senate.gov the ACA subsidies are too important to cave now for empty Republican promises. DO NOT DO IT! 🤬✊🏼
Unacceptable. There are 189,000 people in my district who will be paying 50–300% more for the same, and in many cases worse, healthcare.
I won’t do that to the people I represent. I’m a NO on this “deal.”
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
When you desperately want to starve Americans:
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Ordered to lie, fired when he refused.
My thoughts on the 60 Minutes interview of former DOJ attorney turned whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, and why any prosecution in the Trump Regime must be viewed with skepticism, if not outright disgust.

NEW: Jim Jordan wants to question Jack Smith about his search of Mar-a-Lago, but Merrick Garland executed that search months before Jack Smith was even appointed. One of several lies in this letter demanding Jack Smith's testimony. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
Michigan Avenue right now.
And EMTs, and firefighters and doctors and nurses…not masked, violent brutes who terrorize children and families.
THIS is our leadership? 👀

Resignation letter from ousted longtime federal prosecutor in Eastern District of Virginia
It issues a scathing rebuke of Justice Dept leadership:
"The leadership is more concerned with punishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with protecting our national security"

FYI
This is an Epstein shutdown.
The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:
