BREAKING: Mike Johnson has just lost his ability to block a House vote on the next Epstein files bill.
A new discharge petition has officially reached 218 signatures, with EVERY House Democrat joining FOUR Republicans: Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Ralph Norman, and Brian Fitzpatrick.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act II would allow survivors, state attorneys general, and members of Congress to take the DOJ to COURT for unlawfully withholding Epstein records.
The American people deserve transparency. Epstein's survivors deserve answers. And nobody should be above accountability, regardless of how wealthy, powerful, or politically connected they are.
Johnson can no longer block the bill through the usual committee process, although procedural steps remain before a floor vote.

I'm no fan of Nixon. But there is a distinguishment between narcissism and malignant narcissism. Nixon had narcissistic personality disorder and as things worsened, his paranoia heightened - borne of fear. But Trump is paranoid, sadistic, and vengeful even in his sunniest moments.
How can you tell the difference between a narcissist and a malignant narcissist?
Trump just lost a major election because of corruption, and his response was to be more corrupt.
Trump just lost a major election because of indecency, and his response was to be more indecent.
Trump just lost a major election because of untruthfulness, and his response was to be more untruthful.
Trump just lost a major election because of untrustworthiness, and his response was to be more untrustworthy.
That's how you tell. Malignancy and defiance rules.

Streeting: If every NATO member could double its defense budget tomorrow, we couldn't spend it fast enough. The alliance's industrial base is too weak.
If NATO finds itself at war, Britain needs industry that can sustain the fight and switch to a warfighting economy. 3X

Streeting: Britain's channel to Russia is its embassy in Moscow, working in a hostile environment. I would much prefer additional channels, particularly military to military.
There is always a risk of miscalculation with Russia. That's why direct communication is important. 2/

UK Defence Secretary Streeting: There is some audacity on Putin's part to say he doesn't want war with Europe while he's waging one.
What some people call hybrid threats, I prefer to call state-sponsored terrorism. Europe must prepare for a Russian escalation — FT. 1/

"I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened..."
Disqualifying statement. This can't be our Speaker.

Honestly—and I hate to say this—this doesn’t sound like a statement from someone who cares all that much about holding this Administration accountable for its miscreant conduct.
I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."

With Republicans rallying around
- Pedo protector Jim Jordan
- War criminal Pete Hegseth
- Child separation ogre Stephen Miller
It's clear they din't learn their midterm lesson.
They're going to MAGA even harder.
What an insane timeline.

“Majority Democrats” is a great reminder that corporate-funded dark money Super PACs are legally allowed to name themselves anything they want in an effort to mislead voters.
