The Inmates Run the Asylum

They’ve learned absolutely nothing…

Republicans just got their asses handed to them, and their response is to put Jim Jordan in charge. The same Jim Jordan who used his power in Congress to come after me and my business because Laura Loomer fed him a conspiracy theory. This is exactly why Endless Urgency exists. We’re building independent media that isn’t afraid to name names, expose abuses of power, and confront the MAGA propaganda machine on its own turf.

I’ve been making the case to you all week that Republicans learned absolutely nothing from last week’s drubbing in the midterms. So I wasn’t the least bit surprised when they turned around and made Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan the House GOP minority leader.

This is them doubling down, again, on everything they’ve done over the last ten years to wreck this country and piss off the American people. It’s no different than Donald Trump deciding that what the White House really needed after an electoral beatdown was Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff. These people are extremists. They are wildly out of touch. They don’t give a damn about you. They serve a class of people who abuse our political system and our government for profit and to protect themselves from the many crimes they commit.

And I know exactly who Jim Jordan is, because he’s come after me personally.

Jordan takes orders from the bigger scumbags like Donald Trump and Laura Loomer. When Loomer cooked up a conspiracy theory about me and my company, Jordan was the one who abused his power as chair of the House Judiciary Committee to open an investigation and to harass me for close to a year. He’s also the reason, alongside Loomer, that the Department of Justice is now investigating my business over baseless conspiracy theories.

A conspiracy theorist with a social media account says jump, and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the United States House of Representatives asks how high. That’s who Republicans just handed the keys to.

And I’m not special. If he’ll do this to me, he’ll do it to anyone who gets in his way. He abuses power the exact same way Donald Trump abuses power. That’s why Trump loves him. That’s why right-wing media loves him. He’s an extension of the policies and criminalities that has come to define that party.

While Americans are worried about paying their bills, buying a home, and having enough money to retire, these guys are busy weaponizing the government for political gain. And I’m not going to let them intimidate me into silence. Endless Urgency is about fighting for a government that actually serves you, exposing the people who abuse their power, and making sure the next generation of leaders never forgets who they’re supposed to work for. Paid subscribers make this possible. For $8/month, you can help us grow our team, expand our reach, and keep holding these people accountable.

For those lucky enough not to know the man, here’s the short version. He tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election. He refused to comply with multiple subpoenas meant to uncover the details of the January 6th riot. He has voted to end Medicare as we know it and for a budget that would force huge cuts to Social Security. He has voted against aid for 9/11 victims and against expanded health care for veterans. He supports a nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother. And he was complicit in a sexual assault cover-up while working as an assistant coach at Ohio State University.

The man is an absolute scumbag. And his promotion tells you there is nobody left in what remains of the Republican Party in Washington willing to stand up to Donald Trump. The inmates run the asylum.

Look at what just happened to these people. They lost dozens of House seats on a map they gerrymandered themselves. They lost nine Senate seats. They lost critical battleground states like Texas to Democrats for the first time in a very, very long time. Any normal person would look in the mirror after that and ask what the hell they did wrong.

But these people aren’t normal. Donald Trump certainly isn’t. J.D. Vance isn’t. Stephen Miller isn’t. Jim Jordan isn’t. None of them are.

I see it every time I go on right-wing cable news and argue with these people. It’s the same tired talking points I’ve been hearing for two years: they’re trans-ing your kid, it’s Joe Biden’s fault gas is expensive, Democrats are communists. They have nothing but a bunch of bullshit the American people don’t believe or care about. Meanwhile, people can’t afford the material things that give them dignity, and fulfillment. A good-paying job. A house. A family. A hobby. A goddamn vacation. Enough money in retirement to know you won’t have to work until the day you die.

These are not hard things to deliver for the American people. The problem is that we have an entire political party that would rather defend and align with crooks and abusers than provide for their constituents. They’re owned by people like Elon Musk, and they’re run by people like Jim Jordan. Ideologues without an empathetic, caring, thoughtful bone in their bodies are the ones pulling the strings, and that needs to end.

So keep enjoying these victories. Watch the votes tick in from Alaska and Mississippi, and get ready to celebrate Mary Peltola and Scott Colom.

But don’t kid yourself into believing this fight is over. They just told you exactly who they’re going to be for the next two years. They’re doubling down on everything that ruined people’s lives in this country and made every American less safe. So we have to double down on what won us so many elections last week: fighting like hell for the working class and for this country. It’s a great country, despite people like Donald Trump and Jim Jordan. And we keep fighting until we close the door on Trump and his MAGA movement in 2028, for a very long time, if not forever.

Here’s the truth. Jim Jordan and Laura Loomer have spent the last year trying to shut me up. They’ve tried to scare me, drain me, and bury me in investigations. It hasn’t worked, and paid subscribers are a big reason why. You’re why I can keep going on their networks, keep naming names, and keep telling you the truth about these people without blinking.

If you want someone in your corner who’s going to keep swinging for the next two years, become a paid subscriber today. They’re not backing down. Neither am I.

With urgency,
