Thanks for finding me here on Bluesky. Taking a cue from my friend @breyeschow.com, and because I am getting a little bored of the same 3-line bio I use everywhere, I thought I'd ask my assistant, ChatGPT, to come up with a few different versions of a bio for me to share here.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.
You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Here's a clip from one of the church services — i.e., Prestonwood Baptist in Texas.
Reminder: As the pastor, Jack Graham, makes clear, this is not an actual clip of Charlie Kirk. He never said these words. This is an entirely AI-generated fabrication that, nonetheless, garners a standing ovation.

I enjoy Jimmy Kimmel but I'm not a hardcore fan or anything, but this decision to indefinitely pull his show just hit me hard this evening. It's just so fucking ridiculous that we live in a country where the right can bitch about 'cancel culture' and then they LITERALLY cancel people.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
