it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution”

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.
Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

So many things. I'm actually wondering how the kids who were shot at their high school in Denver are doing tonight. That story got buried, but not for them and their families.

It’s the plot of a terrible dystopian film that never ends. Make it stop.
Concentration camps on American soil. Masked agents terrorizing our neighbors and abducting people off the streets to fill them.
As if that weren’t horrific enough—some so-called “Christians” are cheering it on like it’s some kind of twisted, dehumanization porn.
What the hell have we become?

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way.
She was confirmed, 59-34.
The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.
