You know he refers to Catholics as Papists in his house.
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Local police terrorize Black people. They kill Black people with impunity. We've seen it on camera in the last decade, although the reports were always there if you were willing to look. They are completely militarized. Saying that ICE abide by those rules is not a change at all.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Not for nothing, but she was a judicial clerk, and then an associate at two firms in what couldn't be more than 5 years since passing the bar. She is totally unqualified for this appointment.

The attorney working for DOJ who asked to be held in contempt so she could get some sleep and said "this job sucks" was assigned **88** federal cases in less than a month, per a court docket search.

If the Tigers have to pay Tarik Skubal what he's worth in his last season with the franchise, they will intentionally harm their own chances of winning a World Series before their window closes.
If they get to underpay him, they won't improve the team, but they will pretend they are still trying.

If Junior had been non-tendered, it would have been a coup for the Angels to get him on a minor league deal.
So far this offseason, the Angels have signed or traded for:
Grayson Rodriguez
Alek Manoah
Vaughn Grissom
Drew Pomeranz
Jordan Romano
Kirby Yates
Nick Madrigal (minor league deal)
Josh Lowe
Trey Mancini (minor league deal)
Yoan Moncada
Junior Camineiro (minor league deal)

The funding deal provides us leverage to reject specifically this.
If the Thune/Schumer deal is enacted, then two weeks from now all of the govt EXCEPT DHS will have funding.
Ds must then reject even a penny more for DHS until we can guarantee an end to the madness.

The Democrats have trouble accepting a win. In this case they can fund the rest of the government and then hold out on DHS if they don't get their demands. But scuttling Transportation-HUD, and Labor-HHS-Education, they are hurting their own constituents and prolonging a shutdown that's unneeded.
NEW: House eyes Tuesday vote to reopen the government
Vibes trending positively for Senate-passed bill.
Trump told Rs to pass it unchanged. Johnson is confident. DeLauro is a yes but Dems are split. Jeffries not revealing his vote.
Bill puts DHS on a 2-week leash.

They did a good job of redacting the names of a lot of the perpetrators, though.
