I wonder what Mike Johnson is doing tonight. Must be quite something, for him to completely miss the election results!
I mean, I assume he's doing something else, unless tomorrow he'll answer questions with smth else than "I haven't heard about it, I don't know anything".

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Private equity gave $10M to Trump's inauguration. He gave them greater access to Americans' 401(k)s.
DuPont and Dow Chemical gave $750K. Trump exempted them from an air pollution rule.
Intuit gave $1M. Trump killed the IRS Direct File Program.
Everything is for sale.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Why aren’t state DAs charging these thugs with the crimes they're committing on camera?

Voters in red states are going to feel the pain from their choices. It's not about vengeance or whatever. It's just about time many Americans discover the concept of consequences.
Vote for Trump, get a 300% rise in premiums.
Then let's see who they vote for again, now that

If you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans.
📌 The top 10 states facing the highest projected premium increases are all Republican led.
