[frantically raising hand] ooh, ooh. I know. Because Americans have a constitutional right to vote but don't have a right to open a bank account or drive a car.
Mike Johnson: "Americans need an ID to drive, to open a bank account, to buy cold medicine, to file govt assistance, even to attend the DNC. So why would voting be any different? They can't answer that question."

For weeks, he’s urged senators not to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which he accuses of leading a racist effort to disappear immigrants.

4 months after Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Forbes reports that Binance now holds $4.7 billion of the $5.4 billion supply of Trump’s World Liberty Financial stablecoin. That is 87%. It is the largest corruption scandal in the history of the US presidency.

Reminder that these "reasonable" reforms, should they be agreed to, means the Dems will give them MORE money to continue their murderous rampage across America.

Abolish ICE.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

There’s no war.
The US wasn’t attacked, and isn’t under imminent threat.
Congress didn’t authorize it.
Treaties don’t allow it.
Drugs aren’t armaments.
Drug traffickers aren’t terrorists.
Even with all that, we don’t know these were all drug traffickers.
And even if they were, they’re low level.

No shade to the Rep, but this keeps going around and it’s not true: He bought the paper in 2013, and the first known interference in the Op Ed section (or anything else) was his spiking the Harris endorsement in 2024. This per Marty Baron.

But he did just decimate the newsroom with layoffs, so…
When Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, he immediately took control of the opinions section. Now, he's laying off hundreds of journalists, including those covering Amazon.

This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of billionaires with vested political agendas taking over our media.
