"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?"

A 19 year-old *United States citizen* was detained by ICE for *10 days*.
He told them he was a U.S. citizen.
They didn't believe him.
Heads need to roll for this.

"This is class warfare, and we can't afford to lose."
Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does.
So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose.
No paywall. Please read & share:

It's so embarrassing to be rich and not happy. If I had $200 billion I wouldn't be trying to impress Joe Rogan with my tough boy talk, I'd be jousting on jet skis, I'd be paying church choirs to sing dirty words, I'd buy one of the really big Lego sets. Being an angry rich guy is so cringe.

A far-right militia leader convicted of seditious conspiracy. A man who speared police and called Black officers the N-word. A QAnon adherent who graffitied “Murder the Media” on a Capitol door.
They're among the 120 Texans pardoned by Trump.

More than 100 Texans active in the Jan. 6 insurrection among those pardoned
A Texan was the first to breach the Capitol and many others joined the assault. The presidential pardon helps cast all of them as folk heroes.

Mr. Smith murdered his wife today, a powerful way to stop her from leaving him that legal experts assailed as murder
President-elect Trump and his family on Friday started selling a new cryptocurrency token, a potentially lucrative new business that ethics experts assailed as a blatant effort to cash in on the presidency. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/u...

It’s true that medieval people were very ignorant compared to us today. For instance, they would panic over mysterious apparitions in the sky, or believe that a strongman leader was blessed by God.

Vaccines are why 1 of every 4 of us didn't die in infancy.
Fluoride is why most of us keep our teeth into old age.
The ACA is why 21 million of us can see a doctor.
The FDIC is why we don't lose our life savings.
And a handful of GOP billionaires want to take it all away.

Musk always makes me think of this story from Kurt Vonnegut:
At a party he asked Joseph Heller how he felt that their host, a hedge fund manager, made more money in a day than he had earned from Catch-22 over its whole history.
Heller responds,“Yes, but I have something he will never have. ENOUGH.”

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
