Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.

But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

If you aren’t loving your neighbor, then keep Jesus’ name out of your mouth.

Healthcare for profit is evil as it is but "want patients to become consumers" is just despicable.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

"There will be some state-level reporting still, but this is the cornerstone of understanding what’s happening with #GreenhouseGas emissions, and the #EPA is doing away with it in large part," Ryan Maher, staff attorney at the Center, explained.
Environmental advocates are sounding the alarm as a new Trump administration rule ends the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, limiting oversight of factory farm emissions.

💡 “This move by EPA essentially eliminates responsibilities for industries to report.” — Ryan Maher, @biologicaldiversity.org

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable.

Did you know that pikas collect and store grass and other plants in hay piles to consume during lean winter months? A solid strategy to avoid that last minute grocery store rush.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Bone-sawed body parts don't just "happen."
Disgusting.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

This doesn't do a damn thing to make us safer.
 
Trump is going after people with work permits, not the "worst of the worst."
 
And he's traumatizing our kids for life.

The wealth of the 10 richest Americans has soared by $700 billion since Trump was reelected.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are going hungry because Trump is illegally withholding contingency funds that would keep food stamps funded during his shutdown.

Two Americas.

Johnson won't talk about the Republican health care plan—not because it's secret, but because it doesn't exist.
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

Trump just ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could reignite a dangerous global arms race.

He's also furloughed nearly all federal workers responsible for overseeing and safeguarding America's nuclear stockpile.

16 million children.
8 million seniors.
4 million people with disabilities.
1.2 million veterans.

That’s who relies on SNAP for nutritious food. That’s who’s being hurt by Republicans refusing to pay benefits in November.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

NEW: Huynh said Border Patrol's statement was "false."

“To be clear: informing the public and documenting ICE presence is not ‘stalking law enforcement,’” Huynh said.

What happened to him should “terrify every American,” Huynh said. @wttw.bsky.social
NEW: A Border Patrol spokesperson did not deny agents pointed a gun at state Rep. Huynh in a statement to @wttw.bsky.social.

"He was given a warning the first time he was stopped, and he ignored that warning forcing agents to get out of their car a second time to assess if he was a threat."
FULL STORY: A Border Patrol agent pointed a gun at state Rep. Hoan Huynh while he warned North Side residents that immigration agents were conducting enforcement operations, said Huynh, a Vietnam refugee who is running to represent Illinois' 9th District in Congress. @wttw.bsky.social
