The East Wing is gone.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:
At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

People who mock the "No Kings" title, saying, "Donald Trump never asked to be a king," show:
(1) A gross inattention to what he is doing; and
(2) A profound ignorance of American history and what the Revolution was all about.

Trump on immigrants: "They send up their worst people. They send up people that are criminals. They send up people from jails. And the best ones they send are people that don't work very hard and that are on a social form of welfare."

This is Adelita Grijalva.
She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.
She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.
