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.

When someone who made a life of profiting from inhumanity is themselves on the receiving end of inhumanity, I don’t lose my humanity in response.
I acknowledge an act of inhumanity has occurred and will now cause suffering by people not party to it.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

To me, it’s almost immaterial if Trump “signed off” on this, it’s his pentagon, it’s his iron grip on the government and party; if you don’t fire or harshly reprimand your SecDef over something like this (after a Second time), it’s your call and the buck stops with the commander in chief. Sorry!

But I’m saying from an experienced forecaster’s POV that even understaffed and with the loss of a some data, that team performed better than private enterprise and deserves to be commended for it!

In Feb. on Velshi I said Trump won due to racial anxiety not economic anxiety, as evidence by his policies. The bill Republicans passed is the proof. Months of stoking racial fears through anti-DEI mandates, ICE raids, to push through a bill that takes food and healthcare from struggling Americans.
