Mike Johnson, whose claim to fame is a ridiculous selfie with Kid Rock, is furious that we’re pushing to force a vote on extending tax credits. You know what to do:

"Trump has said he has used an autopen for some trivial matters, but criticized its use for pardons...."

So he's going to go and manually sign 1600 J6 pardons then?

Fuuuuuck off

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

The EPA is starting to allow the use of pesticides containing PFAS on food.

The move is part of an effort to roll back the regulation of what are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down easily in the environment.

Lawyers for James Comey asked a federal judge on Friday evening to throw out the charges he was facing because the inexperienced prosecutor picked by President Trump to bring the case failed to secure the approval of the full grand jury that purportedly returned the indictment against him.
Comey Seeks to Dismiss Charges Based on Grand Jury Errors
The request to dismiss the case came after Lindsey Halligan acknowledged she had never shown a final version of the indictment to the entire grand jury for a vote.

US citizens being swept up in ICE arrests: 'We’re now a country where you have to bring your papers around'
The Supreme Court has given ICE free reign to stop and detain people based on nothing more than appearance, accent, job, or location, and this dragnet is now sweeping up U.S. citizens. University of Toronto professor and fascism expert Jason Stanley warns that "we are now a country where you have to bring your papers around." Furthermore, Stanley says that "if you instill fear in Black and brown citizens that they will have this interaction with ICE, they're much less likely to show up" to vote or participate in civic life.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

When will party leadership learn this lesson?
