To his credit, Jonathan Karl was ready for Johnson's bullshit and called him out in real time.
KARL: I mean, you could swear in Adelita Grijalva tomorrow, right?
MIKE JOHNSON: No, not tomorrow. We couldn't. We wouldn't.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance
However, they are weaker than they look…

The ability of MAGA to soak up pain when inflicted by their own side is fascinating. But if we pass Medicare for All which would save Americans lots of $$$ and provide them with copay free healthcare the inverse reaction would kick in and they'd act like you lit them on fire.

One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert

Congratulations, @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, on the well-deserved victory!
Adelita is our official Democratic nominee in #AZ07, and this September, we're going to make her the first Latina to represent our state in the House of Representatives. This is a big win for Arizona!

Spending the 4'th of July with family and friends. That's a wonderful thing. But right now for this country there is nothing to celebrate. We are our worst selves when we make the most vulnerable around us tremble in fear. Home of the brave my ass. We are the bad guys. ICE ripping children from

Trump strategically relieves pressure from Americans aghast at him obviously siding with Putin by saying empty words while he dismantles sanctions and withholds Congressionally approved support for Ukraine. Only the actions matter.
❗️Trump: "I'll be talking to Zelensky on Friday. And you know, I'm very disappointed with the conversation with Putin. I don't see him wanting to stop. And that's very bad. Really. I'm just telling it like it is - he doesn't seem like the kind of person who wants to end this war."

I’m not impressed by the gatekeepers kept me out narrative. No one is stopping you from being the next…. If you’re going to be the thing then be the thing. Don’t complain about it. The people that complain are generally not great.

A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship.
Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it.
What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

I spoke to employers who were seeking to help employees abducted by ICE - including one boss seeking freedom for a U.S. citizen staffer who was arrested in the space between their uber and the front door of their workplace.
Their boss had their U.S. passport in hand, pleading for their release.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

The idea that Musk now opposes Trump’s major policies and legislation is such an obvious corporate PR campaign full of lies it’s almost insulting.
One of Trump’s things is always blurting out the truth. And Trump simply admitted at the “goodbye”press conference that Musk wasn’t really leaving.

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.
