Mike Johnson if he had been alive in 1776:
"We expect the “Hate England” gathering in Philadelphia to be filled with angry rants and totally false narratives.
"Their so-called 'No Kings' meeting is only meant to smear a fine man in George III who is only trying to make the colonies great again."

The government is in its second-longest ever shutdown, food stamp benefits won’t be going out next month, many govt workers aren’t getting paid, and Trump is suing his own DOJ for $230 million while building a $250 million ballroom at the White House. Are we winning yet?

Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.

Phang: Don’t get distracted by the idea that this grand jury motion is going to have a lot of value.
The likelihood of a judge issuing a ruling anytime soon? Slim to none.
Even if it’s granted, it’ll be so heavily redacted that we probably won’t see a lot.

Scary @nytimes.com mini-doc on LAPD's violence causing horrific injuries to non-threatening protesters.

Has Musk apologized yet for his Hitler-loving AI?
I can’t see it if he has.
Have Republican and Democratic Party leaders alike demanded an apology from him and an investigation into how it happened?
Or is antisemitism just a cudgel used to attack supporters of Palestinians?

This headline is wildly misleading. Childhood vaccines ARE closely scrutinized. The real story- as outlined in the piece- is that this group of Kennedy quacks is attacking safe & effective vaccines that keep children safe from life threatening diseases.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.
Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.
Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.
