Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

*The president is all powerful and can fire civil servants, impound spending, redirect money and deploy troops despite numerous constitutional and legal restrictions but he can't spend emergency money for food stamps set aside specifically for shutdowns* is all-time amazing messaging.

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments?

Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

Lovely!!

A beautiful, brutal peace.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

I couldn’t agree more!

The most spectacular costume of 2025? That honor belongs to…

Several lawmakers said Thursday that the Pentagon relayed that it did not need to know the identities of those being targeted in the attacks or whether those killed had been trafficking drugs.
“What they told us is they have to show a connection to a designated terrorist organization or their affiliate, and as long as they can show that connection, they believe they are authorized to strike,” Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-California) said in an interview.

But such connections could be as much as “three hops away” from a known drug trafficker, Jacobs told reporters after the briefing.
Lawmakers said the military official leading the House briefing, Rear Adm. Brian Bennett, rejected Democrats’ observation that the way the administration was selecting targets resembled “signature strikes.” That is a practice the CIA used for years in Afghanistan and Pakistan when it launched drone attacks on individuals or groups whose identities were unknown but who were targeted based on a pattern of behavior or other characteristics associated with terrorist activity.

Trump administration tells Congress war law doesn’t apply to cartel strikes The Office of Legal Counsel told select lawmakers that the executive branch is not bound by the War Powers Resolution, which requires congressional approval for any military action that exceeds 60 day...

Make no mistake, these are extrajudicial killings.

The Pentagon admitted that they don’t need to know the identities of the FISHERMEN on the boats, and they don’t need to have trafficked drugs as long as they were three steps away from traffickers. (Think 5 degrees of separation from Kevin 🥓.)

My cousin was prescribed Austedo, which was approved by her insurance, after a trial pack from her neurologist really helped her chorea. Cash price was quoted as $9000, after insurance it’s $1,100 a MONTH.

I wish she hadn’t tried it because she got hopeful just to be devastated by the price.

The most pro-EU party just won big in the Dutch election D66 had a surprise surge, tripling their seats in yesterday's Netherlands election—and its openly gay leader Rob Jetten is set to become prime minister.

Breaking: it's now official, the pro-EU D66 party came first in the Dutch election. Their best result ever.

The National Press Agency has just announced the final vote count. It’s a narrow victory with D66 just 15,155 votes ahead of the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

Not sure who needs to hear this but we landed on the moon

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Great read! Thank you!

Excellent column!

I’m encountering more and more flat earthers, vaccine skeptics, climate change deniers, and it’s refreshing to read a robust, engaging column refuting it.

I had no idea Pittsburgh has been such an incubator for brilliance!

wait but Speaker Johnson said there was no contingency fund? 🤷🏼

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

It's weird how obsessed he is with Lincoln. Lincoln is ranked as the greatest president in US history while Trump is ranked the worst. Oh.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

This is so saddening. When you hear the republicans say they are pro family, call them out.
