Mike Johnson's rhetoric is beyond the pale even for a Trump sycophant.
When all of this comes back to haunt him, what will be the response to his appeal to his Savior? "Was it worth it Mike?"

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.
"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.
You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Interesting developments among Republicans in all levels of governments.
They, and their constituents are realizing that if "it" can happen to someone, or to some city, or some state then "it" can happen to them and that "it" is unconstitutional and harmful.
