Next presser: “now that we told you about important news event X and you’ve had several days to look into it, what do you think about it?”

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Is that supposed to be a threat? 🤔

No one should be forced for sure! I just am part of the community of people who don’t want to be forced to do email or work at 9AM. 😂 I would happily work evenings if I didn’t have to work mornings!

This is brilliant

Was the auto pen involved? Nobody else gets to do a pardon except the president. if he doesn’t know anything about it, how was the pardon enacted? if he’s just forgotten, where are all of the headlines about mental fitness? Or is that only applicable for Democrats?

What we need is a few thousand people in DC 24/7/365. A constant presence of protest. It does not have to be the same people every day. We could take it in shift. But it can’t be one offs. This is the lesson from all the recent popular anti-autocracy movements globally.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

Honestly, as a night owl, I don’t mind answering emails at 10 PM. But I am not fine with working before 10 AM. Everyone’s needs are different. I think what we all want is flexibility around a limited set of core hours.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Also what is magical about January that would make a difference?

Everyone realizes that there will be no holiday air travel should this not be resolved by Thanksgiving, right?

And if Ds end up blinking because they can’t stand Feds and poors
going hungry, people better not give them any sh*t.

Is this interview being broadcast with absolutely no edits? Just verifying.

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

Mark Hamill too of course! 😊

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

Americans had the luxury of never having to do the thought exploration on how governments work. They’re all either based on trust or physical force. Laws only work if we all agree to follow them in general, & trust that those in authority will do so in good faith. When that stops, so does the law.

Always good when your childhood heroes turn out to be on the right side in real life.

“The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. …It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history.”

My people right here on this thread

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

Maybe address this by rearranging the economy to financially reward caregiving rather than hedge fund managers, pay living wages to workers rather than prioritizing shareholders, stop discriminating against older workers, place limits on private equity, & provide universal affordable healthcare.

Spotted at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Halloween bash:

Giant ice sculpture with built-in luge. Pour booze in the top funnel and it chills and shoots out the bottom.

This monster? Likely $5K+ for one-time use.

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.
