Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

No, Mike. Just… no.

I’d read about the crash in Brazil and the find of 200kg of cocaine in this single exploit but had not made the connection to the Kinehan cartel.

But @bellingcat.com does so here.

Knock yourself out with the podcast episodes then this. In between the two some of the Kinehan’s have been arrested

The theater of fascism, where the only thing that's real is the fear that it intends to provoke.

Palantir has pulled out of involvement with the UK Digital ID card, according to an interview with their UK CEO on Times Radio. They’re concerned about the reputational damage of being involved with an unpopular Starmer policy.

Google AI appears to block results for ‘Trump cognitive decline’ but not Biden Google appears to have blocked certain artificial intelligence search results for queries about President Donald Trump’s mental acuity

Mike Johnson is doing everything in his power to stall progress in the #EpsteinFiles case.

Now, he’s refusing to swear in Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva—the 218th and FINAL signature we need to force a full release of the files.

Joni Ernst: "Unfortunately, our farmers do need that assistance. They don't like it. They consider it welfare. They want trade, not aid. But if there's anybody that can make a deal, it's President Trump."

Trump portraying himself & Project 2025's Russ Vought as Death, dressed in satanic robes & coming for their political opponents.

It's what Charlie Kirk would have wanted.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Was anyone really expecting TSA to show up and not get paid?

The Prime Minister of Albania approached Macron, who was talking with Aliyev, and joked about how Trump ended the conflict between Albania and Azerbaijan.

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

She highlighted how vulgar, selfish and greedy many of the Tory Party were during the last government. Many of them, Mone most visibly, saw Covid as an opportunity to get rich off the state, rather than act in the best interests of others. Utterly ghastly and shameless.
