Hereโ€™s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

The president is not allowed to just murder people on boats when he feels like it and it is *wild* that the entire Republican Party has decided that actually yes he is

We really are in a hostile government takeover. Treason is the word. This administration (somehow) needs to be arrested for treason, and rid ourselves of them all.
