Think of the quote in the photo below as you listen to this young man.

Every day, Mike Johnson blatantly lies right to the faces of the Capitol Hill press.

And every day they just take it.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

Instead of ridding America of "the worst of the worst", the Trump regime is hiring them as paid thugs to terrorize America.

USDA won’t use emergency funds to cover SNAP benefits, agency says The USDA won't use the emergency funding it maintains to provide food assistance to needy families during the government shutdown, according to an agency memo obtained by Scripps News on Friday.

I’m an easily riled up person, as my followers know. But nothing, NOTHING makes me angrier than denying food benefits to needy people and children. Fuck these assholes straight to hell. Fuck every last Trump voter with a rake. PERIOD.

Trying to justify the obliteration of the East Wing on ideological grounds, with misogyny, racism, and homophobia.

If people would just remember he lies about everything and will do whatever he wants because so far he's gotten away with it. If a majority of the court stood up to him, that would mean Roberts and Barrett joining the save democracy wing, he might still be stopped. But it needs to happen soon.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

We should stay home and not change out of our jammies all day, ignore responsibility, read a book or work on a hobby, and hold the kitties as needed.

These are not the droids you're looking for. Move on.

Trump is extremely unpopular.

Brutal.

A true leader would resign based on this alone.

Astounding reporting from the @washingtonpost.com on the deal Marco Rubio cut with El Salvador. For my full take, check out my Substack at: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

Chris Hemsworth's emotional journey after dad's diagnosis Chris Hemsworth reveals his father was recently diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimers and hopes his latest project will help fight it.

Devastating diagnosis (early onset dementia) but there is hope. Medical science is making advances (albeit slowly) in finding effective treatments for Alzheimer's. www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/enterta... #medsky

Tweet from Fred Wellman: “Weird. I was told it’s a war zone.” Below is a Time Out Chicago post showing a scenic city skyline at sunset with the text: “Chicago has been voted the Best Big City in the U.S. for the ninth consecutive year.”

Stay strong, stay beautiful, Chicago. c

It’s not “radical left” to demand that our tax dollars help subsidize the healthcare of the elderly, poor, middle-class and disabled. It’s OUR country. It’s OUR money. All civilized nations that can do it, do it.

And yes, they're trying to intimidate us but Pritzker's right -- everyone needs to be out in numbers at these events.

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

I just went to the No Kings website and counted 11 No Kings protests planned in Johnson's home state of Louisiana. Is he calling his constituents pro-Hamas?

Octavia Butler and John Steinbeck made the banned list. Read Kindred, Parable of the Sower, The Grapes of Wrath, and more. They tried to silence truth, empathy, and imagination. Let’s prove they can’t. What’s your favorite banned book? #BannedBooksWeek
