Mike Johnson: It’s True. I Am Tuning Out The News Cycle To Focus On Self-Care

Can Tuesday’s Success Carry Democrats to the Midterms?

The short answer is no--don't dare count on it. Next year's elections will be hard, and it's way too soon to start "counting chickens."

D.C. Hoagie Hurler Trial Begins—And It’s Already a Hot Mess The DOJ wants the offending protestor declared the worst Subway criminal since Jared.

“The sandwich kind of exploded all over my uniform,” Lairmore initially told the jury. “It smelled of onions and mustard.”

A second defense attorney Sabrina Shroff, however, showed a photo of an almost intact sandwich lying on the ground.“In fact that sandwich hasn’t exploded at all,” she said. 😆

Huh??? I'm sad to see voters not showing up for local elections!! I don't get what you're saying.

That is possibly the most truthful thing he’s said in a long time.

Tonight won't stop the craziness of Trump's extremists. It will make them work harder to consolidate power and implement authoritarianism before the next elections.

Agreed. Neither Andrew nor Chris could carry their father’s briefcase.

do people not get that, obviously, no new migration & mass deportations would leave the NHS (in which 38% of doctors are foreign born) short staffed?

no, they don't. they've been lied to their entire adult life & think most immigrants came here legally to claim benefits

You should be so lucky for someone to leak your healthcare plan, for that would show that you have one.

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

Good grief…

More than 100,000 people in Monroe County receive SNAP benefits. Trump is targeting each of them by withholding funding that's already set aside for the program.

This is not who we are as Americans, our responsibility is to protect our communities.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

This country is allowed to have tariffs. You just have to convince Congress that they're a good idea.

The President can hold tariff powers instead of Congress, if you can convince voters to amend the Constitution.

If you can't convince anyone of anything, rethink your ideas.
