Every time Mike Johnson speaks and starts spewing his straight-up lies, all I see is:

Watch CNBC's full interview with House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson House Speaker Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the latest developments in the ongoing government shutdown, sticking points in negotiations, SCOTUS hearing on the Trump administr...

On CNBC, Mike Johnson roots for the Supreme Court to give Trump โ€” not Congress โ€” full control of tariffs. "I'm cheering for the president that the executive will win," he says. And "I say that as a jealous guardian of the legislative branch."

Jealous guardian, LOL. Never was a speaker more supine.

Lmao they're caving and gonna fuck up all the good work being done. Mike Johnson this morning said that Congress is here to do the Executive bidding! What more do they have to say for you to finally realize Congress is done. There's no Federal Government. It's Trump and nothing else.

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan called out Speaker Mike Johnson for lying to the American people: He preaches โ€œtransparencyโ€ while running a shutdown circus. Her message was simple tell the truth or stop pretending youโ€™re leading. The GOPโ€™s moral compass is spinningโ€”and she called it out live.

Never mind that they're the majority party and didn't have to have the shutdown in the first place, but instead, they are playing politics with people's food, health, and safety.

Trump treats the words โ€œgroceriesโ€ & โ€œaffordabilityโ€ like a foreign language and posted 30 times about his marble toilet as he builds a $300 Million ballroom while fighting in court to starve Americans and take away health care - but yโ€™all think he cares about working people?

I'm here outside Speaker Johnsonโ€™s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

Change my mind.

The Onion Made an Absolutely Unhinged Jeffrey Epstein Mockumentary "Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile" is a very silly deep dive on a very serious issue. In the current media landscape, itโ€™s a wonder it even got made.

The Onion made an unreal Jeffrey Epstein Mockumentary - but following Charlie Kirk's death, it's national theatrical release was put on ice.

Never fear, though! @theonion.com figured out how to launch it anyways!

In 2016 Congress "scolded" Mylan for raising the price of Epi-Pens more than 450 percent, from a little over $100 to a list price of $600.
You know what the result of Congress's stern letters was on the price of Epi-Pens?
Nothing.
Epi-Pens are $100 MORE than they were in 2016.
Thanks for nothing. ๐Ÿ˜ก
