Mockler: The way that Donald Trump speaks about the democratic party, the way that Donald Trump speaks about people who disagree with him, has normalized his extremist rhetoric. He said that we were gnats who need to be taken care of in front of the military.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says β€˜yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Mike Johnson is obstructing the US Constitution. President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a US District Court Judge for Northern District of Texas. President Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his own father – a notary public and justice of the peace.

Swear in Adelita Grijalva. Now.

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.

Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

Collins: When the president says there's virtually no inflation and that grocery prices are going down, do you agree with him on that?

Greene: No. I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Just got an email from the pharmaceutical company that produces a drug I have to take every month to let me know that my new cost is increasing 1000%.

(This is with insurance and with the company's co-pay card)

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Breaking News from CNN: A federal judge issued an order that the Regime must fully pay SNAP BENEFITS by tomorrow, Friday, because of a Convicted FElon's comment on Truth Social. The Regime stated that they will appeal the decision.
The Regime has only paid 50% of SNAP BENEFITS.

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar?

I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. πŸ€”

Omg.. c'mon media, when you ask "Why did the president pardon someone who he claims not to know", and they answer, "I haven't seen that." The follow-up is "Well now you know, so what do you have to say"?

This is just ludicrous. "I don't know" is basically "I dont care".

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

In his final time alive Dick Cheney spoke of the threat that Donald Trump posed to our Nation and that his effects will be globally. I do believe he regretted some of the power he sought for the presidency now seeing it being abused.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not.

This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.
