STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?
MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

This bill is an act of war by the billionaires and their white nationalist allies against the people of the United States.
It will take health care from millions of people to fund tax cut for billionaires, secret police to arrest the Presidentβs critics, and concentration camps.
Itβs fascism.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you.
The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit.
They just lie.

Southwest Nebraska hospital announces plans to close, blames uncertainty over funding
While Republicans celebrate the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in history, the Curtis Medical Center in Nebraska announced it will shut down as a result of these horrific cuts β the first of many hospitals to close.
This is a dark day for rural America and for our country.

The logic is pretty obvious here. Presidents canβt declare war so anything the president does without Congress canβt be a war. Itβs not an assessment of whatβs happening; itβs an excuse.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War wonβt cost a lot of money
3) We wonβt need a lot of troops
4) Weβll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) Weβll find WMDs
6) Weβll be welcomed as liberators

Photo of my hand holding a small white object wrapped in plastic that reads Skylark with very large urinals in the background.
Photo of a plaque on a wall that reads: oldest known urinals in Chicago, Trenton fire clay and porcelain company 1910, piss on history!

It isnβt lost on me that the suspect in the assassination of one of the most prominent women in Minnesota politics had a target list with abortion providers and advocates. Misogyny is deadly. My heart is with the victims, their families, and everyone affected.

For years, commentators have talked about how Trump reshaped the Republican Party in the populist mold. Indeed, Trumpism has seen Republicans abandon many of their publicly held commitments. The GOP says it champions fiscal discipline while growing the debt at every opportunity. It talks about individual merit while endorsing discrimination against groups based on gender, race, national origin, and sexual orientation. It blathers about free speech while using state power to engage in the most sweeping national-censorship campaign since the Red Scare. Republicans warn us about the βweaponizationβ of the legal system while seeking to prosecute critics for political crimes and deporting apparently innocent people to Gulags without a shred of due process. The GOP venerates Christianity while engaging in the kind of performative cruelty early Christians associated with paganism. It preaches family values while destroying families it refuses to recognize as such.
Yet the one bridge that connects Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush to Donald Trump is slashing public services while showering tax cuts on the rich. This is the Republican Partyβs most sacred, fundamental value, the one it almost never betrays. Whatever else Trump and Musk may fight about, they are faithful to that.
