Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

I assume that every single journalist reading this understands that the *first question* to ask the State Department tomorrow morning is how quickly it will provide a list of foreign nationals banned from the United States for statements made about Democrats or Americans perceived to be left-leaning

Also lying:
- your own eyes
- every bit of video evidence
- the fabric of reality itself

The corruption and self-dealing is staring you in the face. Hello?

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

Don’t forget that the government gets to meddle in the classes you pay for at college because “woke” something something …

“Other polls say the opposite…”

“Which one?”

“Uh … I don’t know. But the poll you cited is clearly biased….”

“How exactly?”

“Uh … which poll was that again?”

This is how it’s done.

It’s very easy, and it gets results, so if an anchor isn’t asking basic follow ups, that’s a choice.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

Ain't this the truth. This admin is the most feckless bunch of liars and empty promise grifters this country has ever seen.

Wow, they did all that and got *two* suspected gang members? Suspected? Wow. And two of them? Wow.

Plus a guy with a previous charge of marihuana possession? Wow.

Wow, that is impressive. Wow, when are we throwing these heroes a parade? Wow.

What a pair of odious toads; they look like should be trying to sell “gently used” cars.

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95%

Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.

In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

How can you negotiate with Republicans in Congress to fund the government when as soon as you reach an agreement you know that Trump’s OMB director will just withhold the funds?

Project 2025 referenced shrinking farmers access to foreign markets, restricting growth opportunities for
producers. (p. 307)

As Tariffs Send Coffee Prices Soaring, Some In Congress Are Brewing Up A Solution The cost of coffee is on the rise, thanks to tariffs. Congress has introduced a bill to scrap the tax—a move that could be popular as more Americans reach for a cup.

Trump says he’ll send troops to Portland to handle ‘domestic terrorists’ Rep. Maxine Dexter called the announcement “an egregious abuse of power.”

When does that 2A “defending the security of a free state” kick off?

If republicans think it’s crucial to keep the government open, they can keep it open without a single democrat. They can change the filibuster rules with a simple majority in the senate. It’s all up to them.

The image shows an X post from @PopBase stating that Pokémon has issued a statement to TMZ regarding a Department of Homeland Security video featuring Pokémon-themed ICE arrests. The statement clarifies that Pokémon was not involved in the creation or distribution of the video and did not grant permission for the use of its intellectual property. The post includes the Pokémon logo and screenshots from the video, depicting characters resembling Pokémon trainers in an arrest scenario.

Are people’s lives just a damn game to Homeland Security now? This is beyond sick.

Pure bloodlines? Ancestral homelands? DNA science says no. — Harvard Gazette Geneticist explains recent analyses made possible by tech advances show human history to be one of mixing, movement, displacement.

God: The Rapture will come without announcement, completely at random, surprising everyone, except I may give the exact date to a pastor in South Africa for no apparent reason.

From President Lyndon B. Johnson to the Smothers Brothers, who had a popular, bold, and very funny political satire TV show in the late '60s. I'm old enough to remember it.

They regularly skewered Johnson (Vietnam War era), and for all his faults, was elegant enough to respond thus.

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.
