Straight-talking Mike Johnson struggles to look at the camera when claiming to care about healthcare

This strikes me as pretty bad

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

A young Steve and Brad in jail for committing small shenanigans.

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence. They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws. Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence. So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans. Enough.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

Think about this: at nearly the same time, Pam Bondi was refusing to answer whether the FBI had images of Trump and young girls obtained from Jeffrey Epstein’s safe, and Mike Johnson was refusing to answer when he would swear in Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th vote for the Epstein petition.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

COONS: How did you conclude that these strikes on boats in the open ocean are legal? BONDI: I'm not going to discuss any legal advice that my department may or may not have issued

As it did in 2018, the White House plans to dole out relief funds to struggling U.S. farmers who have lost their biggest customer, China, because of steep tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan. MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting. Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Most Americans with health insurance should not have to pay out of pocket for Covid-19 vaccines, even after the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention added an extra hurdle to getting the shot. But some people could face new costs.

This.

Another tragic accident.

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. No jokes. No shade. No schadenfreude. The reason you never see ICE arresting Proud Boys and Oath Keepers is the same reason you never see Keanu Reeves hanging out with John Wick and Neo.

It’a just sort of a “Drift Away” afternoon.

P.S. As counter-intuitive as it may seem (because it is) laughter and humor during ugly, scary and dangerous times is the next best thing to real magic. I’ve always been my funniest…when the shit hits the fan. Drop the societal rules for appropriateness…and use it.

As the justices return to the bench Monday, the court will confront a series of cases central to the president’s agenda.

Yeah cool. Pull even more federal agents off counterterrorism, child porn, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and fraud investigations to do absolutely nothing.

Late Sunday, Gov. Gavin Newsom joined Oregon leaders’ pending lawsuit, asking Portland-based U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut to block Trump’s effort to sidestep her initial ruling by deploying California troops.

“For the record, Americans are grossly UNDER reacting to what's being done to their country right now. 🇺🇸”

Our military could be our hero’s again

My sister asked me if I ever get tired of writing about politics. "No. Because I write about freedom. That's the lens I see it through...and I am more inspired each day...than I was the day before. I find politics boring. Freedom...is endelessly invigorating."

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

January 6 was basically a training session for upcoming ICE agents.

FACT FOCUS: Republicans shut down the government to give him more time to hide the #EPSTEIN_Files.

It’s just after 1 a.m. The South Shore neighborhood is swallowed by darkness, sprinkled with the faint hum of distant traffic and the occasional siren in the far distance.

I can't be the only one that thinks of the glasses wearing nazi that gets his face melted by the ark in Raiders, every time I see house speaker mike johnson

Former FCC Chair Wheeler: An autocrat's favorite tool is a monopoly on telling the story. And if you can control the people who tell that story, then you've got an autocrat's greatest dream.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.
