What happens if he keeps the House in recess? Can he do that indefinitely?

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours. Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Evidently, ICE agents know the sound of a rape whistle and are repelled by it...

The jarlic use is out of control. Using multiple versions of Cajun seasonings. No thyme, oregano, paprika, cayenne, white pepper, etc… No knife skills, no dark roux. Not saying I’m the best cause I’ll never but, man, I try. I wanna do this culture and food justice.

They could also walk into SCOTUS & ask one of them to swear her in

I think he definitely has plans for NKD at least in Chicago

Instead Trump is moving money around at the Pentagon. That way he not only looks like some sort of hero, he furthers his intrusion into Congressional budgeting powers

The same ICE agent who handcuffed Ald. Jessie Fuentes has been filmed in at least 3 other violent encounters, including the viral arrest of a woman in Waukegan in front of the mayor. “He’s obviously a danger to individuals and particularly women," Fuentes said. Read more at @windycitytimes.com

I would like to see more short story collections.

He has questions. He wants answers.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

"After the warning, neighbors showed up and formed a human chain outside the church to guide parishioners home. NBC Chicago found more organizers doing the same for the beginning of the 6 p.m. mass..." www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/c...

ICE is all over the city and burbs today, including Waukegan. Multiple reports on social media from people who have found empty work vans and are trying to locate family of their owners. This is a near daily occurrence now.

Daylight Saving Time ends in 20 days.

What happens if feds refuse to follow court orders? Experts speak on arrests, crowd control tactics https://abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chicago-news-what-happens-agents-refuse-follow-court-orders-experts-speak-immigration-arrests-tear-gas-allegations/18000983/

OBAMA: “Better’s good… we’re not gonna get to perfect. Do I think single-payer with no profit motive would’ve been smarter? Absolutely.” President Obama tells Maron the ACA was a compromise because he didn’t have the votes for what he really wanted. #MedicareForAll

ICE/Border Patrol held a weapon on a guy who was demanding they show him their face in Rogers Park today

Presenting the plague of frogs on Portland. And yes, I choose to believe God has a sense of humor & is laughing at this too. There’s no better way to show how absurd a bully is than to ridicule their absurdity. Kudos to Portlanders! Stand United & keep exercising your 1A right to protest tyranny!❤️✊🏽

Charlie Kirk hasn’t said anything racist in over a month, so that’s good.

The Pentagon is telling beat reporters to sign restrictive new rules by Tuesday or surrender their press passes by Wednesday. Many news organizations are rejecting the ultimatum and saying they will not sign. Here's my latest >>> www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/m...

Why denounce what you are in agreement with?

Adelita Grijalva & Theft of Democracy: "In essence, Mike Johnson is refusing to certify a democratically held election because his party’s candidate did not win, and unlike the House speaker the woman who did win is no coward when it comes to taking on Trump." -Our latest column tinyurl.com/yvkmk7nc

Mike Johnson on the GOP shutdown: “Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock every day to fix healthcare.” And he said it with a straight face! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Have you noticed how Mike Johnson (et al) never knows a fucking thing that the rest of the world is aware of? Is there, like, an award for The Biggest Asshole who Feigns the Most Ignorance? Does he enjoy coming across as an obtuse, ignorant, lying, cowardly scumbag, which he of course is?

Airports are starting to refuse to air Trump's propaganda. On the same day that a second House member broke with Mike Johnson and demanded he negotiate with dems and swear in that duly elected House member he's refused to swear in. It's all coming apart for Trump. www.joemygod.com/2025/10/seat...

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Kevin Kiley is one of the Rs that will likely lose his seat once #YESOn50 passes, unless he can appeal to Ds to keep him in place. Mike Johnson is losing control. 📺 GOP congressman 'breaks with the speaker' on shutdown strategy: 'No justification' share.google/3qgv25dsxDCm...

BREAKING: Mike Johnson and House Republicans just announced their new healthcare plan: Die.

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Relax. 🙂
