In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

The only silver lining to last night’s cave.

i find every story about costco's brand strategy and overall approach completely fascinating.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything." For once, I believe him.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes. Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

Trump is like a toddler: time he spends asleep is to be prized, not resented. Every minute he sleeps is a minute he is not tantruming or breaking things or smearing his own shit on things.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

SHAMELESS & UNSTABLE SYCHOPHANT: "There will never be another like him." SANE AMERICANS: "Promise???"

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

We thought that Lindsey Graham was a boot licking sycophant, but now we know that he was really a prophet! 🤣 #TrumpSucks

The contradictory messages are happening because we have a senile old fool who is mentally unstable who bases his foreign policy off things he sees or Fox and clips from social media that his hacks show him. The entire world is less safe as a result.

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children? SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

Mango Is now on the new cushion

We’re less than a year into his presidency and we’re seeing recession-like layoffs, MTG is calling Trump a liar on CNN, Megyn Kelly and Ben Shapiro are beefing, and GOP influencer accounts are accusing Trump of gaslighting. Well-oiled machine!

This has me thinking about a mahogany box lined in ruffled cream satin.

10/10 take. No notes.

"it's a symptom of a deep and abiding dysfunction that Republicans, despite holding the presidency, the Senate and the House, can't fund the government and can't even get themselves to get together in a room to strike a deal."

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

The cope is real.

Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

i think this is a pretty good take on pelosi, who is unquestionably one of the most consequential house speakers in the history of the institution

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 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.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia has requested that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the now-former Prince, appear before Congress for a transcribed interview about Jeffrey Epstein.

Ahhhh, yes. The great red cities. 😂

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

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

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

What a sociopath does when another human being collapses in the room and so rudely interrupts his gloating:

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

It’s worth remembering this
