Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

😬 whoopsy. Freudian!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social reports from Chicago: "Nothing about this city feels like a war zone—to use this city and others like it as a "training ground" is dangerously deranged."

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

It's official: 🏛️➡️ 🚫

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "They're trying to condition some of these generals to the idea that they should be using the U.S. military to enforce the political agenda of this president. It's not going to work."

Where have we seen this before?

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Minnesota Alliance for Retired Americans Educational Fund and a recently naturalized citizen and voter, my law firm has moved to intervene against a DOJ lawsuit seeking access to the state's voter registration data. www.democracydocket.com/cases/minnes...

Today, Generals and Flag Officers sat there thinking, "This is the DUMBEST son of a bitch on the planet." Which one were they talking about? Take your pick.

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."

tRuMp’s “address” today at the military conclave was a full-on audition for the nearest secure mental institution

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

If Congress shuts down and stops working, how will we be able to tell?

Gee, I wonder why?

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

📢🙌‼️ Good news 🥰 They'll have 'fun' finding another masochist to step up 😆 #OV1 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Republicans, get to work.

And after 40 minutes of cringe-Thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence. 👀 🦗 🦗

Even worse...Pete Hegseth...sees himself as being an intellectual; someone who knows what they are talking about. Even when striving to be as objective as is possible for me...I can find nothing about Hegseth that aligns with any of that. Not. One. Goddamn. Thing.

MIKE JOHNSON: FEMA won't be funded. It's real danger for real people COLLINS: The president talked about eliminating FEMA before this shutdown happened JOHNSON: He wants to reform FEMA

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

Senator Jane Timken almost laughed out of the during the Redistricting Commission meeting after she remarks that the word “fairness” isn’t in the Constitution. Chairman Adam Bird says crowd will be removed if they can’t refrain from “outbursts.”

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of four New Hampshire voters, my law firm has filed a motion to intervene in the DOJ’s lawsuit seeking the state’s full, unredacted voter registration list. www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-ha...

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

WATCH: "They are underwater across the board, and they know it. And that is causing them to double down in public. But it is backfiring. That is why—whether it's a shutdown, whether it's all of this—they want us to blink first. And we have too much to save," says AOC.

Has everyone heard that Reading Rainbow is coming back and that Mychal the librarian is hosting?? 🤗🌈🤗

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Conservative SCOTUS if you have a patriotic bone in your bodies and love the constitution, reverse the presidential immunity ruling. Now! Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth want to turn arms against Americans! You need to stop this madness NOW!

how am i supposed to work this week?

This photo just about sums it up
