Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

I know some might be tired of me repeating this, but it bears mentioning again and again.... Trump is not leaving office. They are going to go for martial law if it looks likely that the GOP will lose the House. You just have to listen to them.

So is the plan that we're just going to ignore this? Not talk about it? Pretend it's not happening? Are Democrats going to run on stopping the unfolding climate catastrophe or collaborate in the right's denialism?

Mike Johnson warned us about "Antifa's Hate America Rally." We sent Sarah Matthews to the #NoKings protest in Washington, D.C. to investigate. Check it out:

There were several arrests today all involving MAGA individuals who attempted to assault peaceful protesters. Arrests were reported in Michigan, Oregon, Florida, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Additional incidents remain under investigation.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!

A successful protest movement requires as broad a coalition as possible. If you’re recoiling from the support of mainstream privileged segments of society, you’re not trying to win the fight, you’re just trying to win personal praise.

We have frogs everywhere. #NoKings

Welcome to the largest day of peaceful protest we’ve ever seen in our lifetimes. Today, we’re gonna speak out on a grander scale than Trump has ever seen. No Kings Day is going to be big, loud, boisterous, and joyful. Find your local event and let’s make history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE #NoKings

The frogs have spawned! Dublin represent! #NoKings

Trump is now going after Jack Smith. You know who seems safe from his retribution: Merrick Garland. Because he did JACK SHIT. Trump not being pissed at him is, low key, an indictment of his entire tenure.

The income brackets that determine how much Americans pay in taxes each year are moving up for 2026, with a bigger bump for the lowest brackets because of this year’s new tax law. Here are some of the key changes: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4n9lTdC

Trump pushes to change the maps in North Carolina.

Best in the nation. Nobody comes close.

MAGA just hate stumbled into wanting universal healthcare?

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals  You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages. Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base. They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable. Just keep it in the news.

The forecast for the powerful and deadly storm that battered small communities in western Alaska over the weekend was likely made worse by a lack of weather data triggered by the Trump administration’s cuts.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean. Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy. apnews.com/article/trum...

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

NO KINGS!

Two conservative newsrooms — Newsmax and the Washington Times — so far have joined a slew of national news organizations in refusing to sign an agreement with the Pentagon that could limit journalists' rights to gather or report information not officially authorized for release.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

According to the victim's attorney, the body camera captured the officer saying, “Do something, bitch,” before leaping out of the car and shooting her multiple times. Another officer asked, “Hey, what happened?” The first pointed to his camera, “Hey, don’t speak. You’re good” trib.al/KhKsfSb

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

ICE IS DISAPPEARING PEOPLE TO WORK CAMPS

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas
