Hey Mike Johnson. Whaddya know?

Think on this for a moment...

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

Good morning to these future governors!

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

The woman in this video had just had kidney surgery.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care. And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Hashimi: The individual I’m running against has repeatedly said he wants to close all public schools. And you know what’s really ironic? He’s an openly gay man who has also said he doesn’t support marriage equality… And as I’ve said: I’m ready to fight for his rights, even if he’s not.

Ukraine is forming a new Air Force command for drone-based air defense systems. This structure will oversee interceptor UAV units, specialist training, and the development of infrastructure for operator preparation, part of broader efforts to build a layered, more effective air defense system.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Over 1.2 million veterans rely on SNAP. Yet the admin is cutting their food aid while deploying 23,000 troops to police US streets. This is a DISGRACEFUL misplacement of priorities. As these cuts hit, please support your local food bank. #Veterans #SNAP #Volunteer Read our full statement:

As powerful as the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group is, all of its weaponry cannot stop a single drug overdose. So why send a carrier group (~4,500 personnel) to join 6,000+ troops in a major escalation? It won't stop the crisis Big Pharma created; the real culprits are in boardrooms.

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor. Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

Best treat of the night. #HappierHAMILLWEEN 🎃 😋
