REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Trump called on his DOJ to indict James & Comey

I called it what it is: a hijacking of the justice system to settle political scores

Selective & vindictive prosecutions like these are unconstitutional

That's why we @democracydefendersfund.org are fighting back

Trump is purposely driving up your electric bills to cater to his big crypto, AI, and fossil fuel donors — money from your pockets to theirs. He’s also driving up your homeowners insurance, hurting property values.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

There isn’t another side to the argument. Every actor in the system—from defense attorneys to Justices on the Supreme Court—recognizes what is happening. The only question is how the criminal justice system should respond.”

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Q: Will you consider removing new restriction on Pentagon press?

TRUMP: I think he finds the press to be very disruptive in terms of world peace and maybe security for our nation. The press is very dishonest

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

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.

It's always sad when you appeal your $1.4 billion dollar Sandy Hook judgment, and the Supreme Court tells you to fuck off with your bullshit.

Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better.
