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.

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)

📌During his campaign in 2015, Trump said he would replace Obamacare with, quote: "something terrific, phenomenal and fantastic" that would "save money and result in better health care."
Ten years later, he's still got nuthin' and has decided to kill the entire United States government instead.

When the right loses both Joe Rogan and Marjorie Taylor Greene on the issues in the same week, you know it’s going to get rough for Republicans.

Joe Rogan on ICE: “The way it looks is just horrific.”

QAnon queen MTG on the economy: “I’m just living in reality from here on out.”

Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act isn’t new, but it’s getting louder and from all directions!

We had years of warnings.
He told us what he’d do. Project 2025 laid it out, but too many shrugged.

How much is “enough” for everyone to start getting loud with one voice before it’s too late?

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · 18h

Workers are being threatened with RIFs, and when asked whether all federal employees would receive back pay after the shutdown, Trump replied, “It depends on who we’re talking about.” It’s the classic government motto: the beatings will continue until morale improves.

“The Republicans who cut Medicaid & are refusing to lower health care costs for working families are the same politicians who gave $40 million of taxpayer dollars to President Trump to build a ‘garden of heroes.’”

Seriously.
