This is the same Speaker who has repeatedly refused to put up the congressionally-mandated plaque honoring the Capitol Police members who were viciously assaulted by MAGA goons on January 6th.

We've seen your deeds, you oily liar.

Rep. Ralph Norman on Trump saying a wealthy donor is willing to pay the troops if the government can't: "Democrats underestimated the patriotism of those who are willing to pay the 1.3 million active enlisted men in this country."

Elise Stefanik is scrubbing photos of herself accepting awards from the vile Young Republicans caught in the Politico group chat. She supported every single one of them in New York State.

She should scrub her face from the Governor candidate race. This will surely be her last nail in her political coffin.

She's despised so much already. 🤨

"'The real question is like, why? Why is this coming out now? ...

Public health should never be politicized.

In the wake of the federal government abandoning science for conspiracy theories, it's up to governors to step up.

Proud to join my colleagues in the Governors Public Health Alliance to keep communities safe and put our people first.

Graphic of the Governors Public Health Alliance that reads Disease doesn’t stop at state borders - and neither should state preparedness.

Kaine: "We should not be allowing the president to create a secret enemies list and make the unilateral decision about whether to kill people without sharing that information at least with the Armed Service and Intel committees. So this is very troubling."

Neguse: "What Trump is attempting to do is create a perception that he has all the power & create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness in the public. We've gotta resist the temptation. He's electorally unpopular. In fact, the most unpopular POTUS at this juncture than any modern POTUS in history"

“Go to a No Kings rally. What do you see? You see moms and grandmas and kids and dogs and funny signs and dancing and happy displays of opposition to the regime that are foundationally nonviolent. And on the other end, you’ve got a regime that’s led by a guy who cheered the January 6th insurrection”

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
