Mike Johnson’s entire strategy has been an objective failure that’s tanking the entire Republican Party, yet he continues to go out there every day and do the exact same thing. Truly incredible to watch. Keep going, MAGA Mike!

So, is MAGA Mike Johnson ever going to work again, or is he just going to keep humiliating himself by holding these weird press conferences every day? Trying to starve Americans and take away their health care to protect those in the Epstein Files certainly is a choice.

If we were a Republic functioning as intended with separation of powers, checks & balances, House Oversight would be conducting an investigation into the Zhao pardon that Trump doesn’t remember, his involvement with Trump’s crypto company, & the foreign investors. But we aren’t.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Now, obviously the cost of an employee is more than just their salary. But you’re still talking about paying ~20 people a salary of $100k with all additional costs (healthcare, retirement benefits, etc).

Assuming her security detail gets two weeks off per year, that’s enough to pay 23 people an annual salary of over $150k.

"Leaving his home in Ontario to work at a food bank Thursday morning, Carlos Jimenez pulled over to warn a group of federal agents that they should wrap up their stop of a car quickly because school-age children would soon gather there to take the bus, his lawyers said Sunday."

Sixty Minutes of Fiction: Trump’s latest 60 Minutes interview wasn’t journalism — it was a masterclass in unchecked disinformation. For an hour, he fired off lies about nukes, wars, inflation, and migrants while CBS nodded along. No fact-checks. No pushback. Just prime-time fiction packaged as news👇

If Trump can sue CBS over Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview, the American people should sue for every lie they let him spread unchallenged.

A picture from the party that Trump hosted on Halloween at Mar-A-Lago. One day before SNAP benefits are to be cut. They are spitting in the faces of the millions who will starve due to income inequality Ironically, the theme for this party was Great Gatsby, a book where income inequality is central
An opulent ballroom filled with many people dressed as Great Gatsby style characters. Trump sits at the center. This Halloween party was hosted 1 day before SNAP benefits were to be cut Is this our “let them eat cake” moment?

July, Dr. Tidmarsh warned that the initiative risks injecting politics into what should be a strictly science-based review process. When experts raising red flags are silenced instead of heard, the public loses trust and patients lose protection. Science should lead, not politics.
