I think you can always tell when Mike Johnson is lying, he starts that blushing... 🤨

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

This is where we have to get our “Alaska” On.

The people from DHS mostly have absolutely no clue about life in bush Alaska. The people in bush Alaska will not have easy access to paperwork or help, some speak traditional languages first, and then there is “bush time”.

Look for ways to help Alaska

The fear-driven heroic fascist language so popular with conservatives should be enough to keep them away from any positions of power alone, since we don’t seem to care about the fascism, criminality, and complete lack of working ideas.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?
