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.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Australia has passed a Bill that will limit the total spending on a party by billionaires like Elon Musk to Just $50,000

This will ban billionaires from single-handedly buying Elections in Australia.

The UK has announced its toughest sanctions yet on Russia, targeting Rosneft, Lukoil, Naraya Energy, four Chinese oil terminals, 44 shadow fleet tankers, and suppliers of missile and drone components. The package also cracks down on insurers, ports, and financial firms enabling the trade.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Exactly this.

Health insurance in uk is relatively cheap at the moment, because it has to be to entice customers.

If we had limited or no NHS prices would go sky high

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
