People still believe and hope that the war will bypass their city Kramatorsk, because this city has become a refuge for many, for those who no longer have a home, as russian soldiers captured their city and completely destroyed their houses.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Donald Trump is forking over $20 billion of YOUR taxpayer dollars to bail out Argentina.

But he won't pay a cent to help American citizens afford health care.

Sounds like the Catholic Bishop in JD Vance’s home city of Cincinnati, Robert Casey, is wimping out when it comes to standing up for migrants. Ohio, in particular, needs better than it’s getting from its Catholic Bishops.
Catholic compassion means standing with migrants not tiptoeing around them | Letter
Opinion: It's time for the Cincinnati archdiocese to preach what it claims to believe.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Russ Vought is now officially using the government shutdown as a pretext for his continued attempts to permanently gut the civil service.

The executive branch cannot unilaterally reduce agency funding that Congress has allocated: This is a serious separation of powers issue.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

The high-profile success of Olivia Nuzzi & Bari Weiss sends such an awful, awful signal to, and about, female journalists. So many sharp, careful, dedicated journalists out there and *this* is what the establishment rewards? This is the incentive structure? It's so gross.
