“Speaker, that’s a lie. Here are the facts”. This should be the response to every question, because every answer he gives is a lie and the media just allows it. FFS push back hard. I’m sick of MSM.

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?"

Trump Has Shown Zero Interest in Ending the Shutdown

That may change as more people experience negative impacts. But if you aspire to be the king, shutting down the government looks pretty good.

I’m completely at peace leaving this all to Maine primary voters. If I find a few spare USDs in my budget during the primary process, I’ll send some his way. I wouldn’t send any to Gov. Mills during the primary, but will help whomever emerges as the Democratic nominee opposing Collin’s.

It’s always better to know the truth so that you know what to expect!

Heather Cox Richardson is a historian I heard her say recently the same thing-dictators kill citizens abroad before they begin killing their own citizens

By the way, Slotkin is my senator too!

It is odd to have a Speaker of the House who is less informed of current affairs than myself. The only thing we know that he is aware of is that Adelita Grijalva is the 218th Vote.

The current work stoppage in the House is really unusual for a non-midterm year. It isn't about the shutdown; the House cast votes in October 2013 despite one. And it started earlier — about when Grijalva won her election. www.pbump.net/o/remember-t...

Remember the House?

There is a certain rhythm to the way in which the House of Representatives conducts its business. The House begins each year with a few weeks of voting before cutting out for an extended Easter break....

Today's "One First" explains why Stephen Miller is wrong that ICE officers have "federal immunity" from prosecution for all actions they take in their official duties, and that anyone attempting to prosecute them is committing a felony.

Supremacy Clause immunity is a thing, but it's *not* absolute:

186. When Can States Prosecute Federal Officers?

Stephen Miller claims that ICE officers have "immunity" for anything they do while enforcing immigration law. Even as an argument about *state* criminal prosecutions, that claim is overstated at best.

I continue to sincerely want the term “Kavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Today, I'm thinking of Paul, Sheila, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will. They were taken from us much too soon. We honor their memories by continuing to organize every day.

Paul believed that when we all do better, we all do better.

So today, stand up and keep fighting. 💚

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

The paper's arguments hinge on several methodological flaws, and it dismisses valid empirical alternatives. Plus: Gerrymandering, and the Republicans' lost lead on economics
