Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

The Dems are trying to save our healthcare. Even Trump knows it. It’s why he won’t even negotiate.

A tweet from Blue Georgia reads: “Rep. Adam Smith: Mike Johnson has shut down the United States House of Representatives. I'm here. Republicans are not here…. Trump will negotiate with Hamas, and Putin, and North Korea, but he won't negotiate with Democrats?” Below, a CNN screenshot shows Rep. Adam Smith speaking in a hallway. The headline reads: “SHUTDOWN STANDOFF – TOP HOUSE REPUBLICAN WARNS AGENCY MANAGING U.S. NUCLEAR STOCKPILE MUST CUT 80% OF STAFF DURING SHUTDOWN.”

When the Supreme Court recently allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true: https://propub.li/47aawMD

50+: Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130: Agents also can arrest U.S. citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20: Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

So Abbott and others like him are now implying Americans peacefully protesting are all being lead by Antifa so the military must be deployed ahead of protest.

Abbott to send National Guard to Austin for No Kings rally

Abbott’s deployments come as Republicans, led by House Speaker Mike Johnson, vilify the planned nationwide protests as a “hate America” gathering.

ICE forces strip searches on detained women after visits in Southern California

Some people decide not to participate in in-person visitation because they don’t want to take off all their clothes in front of a guard.

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

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.
