Hobbs: He ran on lowering costs.

He’s doing exactly the opposite.

Whether it’s these insurance premiums that are going up, or the tariffs…

It is exactly the opposite of what he ran on. And the Republicans in this primary against me are the biggest cheerleaders for these failed policies

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Republican Speaker Mike Johnson predicted Monday the federal government shutdown may become the longest in history, saying he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats until they hit pause on their health care.” How and why are we the people allowing him to do this?? 😡🤷‍♀️

Pres. Obama to Marc Maron: "If you're a business, you say, 'You know what? We think it's important … to hire people from different backgrounds. And we're not going to be bullied into saying that we can only hire people or promote people based on some criteria that's been cooked up by Steve Miller.'"

Former fundamentalist Levins: Mike Johnson is a beta male in a patriarchal structure. He knows that he’s got to be obedient to his authority, who is Donald Trump—who to him is God.

ICE said they were after “illegal immigrants.” Then they targeted anyone brown, anyone Black, the homeless, children and even journalists. And they’re just getting started. If you’re wondering how 1933 Germany felt—look around. You’re living it.
