George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

*Trump’s redistricting pressure campaign could net the GOP up to 12 unearned House seats

*CA Democrats are mirroring the GOP's power grab to keep the playing field from tilting entirely red

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

But, boy oh boy, they can all sure tell you who used what bathroom, what time & what they did in there.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Mike Johnson and the rest of the MAGA GOP claiming that the “No Kings Protest” on 10/18 are America haters, terrorist and antifa

Thank you for proving our point. It’s about being Americans and protecting democracy from those who would take our constitutional rights away and calling us criminals

Kevin Kiley is one of the Rs that will likely lose his seat once #YESOn50 passes, unless he can appeal to Ds to keep him in place. Mike Johnson is losing control.

I watched Meet The Press on Sunday. No wonder Mike Johnson, Vance and others do her show. They talk over her and she either does not call them out at all or is really passive about it. I am frustrated with journalists not calling out lies; this is why so many people believe all this crap.

Mike Johnson said this could be the longest government shutdown and that he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats. Of course he won't; if the shutdown ends, he has to swear in Adelita Grijalva who would provide the last vote needed to release the Epstein files.
