A devastating flood tore through Kipnuk; five months earlier, federal funding meant to help the village withstand disasters was abruptly cut. Lee Zeldin revoked the grant, citing a new push to eliminate what he called “wasteful DEI grants.”

Total facist move. Hope the International Criminal Court is paying attention.

No. I will not vote to allow 15 million people to lose their health insurance and watch 50,000 Americans die each year unnecessarily.

No. I will not vote to double premiums for 20 million.

Republicans must come to the table and negotiate an end to the shutdown.

WATCH: “shows their disdain for law enforcement”

Speaker Johnson whines about Democrats disrespecting Capitol police officers, apparently hoping we all forget the literal insurrection that happened (that Trump pardoned everyone for)

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

The upper echelons of Republican leadership are unable to condemn jokes about gas chambers, rape, and slavery, and Adolf Hitler.

Democrats shouldn't let go of these Young Republican messages.

Have the right-wing defend it. The VP, JD Vance, already has, and the talking points have been delivered to the MAGA base.

They keep deflecting and doing both sides, but nothing is comparable.

Just keep it in the news.

We all know Donald Trump raped #KatieJohnson multiple times. If you haven’t had the opportunity to watch her 30 minute interview, grab a chair and a box of tissue. She’s remaining out of the public eye but I hope she finds a safe space to speak out soon. #SheShed #Pinks

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
