Today in America, deceitful "Christian" fanatics (manipulating a criminally insane despot) control the US gov't: kidnapping non-whites, slashing rights, & destroying Americans' lives—"in Jesus’ name!" they'll exclaim... I've had enough. And you?

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

And why didn’t he have the votes? 🤔

REPUBLICANS. Every. Damn. Time.

We couldn’t even get a public option. We compromised with GOP who then spent the next decade telling us the ACA was always horrible.

Gaslighting my entire life!

Remember that the real question about the Trump regime is whether they are more dumb than evil or the other way around.

Does not make them any less scary nor dangerous unfortunately.

Why the hell does Trump’s Department of War keep using RUSSIAN military images? This is by no mean the first time this has happened.

In 2020 Trump asked Georgia to find him 11K votes, and in 2025 he asked Texas for 5 congressional seats. Sadly, Governor Abbott is bending the knee to his King.

Vote yes for Prop 50 in California. Gotta have a counter punch‼️

Meiselas: A reporter asked the question that I've been saying over and over again to MAGA Mike: do you support repealing Obamacare? What's your health care plan?

To me, this is probably the most important clip about what's going on with the government shutdown, because the Republicans have no plan.
