When AI tries to create the quintessential smarmy creeper, the techies can just use pictures of Mike Johnson. Why mess with a proven product?

It is time for a Blue America Convention focused on how we can build a kinder, wiser, fairer, and greener society. The federal government is hostile. MAGA has irredeemably poisoned our nation and has undercut all we love and value.
We have nothing to lose but Trump’s chains.

Coward.

I am tired of a government that thrives on cruelty, lies, corruption, and insults. I am tired of seeing our tax dollars pay for ICE stormtroopers and missiles killing Venezuelan fishermen and billionaires’ tax cuts. I am tired of dreading the news and I am tired of seeing our nation be a pariah.

You can understand this shutdown with 3 numbers.

15M — the number of people Republicans want to kick off health care

20M — the number of people Republicans want to 2x health premiums for

0 — the number of times Republicans have called the House back to reopen the government

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.

Trump to Milei: "Do you need any Tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess, because in this country they use Tomahawks on the opposition. I don't do that. I'm much nicer. The Democrats would use them if they had the chance. They're sick people."

Again, it’s time to stop “band aiding” a failed state, and just start reimagining America.

Next up…Ukraine. I mean, why let Zelensky in “the room where it happens”? He’s not an oligarch.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 1d

Israel and Hamas both releasing people they've been holding shows they agreed to something. But the signing of the bigger deal—the one envisioning a longer-term plan for Gaza with an international stability force—didn't include Israelis or Palestinians.

I can't think of any other case like that.
