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?

Governors should call up the National Guard and deploy them in all cities with ICE facilities with orders that they protect the local civilians from ICE! This is something that should be done prior to Oct 18th! The crowds will need protection and the Guard can do this.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

I didn't make this but it's amazing and needs to be preserved for posterity.

Except when Trump bankrupts them with tariffs. Then she will say nothing except for asking the rest of the country for welfare to bail them out.

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)

I get a kick out of people who say with great indignation that they're going to celebrate Columbus Day.

How, by getting lost in a grocery store looking for spices?

Every once in a while I have to shake things up and reinvent myself. It’s taking a lot longer to shake things up than it used to. No longer a young whippersnapper. Might be time to start planning another road trip and meeting more inhabitants of this here planet of ours ‘n’ seeing some new stuff.

Firing the people responsible for making sure states comply with IDEA doesn’t eliminate special education funding.

But, if you think all states will spend that money properly on those who need it, ask yourself why federal oversight was created in the first place.

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.
