Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of a duĺy elected and certified congresswoman so he can protect a pedophile. His fellow Republicans' silence over this outrage signifies their support of his inaction--and the pedophile.

And subject their coverage to the same conditions their "big, beautiful bill" cuts to Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid have imposed on Americans who depend for their health and well-being on those programs. Sauce for the goose...

Brain fog? Is this adviser a bald Mike Myers? I'm older than Trump, on statins & aspirin, & know who was president on the January 6th he claims FBI agents allegedly infiltrated the crowd that stormed the Capitol. I also know that you can't walk from Iran straight across the border to Qatar on foot.

The threat to national security seemingly overlooked in all of this is that Qatar & China consider themselves "strategic partners" (their description, not mine). So Trump and Hegseth think giving Beijing a virtual foothold in both a U.S. airbase in Idaho & F-35 operational training is a good idea?

The Chinese now won't have to rely on the Secretary of Warfense's Signal chats to ferret out what they don't already know about the F-35 and its tactical application and operation.

"Hacks" is too much praise.

Jim Treanor @jimtranr.bsky.social · 5d

"Peace" is, uh, misspelled.

His defense: "Well, uh, my Secretary of Def--uh, War--telegraphs strike plan targeting details via an unsecured chat platform, so why's there a problem with me DM'ing my wishes and instructions to my Cabinet heads?"
