Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Ignoring her lie, and that EMTALA has been in place since 1986 and Reagan, thus this isn't 28b of new spending by Democrats as she implies. That now 40 billion bail-out to Argentina's Milei ultra right-wing presidency would cover it, and then some.

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

Republican "transparency" was always a lie.

This could be a good thing. Maybe the press will dig for facts and details more often rather than simply regurgitate press releases, leaving lies unchallenged.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

Apparently Mike Johnson thinks terrorists typically ride into combat naked?

The hyperbole from Republicans is off the charts. Its insane. No matter how absurd, how frankly stupid, how false, they'll make any claim they think serves their own interests. And some people still believe them.

Good to see Arizona standing up to his obstruction.
Unfortunately, if litigation becomes necessary, I'd expect Mike Johnson to pervert that into obstruction too. Something like, "Not swearing-in when pending litigation is occurring", or similar lies. Disenfranchising voters is clearly a GOP goal.

No, Mike, you’ve got a strategy, the Johnson/Epstein Shutdown. Keep the Epstein files buried no matter the cost.

Millions lose healthcare, lives on the line, even your voters. You’ve worked 9 days since July, make $200K, free healthcare.

It's your job to negotiate, do your damn job.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
