Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

On the left is Onyx, on the right is Opalite- do you now understand why the comparison in Taylor Swift’s new album is upsetting people?

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like:
"We need to make people work for more years"
"We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way"
"We have to cut benefits for young people"

never:
"We need to tax the rich"

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files."

"Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."
