Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Murkowski built her reputation as a bipartisan during Administrations that didn’t test her. When actual courage was needed she capitulated, fearing for her safety. And now her flood ravaged constituents will have no practical FEMA support to rebuild their lives. Lisa will be fine however.

I can’t believe we are bailing out that jerk who gave that other rich jerk a chainsaw to celebrate gutting our government programs to enrich himself and his billionaire accomplices.

I’ll admit that I am weird enough to want my taxes to pay for education help for disabled kids in America,

rather than bailing out Argentina.

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

I have an idea about reigning in the disinformation campaign from right wing media.

Pass a law that requires ALL news media to post the date and location of any footage they use in their segments.

Boom! Who’s winning the shutdown debate? THE ACA.

More Republicans than Democrats use the ACA marketplace. So the GOP’s base is relying on the same program their party is causing premiums to skyrocket.

45% of ACA marketplace enrollees are Republicans, and most live in GOP-held districts.
