“Speaker Johnson, can you name the planet upon which we all live?”

“I’m afraid I’m not familiar with that particular celestial orb, so no, I cannot.”

“…”

“Of course, I’d be happy to talk about all the posts on Adelita Grijalva’s TikTok account.”

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

So even though we now all know @GovBillLee was lying about the arrests in MEMPHIS being mostly violent criminals, Speaker Sexton continues to claim otherwise.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

Now we know why the Comey indictment is so absurdly vague: Because it's based on a bogus theory.

New court filings reveal who the DOJ alleges Comey authorized to leak info

A new court filing by James Comey's attorneys definitively answers a lingering question about the criminal charges against the former FBI director: who is "Person 3"?

BROOKE ROLLINS: Yes, the president has said he's in discussions with Argentina. It will not be very much. Argentina is also facing a foot and mouth disease issue.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Bower: But when you’re a sitting United States attorney approaching a reporter you don’t know, and you don’t set the conditions of that conversation at the outset.. of course, it’s expected that whatever you say is on the record, and that they can report it.
