Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

A little good news!

SCOTUS declined to review an appeal from Alex Jones. This left in place a lower court judge’s order that he pay $1.4 billion in damages to the families who lost children in a 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

A while ago @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social addressed this and said that while many PBs might want to join ICE most of them are basically unemployable. And she know more about the Proud Boys than most. My bad if my recollection is incorrect.

doj created an ICE force during the J6 prosecutions. NEVER going after the big fish pols involved. So, when trump cheated to win? He could pardon the J6ers so they could carry weapons again. They needed money and a job.

ICE was born as a violent, vengeful goon force.

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

Trump already gave so many of us jobs with ICE. We may have to start recruiting soon to fill all these spots.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
