The final guest to arrive at Trump's peace summit is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Oh wait no, it's actually... FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.

It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

Why is it when questioned Republicans in Congress and the Senate never heard, don't know anything about what every American C's & hears in any days news. What R they being paid 4? They R all fkg liers. It is such bullshit that they don't know. They do know because all have secretaries in the know

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

THIS IS NOTHING LESS THAN A SAVAGE REBELLION AGAINST MODESTY.

THE PRESIDENT MUST INVOKE THE INSURRECTION ACT IMMEDIATELY!!

THANK YOU FOR AVERTING YOUR EYES FROM THIS MATTER

There's a back-and-forth going on in the filings in the James Comey criminal case.... over how evidence/discovery will be handled.

This is quite an argument filed by the defense to attest to Comey's ability to handle materials

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

A radical neck dissection healed my cancer in 1983.
It left me with a 15-inch scar on my neck's left side which makes me look like my head is not on straight. I also have numbness in my left ear, shoulder, and arm.
But getting to live forty-four additional years was certainly worth it.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

I think it's wild that Netanyahu completely controls our domestic discourse with willing participants not just on the right, but also apparently on the left

Genuinely don’t think our political discourse is capable of talking about how Donald Trump—*Donald Trump*—just halted an ongoing genocide.

I have strong doubts that the 'ceasefire' will hold and lead to an actual peace deal, but it seems like, maybe, somehow, Trump kinda learned a lesson here...?

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
