Ha. The guy who's afraid of riding on a subway? Talking about a moon base, but not fixing road infrastructure or anything.

Just like the White House ballroom construction continues through the government shutdown. Where's that money coming from? 🤔

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1d

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

He just casually and flippantly drops that he has #PTSD from their failure to rip apart the #ACA in 2017

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 “Kavanaugh stop” refers to the Supreme Court’s recent move to allow federal agents to detain people using “appearance, language, location, or work” as factors—essentially reauthorizing racial profiling and detention based on skin color and assumed ethnicity.

Guess Bret got his fame after all.

A history of #ColumbusDay that I never learned in school. And you probably didn't either.

Columbus Day started because of the largest mass lynching in American history. Of Italians. It truly shocked me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_wG...

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”
