I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

How can he be allowed to demolish the peoples house and add a 90,000 sq ft tacky gold monument to himself so he can show off. The White House is only 59,000 sq ft. He’s telling us in so many ways he’s bigger than democracy, that he owns the White House and he’s remaking it in his own Image. 😡

His ballroom will be 90,000 sq ft. The White House is 59,000 sq ft. He’s building a tacky gold covered monument to himself to entertain his rich friends and show off. How is he allowed to do this? Destroying the people’s house. Let them eat cake. My God.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

It is shocking. Everything he has done is shocking. And that republicans don’t defend our democracy and continually lie for him is shocking.

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

The Republican government shutdown is putting our national security at risk. Furloughing 80% of the civilian staff that manage our nuclear weapons is reckless and dangerous. Republicans need to come to the negotiating table.

Top nuclear weapons agency to furlough most staff amid shutdown

House Republicans pointed to the staff reductions as a national security consequence of the shutdown, pressing Senate Democrats to yield and vote to reopen the government.
