Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes threatened legal action against Mike Johnson for failing to seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.

"Arizona's right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate."

If the No Kings protest is anti-America,

You bet your ass. It’s anti-Trump’s America.

And it’s protected speech.

Antifa? 😑 This is what Antifa looks like, last I checked.

An elderly World War II veteran wearing a beige jacket, red sweater, and black cap adorned with military insignia and the word “Liberty” sits outdoors surrounded by blurred onlookers. A red ribbon with the French Legion of Honor medal hangs from his jacket. His white beard and solemn expression convey quiet pride. The caption identifies him as U.S. WWII veteran Donald H. Carter, photographed after receiving the Legion of Honor during the 81st D-Day anniversary ceremony on June 6, 2025, at Utah Beach in Normandy.

Republicans refuse to pass a budget that lowers health care costs and puts everyday families first over billionaires. That's why they've been AWOL for 26 days.

Meanwhile, @housedemocrats.bsky.social are here in D.C. ready to work for the American people and reopen the government.

It's critical that we share the harsh financial realities so many of our families face to show Republicans that they must negotiate an end to their healthcare crisis.

First it was a $200 million ballroom.

Now he’s trying to build a grand arch on the Washington Mall—without Congress's input.

Creating a new D.C. museum or monument is supposed to be a collaborative process. Because these places belong to *all* Americans.

Trump treats them like his property.

Trump eyes a triumphal arch to mark America’s 250th anniversary

The arch would be constructed across from the Lincoln Memorial, on a small patch of federal land currently occupied by a traffic circle.

Q: A judge in Florida issued a restraining order against Cory Mills for threatening and harassing his ex-girlfriend. Do you think this is an ethical violation?

MIKE JOHNSON: I have not heard or looked into the details of that. I've been a little busy.

Netanyahu tried to dodge his court appearance by claiming a major diplomatic visit was happening today. That turned out to be false. So he showed up in court and then claimed he needed to leave and rest due to bronchitis.

Confirmed by reporters who were there.

The older population in Maine is increasing. The younger population is decreasing in Maine and the entire country.

Educate yourselves. Try replacing age with race and see what happens to you.

Screenshot of a Maine state government webpage titled “Ageism Awareness Day 2024: Shifting Demographics & Contributions of Older Adults.” The page header shows “maine.gov.” Below it, the article heading appears in bold black letters, followed by the date “October 9, 2024.” The subheading reads, “Aging Population: A Valuable Resource for Our Communities.” The body text explains that Maine has the oldest population in the U.S., with a median age of 44.8 years and 23% of residents age 65 or older. From 2020 to 2023, the state saw a 22.8% increase in people aged 75–79 and a 16.5% rise in those 80–84, while populations under 60 declined. The passage notes this trend reflects both national and global aging and is driven by residents aging in place, not migration. The final line includes a blue hyperlink to the “Maine State Economist Office Population Estimates and Population Projections dashboards.”

Let me help you.

You are a bigot if you use this word.

Age is a protected class.

There’s a fuckload of “old people” who fought for your rights and who have rights they need returned or protected.

I can’t trust people to do that who are bigots.
