Speaker Johnson is a boldfaced liar. Republicans have done nothing to protect healthcare, rather they’ve tried repeatedly to dismantle the ACA. They hate it because it was initiated under Obama & they hate him more than they love hard working Americans.

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

The Democratic Party needs to get younger, feistier, smarter at messaging and more in touch with the electorate, both at the state and federal levels.
Democratic voters need to get more discerning about who they choose to fight against the rising tide of oligarchic fascism.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

It isn't until the 26th paragraph that there is mention that what Trump is doing is being challenged as illegal. And it accepts Trump's stated rationale to act.
Here is what I think: Trump is illegally deploying the military in blue cities to set the stage to interfere with the 2026 elections.
