I am an 82 y/o woman and I will need by w/c but I will be at the rally. Republicans are calling me a terrorist and an Hamas supporter. Steve Scalise(who I prayed hard for after his attack) called me a terrorist and Mike Johnson called the protest a "hate rally". Why? Why?

Mike Johnson will hold a call with the House MAGA Repub Conference this morning at 11:30
He's facing pressure from a growing number of rank & file House MAGA to call members back & pass emergency leg to pay military & other fed'l workers
Some also want him to consider an ACA extension now

Where is civil society as everything crumbles? You'd love to see some reporting on this but journalism is a huge part of the crumbling.

Can't manage 1% of the outrage over Bondi going to the right of Hannity in an oversight hearing as they did for Bill Clinton saying hi to Lorreta Lynch.

"Where's everyone else?"

Excellent point from Marc Elias on the complete lack of elite revulsion to Pam Bondi's sycophantic performance in the Senate yesterday.

Yes, but he has all the power in the world and his party is helping him destroy whatever he wants.

Is it possible that the entire reason for that disgraceful military meeting was because Trump was pissed that his birthday military parade bombed?

That is insulting to Goodwill shoppers. Don't look down on us.

When Johnson answers with "folks on your side are TOO." he is agreeing that Trump is unhinged. Good.

This video is encouraging to me beccause Mike Joohnson cannot hide the fact that he agrees, his woeful eyes speak the truth if he doesn't.
