it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

There are too many scandals to count in the Trump administration, but one of the most significant isn’t getting the attention it deserves. I refer to efforts by Trump and Hegseth to politicize the armed forces and to turn them into instruments of their MAGA agenda. wapo.st/4nEItvh
Opinion | Trump’s politicizing of the U.S. military is accelerating
Why are so many generals getting fired? Congress should summon them to find out.

The Great Gatsby examines how the pursuit of wealth can lead to moral decay. The novel was very prophetic. The Great Depression was soon to happen. Betting that dementia don never read it.

"I just got to say, Martha, that’s a lie. The health care battle is not about health care for illegal immigrants & Sean Duffy knows it. It’s about millions of Americans who in the last few weeks have gotten premium increase notices..." - Sen. Tim Kaine bluevirginia.us/2025/11/vide...

Nancy Mace had yet another bizarre melt down, this time in an airport where she yelled at TSA agents who aren’t even getting paid, due to a shutdown she’s partially responsible for, then justified it on Fox News saying she doesn’t want to be assasinated. Therapy, Nancy. Try it.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.
Here's another I was just thinking - got to shop Kings Road London in the early 80's. I might have my "Boy" tshirt here somewhere. And now I'll shut up :)
Im glad they denounced it,but I imagine there was staff and maybe parents helped with the construction. Wonder where they were. I worked once to produce a float - there were lots of hands involved
I saw lots of great music in this era. Saw Bowie on Serious Moonlight tour, PIL..

The OXFAM report on US inequality is out today.

The US is now worse than any other developed country,

and under Trump the deprivation has exploded.

The Oligarchs have won and taken most of the wealth;

international aid of food and healthcare is now needed.

I guess if we know which wrestling event his girlfriend is singing the national anthem at this weekend we will know where the FBI Director will be with our jet.

“They were careless people, Tom & Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” -- The Great Gatsby

crowd knows nothing about
The Great Gatsby or its author.
But Fitzgerald knew them. And him.
The rich boy.
Should have been a Marie Antoinette theme (even tho unlikely the quote attributed to her is true) #LetThemEatCake
“.. Guests were seen mimicking ‘Roaring 20's’ era attire, a period just before the Great Depression that historians note for its staggering income inequity.” 🤡

I guess his go-to excuse of "I don't know anything about it" doesn't work so well in the context of presidential pardons

I moved to the U.K. in 2017. I pay £10 for a prescription. I pay national insurance which is around £2000 per year (£166 per month).
The British also have to take 4 weeks holiday per year.
