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.

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

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

Holy shit—Donald Trump just admitted on 60 Minutes that he has no idea who the fuck he's pardoning. I knew he was selling pardons, but I assumed he was at least somewhat engaged. But this explains so...

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.
