The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

@stephenking.bsky.social, I have a question. How would you pronounce Ardelia, as in Ardelia Lortz? It’s a name I’ve never known before.

PS this story is creeping me, as a library associate, the f— out.

Thank you.

The way that his face looks like he took one that Hannibal Lector skinned off someone and glued it to his face makes me cringe every time.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Why don’t planners go from January to December anymore? They start in August. Okay, cool, for school, makes sense, but now I have four months in either my new planner or my old planner that will be wasted. IT GOES UNTIL JANUARY. @sbkslibrary.bsky.social

Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

As someone who was subjected to conversion therapy, it doesn’t work. It won’t work. It’s torture. I was hooked up to an IV and made to vomit watching gay porn for two hours per week. I was prayed over. Bibles and the Book of Mormon were shoved in my face.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction
