Cuomo didn't "resign" like, say, Al Franken did—he had to be pushed out by a Democratic Party that still had a few scruples left before it got taken over by Schmuck Schumer, Notorious P-Lousy, Neutered Hakeem Jeffries, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Kumar Rao @kumar.bsky.social · 5h

Cuomo “resigned because he did these things.”

“People powerful within his own party forced that resignation because they knew he did these things. So he’s lying. … We have to repeat it, because people have to know what an abuser he is.”

Lindsey Boylan was the first of about a dozen women to accuse Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment and is now supporting Zohram Mamdani for mayor of New York City.

Is anybody who's ever had to deal with Rancid Andy Cuomo, even at a distance, surprised?

Cuomo just will not take NO for an answer.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Well, of course Mr. "Hillbilly Hypocrisy" is! He's hanging on until Trump kicks the bucket so HE (or more likely, his Daddy Dom Peter Thiel) can take over...Like Caligula.

Or so he THINKS....

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

Radley Balko @radleybalko.bsky.social · 6h

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Tweet from Pam Bondi:

Today following outreach from
@thejusticedept
, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target
@ICEgov
agents in Chicago.

The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.

I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.
