Mike Johnson is a weasel, a liar, and a disgusting tool.

Hang the plaque. Re-open the government. Release the Epstein files.

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.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

While Mike Johnson claims he doesn’t have a strategy, we know that’s a lie. His strategy: give tax breaks to billionaires and protect the predators since he won’t release the Epstein files. All while Americans suffer.

Mike Johnson brags this could be the longest shutdown in U.S. history—then Republicans jet off to Italy or France, because working Americans aren’t their concern. Brad Sherman’s “hard at work,” hiding behind another phone town hall. Reminder: No Kings demo Saturday—it’s the “We Love America” rally.

Shorter Mike Johnson:

Beating up a woman isn’t “really serious.”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

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

Welch: Mike Johnson-If he's a big Christian, he should be fighting for the marginalized, fighting for the poor. But instead he weaponizes his faith to lure voters in and then dicks him over every chance he gets.

When the government FINALLY reopens, democrats need to file articles of impeachment for the Venezuela strikes. 6 more people were killed today according to Trump, so the number is likely higher because I don't trust anything he says

Murdering 6 ppl off Venezuela coast isn’t ok just because they’re not white, a Trump supporter or play the fcking mandolin. This POSPOTUS waving his mushroom stump around thinking he’s Mr Peace when really he’s just the bad aftertaste of puke after a long night of drinking.

Someone told him a “wartime president” gets reelected, so now he’s trying to drag us into war with Venezuela.

Under international law (UN Charter, Art. 51), force’s allowed only in self-defense. No war. No threat. Just 6 men killed for a tweet. That’s not strength, it’s lawless.

As I previously said, the Trump Administration’s actions in the Caribbean Sea are illegal and unconstitutional.

Today’s military assault off of the coast of Venezuela is just the next in a series of criminal acts committed by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth.

The world lost a giant.

D’Angelo was more than a musician, he was a vessel of soul, a conjurer of feeling, a truth-teller in melody and rhythm. He bared his soul with every note and we felt it.

Don't choose someone just because they are young, & don't disregard someone because they are old. Choose them for the good they do.
If Janet Mills wins the nomination, vote for her, don't refuse to vote for her & allow a repub. to stay in that seat.
We must work together, don't let them destroy us.

If I could be assured I could choose one person to get PTSD from meetings, I would nominate Mike Johnson to be the one. Let him find out how unfunny PTSD truly is.
