I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."

I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us.

We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries and Adelita Grijalva. Speaker Johnson must swear her in.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

I guess they don’t think the images of Trump tearing apart the WH and grounds are helpful to them.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.
