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

The most powerful force in American politics today is anti-establishment rage at a system that’s rigged against most people.

Democrats should ignore the carping of corporate-backed Wall Street Democrats and embrace Zohran Mamdani and other young progressives as the future of the party.

Trump claims the US is in “armed conflict with Latin American drug cartels,” using this vague claim to justify his assassinations.
Some in Congress, which has the sole authority to declare war & has not formally authorized the use of force in this instance, have pushed back against Trump’s claims.

Courageously changing things that are,
Wisely discerning the difference,
Acting with justice & temperance.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei made the remarks in a statement on Tuesday, addressing the [Israeli] regime’s outright transgressions throughout the day that had killed and wounded at least 10 Palestinians across the coastal sliver.

This admin RELIES on news media outlets to spread its false propaganda.

Refusing to give them this free coverage is a serious blow — to them!

Make T’s admin PAY to spread propaganda.
🛑 giving them free, unfettered access to the PUBLIC AIRWAVES.

After-all, the airwaves technically belong to us!

Given how this administration lies at every turn, “access” means little anyway.

Better to actually be the non-embedded, unbiased, “check and balance” on power that the press was intended to be.

- It deprives Americans of truth. The public’s right to know how our military operates (especially in matters of war, spending, and policy) would be severely weakened.
- It risks creating state-approved media. When only “authorized” information is allowed, journalism becomes propaganda.

- It restricts investigative journalism. Reporters could lose credentials for pursuing stories that don’t fit the official narrative.
- It limits public accountability. Without reporters asking hard questions, misconduct and waste could go unchecked.
