My opponent Ann Wagner is busily posting away on her social media about the "far left radical agenda"...of wanting affordable healthcare. At least 21,500 citizens of MO-2 are going to lose their healthcare and probably more from lack of affordable options. She doesn't care. #TeamWellman

QUICK: Can't you seat Grijalva? AZ says this is taxation without representation

JOHNSON: Yeah, I'm shocked there's another D seeking publicity right now

Q: You haven't seated their delegation

J: It's all a farce. If Gallego and Kelly would vote to reopen the govt, we'll get this done quickly

‼️ Russia: “Dmitriev: Russia's refusal to rely on energy resources is leading the EU to stagnation and deindustrialization”

Accusation in a mirror is a Russian favorite.

Note: This guy specifically generates a lot of nonsense news stories related to Russia’s economy

Trump kills funding previously appropriated by Congress for one of the most important infrastructure projects in the country because it involves NY and NJ, while Republicans ask for Dem votes on future government funding while refusing to talk to Dems about it.

This is why it’s impossible to negotiate with Republican leadership in Congress. Once you reach an agreement with them and things pass, the Trump admin just flushes that agreement down the toilet and Republicans who made the deal remain silent. bsky.app/profile/atru...

THUNE: Fund the government the old fashioned way -- I don't think you need rescissions

VITALI: Have you said to the WH, maybe don't do another rescissions package? Feels like it's poisoned the well

THUNE: It's in everybody's best interest, including the WH, to do a normal appropriations process

Translation: If Dems vote for the CR, Thune will allow a vote on extending ACA subsidies then Mike Johnson will kill that in the House.

If Dems will vote for the CR then Mike Johnson “will look at” maybe having a vote on ACA subsidies in the future. What a deal!

BLITZER: But Trump posted instructing Bondi to take action on Comey, James, and Schiff. Comey and James have been indicted. So what do you say to Americans who look at this and worry that the DOJ is being politicized?

REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: We had the same issues when Biden was president

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

If State Farm is truly interested in being a good neighbor, it should be transparent and let the numbers speak for themselves.

Other insurance companies work with us on this, but State Farm has refused.

Without the data, homeowners have no assurance.
