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.

No pay during the shutdown: While the shutdown is in effect, Secret Service agents do not receive their regular paychecks. This is a hardship for many families and can lead to financial strain....sooooo, my suggestion is the secret service walks off the job! Poor Trump...no protection 🤔

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

Speaker Mike Johnson said that the Dems are holding a Hate America rally.

Silly Mike!The Dems aren't the masked goons propelling down from helicopters to terrorize people in the middle of the night!

In a democracy, presidents don’t wield the military against citizens or weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents.

Since Congress won’t act, voters must.

We must decide what kind of country we want

A president who uses the military and the Justice Department to exact revenge against his perceived enemies is as un-Ame

Instead of working with Democrats to lower health care costs, Donald Trump and Project 2025 author Russ Vought are trying to fire thousands of federal workers.

Remember, the Trump administration had to REHIRE people they fired previously.

It’s cruel and beyond incompetence.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Hey Donnie...
Heads up...Letitia James didn't convict you, a JURY did. THEY found enough EVIDENCE to find you GUILTY. Why a vengeance vendetta against the "messenger" 🤔

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."
