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.

And I know that she was a very damaged child who processed that damage by being terrible to everyone else. That’s a cautionary tale. It’s not a hero journey.

This guts me. He was part of a sexual awakening for GenX women, especially Black ones, to see this unambiguously sexual Black man appear unfiltered writ so large. I am so sad. Cancer is evil.

Those women who swore Beth Dutton was their muse. A feral nasty demon. That tells me all I need to know about them.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

It does feel like everything, everywhere, all at once.

Tweet from Brian Allen: “🚨 RFK Jr just said circumcision causes autism, but not because of the procedure. He claims Tylenol is to blame... and says ‘two studies’ prove it. We’re officially in conspiracy multiverse madness.”
Below, a C-SPAN screenshot shows RFK Jr speaking at a table during a Trump administration cabinet meeting.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Hey Maryland parents! I know we were told we weren't supposed to expect applause - AND I DON'T - but sometimes I think it's healthy to celebrate small wins and say "Yeah, I did that like a boss." I'd like to talk about that for Baltimore Banner. DM me here or at [email protected] !!
