Of all the pieces Mike Johnson hasn't seen, the Politico Young Republican Nazis piece he will have not seen the hardest.

Undocumented immigrants contribute over $100 billion annually in taxes but can’t access federal benefits. Even American citizens, despite the ACA, can’t enjoy free healthcare. Yet Republicans use immigrants as an excuse to block the ACA extension and keep the government shut down. Are we great yet?🔄

Mike Johnson is a perfect example of why I no longer believe in God. Self righteous people like him hide behind the shield of religion and do everything totally opposite to what God and religion stand for.

If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

Absolute fucking abomination.

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before deadline for signing

The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

everything i’ve read about how this latest ceasefire came about suggests that if you want to credit anyone it should be the qataris for bribing the president enough that he determined he wanted to keep them happy and then using that carrot to demand a change after bibi (insanely) bombed them

When will the shutdown end?

If Mike Johnson & his fellow Repubs get their way: Never.

Repubs *hate* the federal government & want to use the treasury (ahem, *our* money we have paid in via income taxes) as their own personal piggie bank.

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America.

Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.
