Mike Johnson is violating the rights of the voters that elected her. He is canceling their votes. He is undermining civil rights. For the record, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, is undermining the civil rights of U.S. citizens. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/p...

The President shouldn’t need a court order just to follow the law or do the right thing.

Now, Trump’s half-baked approach to only provide partial SNAP funding hurts the whole country and underscores Trump’s gross mismanagement.

Nowhere in the original text does it say that citizens have a right to vote. Instead, much of the government’s authority to protect voting rights stems from amendments adopted following the civil war and legislation passed during the civil rights movement. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/wha...

At one point, Kavanaugh got so frustrated at Gorsuch (for posing a *mildly* difficult question to the contractor) that he tried to jump in and cut him off. Gorsuch wouldn't stand down, telling Kavanaugh: "You’re gonna have your shot, my friend." You can tell several other justices are also annoyed.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

CAIN: Why are polls showing 52% of Americans are blaming Republicans and Trump for the shutdown?

MIKE JOHNSON: The entire media establishment is parroting the talking points of the Democrats every day. It's the most staggering level of gaslighting we've ever seen in American politics.

Lauren Boebert the carpetbagger forgot what district she reps. She just said she reps CO-3, the district she fled.

I’m from CO-4, the district where she never shows. Baptized here. Went to public schools here. Laid my parents to rest here.

Help me fire Boebert so she has no district to forget.

Pet owners are refusing rabies vaccines because of ‘pawtism’ fears. Anti-vax conspiracies have gone so far off the rails they’re endangering dogs. Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms start. Misinformation is spreading faster than the viruses these days.

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

When the GOP dismisses SNAP recipients by telling them to 'just get jobs,' they ignore that 70% of those individuals are already
employed full-time.

It’s been 41 days since Adelita Grijalva won—and Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. 33 days of shutdown, endless excuses. Swear her in NOW. The victims deserve justice. The Epstein files aren’t going anywhere. The cover-up is cracking.

• Father convicted of causing son's death.

• DA's office later determines the science was bad and conviction should be thrown out.

• Medical examiner recants testimony.

• DA tells court conviction should be overturned.

Appeals court says it's not enough. Upholds conviction.

Appeals Court Upholds Shaken Baby Conviction Despite Medical Examiner Recanting Testimony

Dissenting from the court’s majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner’s reversal “calls into doubt the foundation of the trial.”

The best part about the school voucher scam? Private religious schools use vouchers to recruit athletes.

They are defunding public schools to make their football teams better…
