Mike Johnson: "It's about keeping Congress operating so we can get to healthcare. We always were going to. They're lying to you. Okay? The healthcare issues were always gonna be something discussed, deliberated, contemplated, and debated in October and November."

If nothing else, I think doomers and people who constantly post about how Trump is a godking should take a deep breath and watch the GOP flail, panic, and ultimately at some point in the future capitulate and wonder if they're being honest with themselves

Hell, it might improve your quality of life

It's also a note that this is almost certainly being laundered into the news by the GOP itself.

Fascinating moment in the power of DC Think. Democrats are clearly *not* looking for an off ramp right now. They’re actually saying this. Which is a measure of how badly it’s going for the GOP. It’s the GOP that is actually looking for the offeamp.

I do not ever want to know "who" the Portland Frog was. Let them multiply, let them become an icon, let them become more emblematic than Scabby the Rat, yes, but the person inside must forever remain an enigma to me.

Let ANYONE be a Frog. That's the point.

Bernard Sanders apparently doesn’t like his endorsed candidate being challenged in a primary. It may come as a complete surprise to him, but in a democracy, there can be more than one candidate in a primary. Sounds like he’s worried about Janet Mills.

Trumpers flooding the zone with demands he win a peace prize for a Gaza deal that isn't final yet. They know the selection process will be held tomorrow.

And he totally deserves it too if you ignore him murdering people in the international waters and kidnapping civilians on American streets.

If you idiots are in Schumer or Jeffries’ replies bitching like whiny little brats any time they put out a statement about anything instead of dealing with your racist family & friends who helped get us here I promise you can unfollow me. I don’t respect you. Learn basic civics. I’m not your friend.

The EASIEST ballot you’ll ever fill out, Californians! Just 1 question. ✅

I was on a walk to drop it in the ballot dropbox when a postman in his USPS truck pulled over and asked if I wanted him to take it from me. He had driven by me 3 times already on his route. He double checked I signed it! 😁

It's an admission that they don't think Mills is beatable in a primary, so of course they just want the coronation instead.

If Platner wins a primary against Mills, then he's the candidate. Why are they afraid of that? 😗

Janet Mills is 77, turning 78 at the end of this year. If she won in 2026, her first term in the Senate would end when she's 85 years old.

"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has lobbied Mills to run for months..."
