it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

A Pentagon spokesperson claims that Donald Trump is "restoring the warrior ethos" to the military.

That cowardly draft dodger is doing what?

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.

People seem to feel betrayed by the fact that it doesn't require trapeze and high tech cutting tools to steal jewels.

Out on patrol. ICE very active on the far North Side including Edgewater and Lincoln Square. Multiple abductions. Vulnerable folks should get off the street if they can. Street vendors should be bought out, landscapers warned. If you’re in Chicago and you’re not ICE watch trained, pls get trained.

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Edward was so fascinated by the upward migration of the Widow Neely's nipples that he was oblivious to the fact that she'd found and was reading his diary of his adventures as a dancing boy in the Ottoman Empire.

Which is why this Orange Reich is trying to bait us into violence. Because THAT they can handle. THAT they have weapons and contingencies for.

They are impotent when confronted with a dancing unicorn, and pelted with peals of joyful laughter.

Stay frosty and gay, friends.

"I know," I said, just as quietly. "But you can't protect him from his own feelings. You can only sit with him while he has them."
She looked at her son, who was already on page two. She pulled up a chair and sat down.
The cameras had stopped filming. The angry questions were done. A pastor came up and quietly asked if we had C.S. Lewis. I showed him. A veteran asked if we had any good books on the 101st Airborne. I handed him three.
By 10 PM, the room was empty, except for Karen and Tyler, sitting under the reading lamp, quietly turning pages.
They say books are dangerous. They're wrong.
Ignorance is dangerous. Fear is dangerous. Certainty is the most dangerous of all.
A book is just paper and ink. It's a bridge, not a bomb. It's not afraid of your questions. It opens its pages and waits. The only stories that demand silence are the ones that are afraid of the light.
