REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

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.

In Australia, "Wind and solar energy smashed their market share records on Saturday, even after heavy curtailment that dragged back their potential output from meeting more than 113% of grid demand to just below 80%." Hello Winsome Earle-Sears? bluevirginia.us/2025/10/sund...

From RenewEconomy: "The Australian Energy Market Operator has said that it is preparing for the day when it is able to manage the grid with up to 100 per cent instantaneous penetration of renewables."

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

When Farage and I were growing up (similar age) Russia was the enemy, we were both in cadets, Russia was the Army’s foe

Villains in Movies & books were Russian.. those who helped Russia were traitors

Since 2010 Farage has been on Russian TV at least 17 times talking the West down

Nigel Farage's relationship with Russian media comes under scrutiny

The Ukip leader's Euroscepticism makes him a shoo-in at the Russian state broadcaster that is often called Putin's mouthpiece

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Medvedev lashes out at Trump, warning that any delivery of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine "could end badly for everyone, especially Trump himself." He claims Russia cannot distinguish between conventional and nuclear Tomahawks mid-flight and threatens the U.S. directly if such weapons are launched.

If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer

His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate
