Johnson would respond to this question with a snarky answer, of course

But that shouldn’t stop them from asking

Because exposing his contempt for the press-and by extension the American people-is precisely the point

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?"

Unless laws have changed since the Reagan era, those gifts belong to the American people, not Trump.

Trump’s ‘big beautiful’ bill will cut $186 billion from SNAP through 2035.

The list of Countries That Made Payments to Donald Trump during his Presidency

Gold crown, golf clubs, and jet are among Trump’s gifts from foreign leaders

"You need to be willing to die" isn't far from "THEY are going to kill you." And from there, it's only a tiny hop to "We need to kill THEM first."

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

And the guy came to his big event and paid a bundle. Trump knows
Money. If in the moment he is
Clueless that should Worry us tremendously. More than the fact he is a habitual liar, which is worrisome enough.

WHAT KIND OF SHITHOLE FUCKWIT THROWS A "GREAT GATSBY" PARTY AFTER DENYING SNAP BENEFITS TO NEEDY FAMILIES? SPOILER ALERT: THE DONNY CONVICT KIND. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POWERFUL POST IN WHICH I COIN THE PHRASE "THE GREAT FATSBY" — YOU'RE WELCOME, AMERICA! LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4qWwqwf
it’s nighttime in America. our government has been shuttered for a month. millions of Americans have just lost their jobs, and millions more just lost their assistance benefits. prices of goods and services keep rising with no end in sight, and the cost of healthcare is about to skyrocket. We the People are hurting — badly. meanwhile, down in his vulgar Florida golf motel, a 34-criminal-count narcoleptic fart factory is hosting a party for his rich fuckwad friends who get off on destroying everything around them. the theme of the party? some book about rich fuckwads who get off on destroying everything around them.

Depends on the food bank. I give food to one that does not take money but send $$ to one I used to volunteer with. They take food and $$ donations. The need is certainly greater than ever. Maybe Srs can consider donations with their RMDs coming up.

Reports of ICE ads on #Spotify were noted in early October. People began calling for boycotts immediately.

Now, nearly a month later Spotify is seeing major losses.

And we can do ever BETTER. 👏👏👏

Noem, a semi-truck driving "expert" based on operating a semi on her family ranch as a child, thinks immigrants lack the necessary skills and communication abilities for the profession.

Trump's America is racist and stupid.

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

You are not a patriot if you have contempt for people who use SNAP benefits to eat while simultaneously not caring about a $300 million dollar ballroom, you are exactly what they molded you to be, a pawn in their game to divide us and enrich themselves. Congratulation, you lose.
