If speaker, Mike Johnson told the truth, even one time, it would be one more than he has bank accounts in his own name.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Please can I have a Nobel peace prize, I helped a friend of mine murder a bunch of his neighbours and now I’ve told him to stop, so I’ve definitely done a peace. Give me the prize immediately please, not that anything could possibly go wrong, but just give it to me now, or else.

QUESTION: Why do we need Mike Johnson to "swear in" Rep Grijalva? Who gives a f**k about their traditions? She's elected. Call a locksmith, unlock the office, get to work, release the Epstein files. 💯 The p*dophiles don't follow rules. Why should we?

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

“On Friday, Pete Hegseth announced that a Qatari air force facility would soon be built in Idaho”

If Osama Bin Laden had known how easy it is to conquer America!!!! Just give a corrupt President a $400 million jet and he’ll roll out the red carpet (for Qatar AND for Russia).

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

Yes, as I think it through, this is why he's really denying efforts to play the troops. Protecting politically connected pedophiles is more important t him than funding our troops. 😡

Thank you, Judge Perry.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

The destruction of American democracy is well under way.

It would be much further along if team TACO wasn’t so fundamentally incompetent.

So I guess there’s that.
