Agree. The Squeaker of the House is a shameless liar, and not very good at it despite all his practice.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Big shout out to the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in #Winona. Wonderful exhibits and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

The symbolism of Trump taking a wrecking ball to the White House as a metaphor for what he is doing to the entire country is unmistakable.

This may be good news. It will be easier to outrun ICE agents.

The Trump regime is tearing down the East Wing of the White House to make room for the ballroom Trump plans to build, despite having previously stated that the East Room would not be affected. Vandalism at the highest level.

Spread the word if you agree. Make an example out of one company, others will follow.

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Remind me again, who hates America?

I'm surprised they made it through a whole week without bombing Gaza.

Because he is?

It was a great day, but we need to double that to make a real difference. Seven million is only 2% of the American population.

Trouble is, some people actually are that stupid.

Johnson is slippery, but not slippery enough for us not to notice how...slippery he is.

No evidence.

No riots.

Ted Cruz is deeply damaged, dishonest trash.

Great Barrington, MA PD also did a great job. All they did was to politely ask demonstrators not to park next to fire hydrants.

Not to throw a wet blanket on things, but 7 million is only 2% of the American population. It's not nothing, but we have more work to do.

4. I'm an intelligent, independent woman who will never allow any man to tell me to mind my own business. Humanity is my business. Compassion is my business. Standing on the right side of history is my business.I have a son in Seattle and his wife is East Indian so I worry for her safety.

Thank you.

Great question. Maybe that is beyond the historian's brief. For me, literature and cinema provide a sidelong glimpse into the emotions of people in past times.
