Speaker Mike Johnsons answer to the gov layoffs is let's not show up and do our jobs for another week while he gets paid to sit of his thumbs. Others suffer for these fools not doing their jobs.

Wake up 🇺🇸!

Alex Jones asks Supreme Court to block massive defamation judgment

Our Tattered Stars and Stripes @tatteredoldglory.bsky.social · 1d

www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Jones says the court must act immediately to prevent his site, InfoWars, where he has spread conspiracy theories, from being handed over to the satirical news site The Onion.

Ya know what needs to be changed/updated is the rule that is allowing Congress to be paid during a shutdown? Troops, and critical positions like ATC paid first.
