Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

This line didn’t make sense the first time he said it, and it doesn’t make sense now.

The fact that they continue to demonize millions of patriotic Americans engaging in peaceful protest tells you everything you need to know about them.

Mike Johnson accuses Democrats of "berating" a Capitol police officer. Wait until he hears what Republicans did to Capitol police officers on Jan. 6, 2021. It was much more than berating.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6h

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Fox News paid $787.5 million in a defamation settlement to Dominion Voting Systems for knowingly promoting false stories about the 2020 election. Someone might tell Jesse Watters that Fox News is still facing a $2 billion lawsuit from Smartmatic for the same reason.

MAGA: We are owning the libs by siding with Hegseth to let the military industrial complex keep us in the dark about everything doing on inside the Pentagon and DOD.

They actually want to simply accept govt propaganda on the military. The definition of blissful ignorance.

You might see videos about Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside that dehumanize residents calling them "zombies," shaming the poor, and painting Canada in need of more Conservative ideology as a false solution. But here’s the side right-wing media won’t show. #cdnpoli

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

The folks at Fox News continue to promote the false narrative that Trump ordered 10,000 National Guard troops BEFORE the January 6th riots. His then Acting Sec. of Defense testified under oath that Trump made no such request. I included his testimony. RECEIPTS!
