Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

“This has NOTHING to do with the SHUTDOWN. The law REQUIRES and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption.

So that is a DECISION the president is making on his own to ALLOW people to go HUNGRY." - Senator Peter Welch on SNAP Cuts

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

A president who routinely gives orders attempting to rewrite history, is a president who's planning to commit atrocities.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Pastor David Black was shot in the head with pepper balls while praying for ICE detainees in Chicago. Watch him speak out.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

We now know Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson followed Laura Loomer on X. Is this the tweet that pushed him over the edge?

Wouldn’t it be great if we had a functioning Republican Party that had a few people in it who were willing to occasionally stand up and call out the worst abuses of power and corruption of their leader?

Instead, the Republican Party operates like an organized crime family.

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."

The truth of the matter is, we are not in a war of left vs right, we are in a war of haves and have nots. The rich are getting ridiculously richer which everyone else is stagnating or regressing. And the rich are convincing people their enemy is their neighbor, not the wealthy. This is a class war.

I have been seeing the same thing. This is what is wrong with America. There is no empathy for others who are less fortunate. The “pro lifers” criticizing single parents for having more than 1 or 2 children or a mother who has “fancy eyebrows “. There is no limit to their hate and toxicity.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Dodged duty five times, mocks those who serve, then claims he’d love to have their job?

The irony could salute itself.
