Q: "What's your reaction to Jesus telling you that you must *give* to the poor, not take away from the poor?"

MIKE JOHNSON: "I don't know any of the details of that yet. I'm just hearing that for the first time so can't really comment."

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

"The story of Trump’s authoritarian takeover is primarily a story of what Trump and his executive branch apparatchiks have done. But it wouldn’t be happening without an extraordinary degree of complicity, collaboration, and cowardice of congressional Republicans."

A while back I was approached by the govt of Saudi Arabia to write a restaurant guide to the country. Unlike various comedians, I did not want to take the money of a govt with one of the worst human rights records in the world. Michelin thought otherwise.

Only 29 asylum appeals have been made to the ECHR in the last 45 years you dimwit. For that non-existent benefit you would sacrifice the right to life, liberty, fair trial, freedom of expression, thought, religion, protection from torture, slavery, etc.
Fucking idiot.

Russia isn't just losing the war, it's also losing the cyber war too.

Putin has now lost an entire bot farm worth $1 million dollars, it has been hacked and taken over by the Cyber Legion army. It's the first of many more to come. A long winter is coming. #opRussia ⛈️

Dr Oz: “I think we all agree that Covid has passed”.

No we do not agree!

Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health.

It’s still here. It’s still killing and disabling.

Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!

🇳🇱 Tonight, the Dutch and their center-left party, Democrats 66, have voted against racism and hate, and knocked the far-right, ill-named Party for Freedom out of power.

🇳🇱 This was a blow to fascism, a nod to democracy, and some much-needed light in the darkness ...

🇳🇱 Congrats!

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
