It’s kind of concerning that I as a random guy who browses Bluesky am more informed about what’s happening politically than the Speaker of the House.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

This is feeling like an early Sumlin era game that’s gonna end 55-48.

I love the WMW colorway, have missed it (don’t think we wore it under Jimbo?).

And that was a hell of an answer when we got the ball back.

Well damn that was a nice two play 75 yard opening TD drive.

Realize it’s not the point of this but that Texas map is so misleading, the little blue areas (which are of course also carefully gerrymandered) have like 3x the population of all the red areas.

As the parent of a special needs kiddo that we’re lucky enough to be able to afford specialized care for, my heart breaks for families that aren’t in that position.

This administration is just burning it all down with the seeming intent of hurting people.

The variance between how old people look once they get past 40 is absolutely wild.

You’ve got 40 looking 55 year olds and 55 looking 40 year olds.

I will never be able to erase “Rally chancleta?” from my brain.

I’m looking like a genius for starting Dart on my fantasy team in a last minute switch.

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not.

He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone.

Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…

We literally have one.

Boy is this gonna be an awkward conversation.

I knew there was something I was missing.

“Confirmation studies”

There’s gotta be someone in the GOP who has the simplest understanding of science that realizes how dumb this is, right?

(I’m afraid that question may be rhetorical.)

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

It’s amazing that there is somehow no video of these daily attacks on the ICE building in Portland…

Kristi Noem compared antifa to MS-13, Hamas, Hezbollah & the Islamic State, calling the loosely affiliated network of antifascist street activists “just as dangerous” as designated terrorist organizations.

WTF? This is making me lose my cool...

Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"
