Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Domestic violence isn’t “really serious” to
Mikey.
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
Man, Jayden Daniels absolutely rips it when he needs to. So decisive.
Nothing the Israelis and Hamas did today couln't have been done 18 months ago. Could have saved so many lives and misery. Netanyahu wanted to kill more Palestinians and destroy more of Gaza. Hamas wanted to extract more luxury hotel nights in Doha. Assholes all.

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."
He’s obsessed. And look at all the tacky gold shit.
Trump on the Nobel: "Nobody in history has solved eight wars in a period of nine months. And I've stopped eight wars. That's never happened before. But they'll have to do what they do. Whatever they do is fine."
And genitals have entered the chat.
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..."
He’s going to invade Sweden if they don’t give it to him.
Q: Do you think Trump deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow?

STUBB: I think that's probably a decision that comes from the Nobel committee
