Mike Johnson is an extraordinary fibber

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · 2d

The House speaker claims this has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. Then why delay the swearing in of Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who handily won a special election in Arizona *two weeks* ago?

He can easily prove it. trib.al/yUJZ0OT

Mike Johnson Struggles to Explain Delay in Swearing In Democratic Rep

JeremyWieland.bsky.social @jeremywieland.bsky.social · 4d

So, Speaker Johnson is terrified of releasing the Epstein files because the Speaker is in them? I’m guessing ol’Mike has a closet full of secrets

Just keep asking people to vaccinate. It works

I boosted in July, Spouse boosted 2 weeks ago. Just attended an event where I got Covid & Spouse dis not. Recency on her side. If I could boost quarterly I would

Ian Livingston @ianlivingston.bsky.social · 5d

Love your immediate editor, dislike the rest of them is my motto … not entirely true but imo newsrooms could use fewer since they mostly just add layers to management at a certain point

violent alien @blipstress.bsky.social · 5d

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Minnesota has the 4th most road miles of any state, and fewer than 6 million people to pay for those roads. An incredible achievement

Governor Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov · 7d

From Duluth to New Ulm, my administration is showing up before the ribbon cutting to keep our roads ranked among the best in the nation.

The newly designed Twin Ports Interchange is just one piece of a much bigger effort to make sure every Minnesotan is safe when they travel.

“We’d been hearing how good this front was all week,” Darrisaw said, “and got tired of it.”

Darrisaw said he "listened to his body" and exited the game before the fourth quarter. O'Connell commended him for playing all 76 snaps in Dublin, a workload that left him needing extra time off this week

Vikings QB Carson Wentz is questionable to return with a shoulder issue. He went into the locker room with a minute of game clock left before half.

That means the 2nd half could be Max Brosmer's. The Vikings waived Desmond Ridder yesterday; they have no third emergency QB.

Carson Wentz (left shoulder) questionable to return after taking a hit from Browns LB Carson Schwesinger, a rookie second-round pick, on the previous drive.

QB Max Brosmer taking snaps from Blake Brandel and talking with QBs coach Josh McCown on the sideline.

@andrewkrammer.bsky.social why are Vikings running behind Skule instead of Darrisaw in important situations? Does KOC not know who is on the field?

Why don't we have more good journalism?

Mostly, because people are unwilling to pay for it.

We have, collectively, gotten the idea that information should be free for the reading.

You can't complain about lousy reporting & analysis and also gripe about paywalls.
