If you were to stumble into a pub somewhere in Wales late on a rainy evening, Robert Plant's 'Saving Grace' is precisely what you'd want to hear.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ?

MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Mike Johnson: "The irony was that they called it the No Kings Rally, but if President Trump was a king, the government would be open. If President Trump was a king, he would've closed the nationals parks and the National Mall so they couldn't of had the rally out here."

Curtis Harding's new LP may take a few listens to absorb fully. Once it does, it will yield rewards for fans of retro soul, current soul, and adventurous pop.

We are two days into a government shutdown — House Republicans are nowhere in sight.

Why are they hiding?

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Trump says he wants to eliminate autism by the end of his term

RFK Jr: I've never seen a case of full-blown autism in a 70-year-old man. You're only seeing it in the kids. It's an epidemic.

Everything about the Royston Club's new LP is big, and some of it is even huge.

Big crunchy guitars, catchy choruses, emotional lyrics, and powerful singing. #PMPick
