Every word he says here is a lie. Every. Single. Word. He’s living in an alternate reality. #25thAmendment.

Speaker Johnson and Republicans continue to ignore the concerns of military families — like the brave service-member’s wife who told the Speaker this morning that their refusal to act will have devastating impacts on her family.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

House Oversight's Robert Garcia is calling on Chairman Comer to "immediately schedule a date for Ghislaine Maxwell to testify" before the Committee. 

The panel had postponed its deposition with Maxwell until the Supreme Court decided whether to take up her appeal (it did not). tinyurl.com/bpasrhvz

"@jollygoodginger.bsky.social: Even law enforcement can’t just take a child w/o their parents or guardian or attorney present. This is just unregulated madness. This is kidnapping. This is in violation of everything we stand for. It take a village to protect a child and I won’t be silent"

Republicans can no longer hide behind religion. The pedophiles, rapists, bigots, and hypocrisy is all out in the open.

We cannot unsee it for what it is.

Vote them ALL out of office.

And recount the 2024 election.

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

Lying sack of shit.

this is an absolutely insane news conference for the Attorney General of the United States to be participating in.

(note how Benny Johnson describes the Annunciation shooting as an act of political violence, which is a lie)

Agree. I couldn’t watch it in its entirety. It was full cringe and lies. The only danger to us as a society is MAGA extremism aka Christian Nationalists.

Mamdani: I run against a disgraced former governor who, in this moment, has chosen to issue a statement in which he cannot even say the name Tish James, nor the name Donald Trump.

If you cannot say Trump’s name today—how will you stand up to him tomorrow?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "
