While they’re at it, maybe someone could ask Jeffie who comprises the “Editorial Board.”

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

This is wrong on every level. It’s a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesn’t mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

Q: Are you going to work with your administration to designate antifa a foreign terror organization?

TRUMP: You mean anti-terror?

Q: Antifa

TRUMP: Antifa?

Q: A foreign terror organization

TRUMP: Would you like to see it done? I'd be glad to do it. Does everybody agree? It sounds good to me

Johnson will be the first sitting Speaker to take calls live on C-SPAN since 2001, apparently.

Anyone else think @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social should call in and ask Johnson to swear her in over the phone?

Who does Hagerty think was president after the 2016 election?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

Sen. Hagerty: "This goes all the way back to Obama. I moved into Trump Tower the day after the election in 2016. The FBI came up and surveilled us then ... the real threat to democracy are Chuck Schumer and the Democrats."

The age of the robber baron & owners of company towns is back & better than ever. How long do these “never satisfied with enough wealth” power-mad, rich f**ks honestly believe they can get away with it?

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 17h

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

South Carolina's criminal code sentences a rapist to 30 years for rape, but if SC's new S 323 becomes law, it'd sentence a woman to death for getting an abortion

Meaning—if a man impregnates a woman via rape he may get 30 years, but if that impregnated victim gets an abortion she would be executed😐

Government-granted patent monopolies are the reason drugs are expensive. This needs to be explained to the explainers on Today Explained cepr.net/publications...

Drugs are Cheap, Patent Monopolies Make Them Expensive: Explaining to Today Explained

TrumpRX won’t fix high drug prices because patents—not foreign pricing—drive costs. Ending monopolies could save Americans trillions.
