1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality.

2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

Mike Johnson on Jeffries: "I think he has to lighten up. When you show that you're upset -- I get attacked with memes every single hour of every day. I don't react to it. That's what people are trying to get out of you is a reaction. The president was making a joke, okay?"

"We are enjoying our tax cuts. Everyone else needs to find them bootstraps and figure it out."

REPORTER: Do you commit to doing something to address the ACA subsidies so that insurance premiums don't spike for Americans?

MIKE JOHNSON: Republicans commit to continuing the work we've already been doing

(That's a no)

OH...I thought I was just keeping myself busy enough not to pay attention. It's refreshing not to see his ugly face.

People in the US won't believe this, but a society requiring people to own a motor vehicle to get anywhere actually gives you LESS freedom than a society where you can safely walk, bike, or feasibly opt to take mass transit.
If you're a slave to your car, you're also a slave to your job.

If you live in:

South Dakota
Louisiana
West Virginia
Wyoming
Tennessee
Mississippi
Alaska

Call your right wing Senator and ask them why they're pushing to increase their constituents healthcare prices so much.

Tammy Duckworth @duckworth.senate.gov · 8d

If you live in these states, your ACA premiums are about to jump:

SD - Up 235% LA - Up 150% WV - Up 387% WY - Up 382% TN - Up 320% MS - Up 314% AK - Up 346%

Republicans are fighting to make sure this happens to their own constituents.
