Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 59m

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Stephen Miller and the Trump regime are deliberately provoking violence in American cities so they can blame it on a vast terrorist conspiracy of “Antifa” and “radical left Democrats.”

The plan is clear—but is it a “false flag” if they tell you?

Is It a “False Flag” If They Tell You?

Historically, people who want to overthrow a government usually try to hide it.

Republicans will say he’s just joking. Media will say it’s just Trump. But if it was any other President, we’d taking him seriously, and we should here too.

Truth-tellers don’t get silenced because they lie. They get silenced because they remind others, they’re not crazy.
This whole system was lost long before the military stormed our streets. But we will still resist. Unbought. Unbowed. Loud. And that matters, especially at the end. #Resist

I've been banging this drum for the past four months or so: DOGE and Russ Vought broke the appropriations process. What's the point of going through the arduous process of crafting 12 spending bills, clearing them through committee and getting them through two chambers if Trump does rescissions?

Garrett M. Graff @vermontgmg.bsky.social · 22h

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.
