Speaker Mike Johnson was an official in the Southern Baptist Convention, a member of its Ethics and Religious Liberty Comission, from 2004-2012, a period of such hideous coverup of sexual abuse and misconduct by church leaders that the SBC finally had to get an outside report.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

The middle and lower classes all over the world have to vote to remove people who want to elevate the rich at the peoples expense.Everywhere we have the same interests. Having the rich get tax breaks is an insult.The people are the customers that over paid to make them rich.No respect nor gratitude.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

No one will be surprised at the hypocrisy of the right-wing fanatic branch of the Supreme Court!

But an upcoming CO case outlawing "conversion therapy" brings it in stark contrast! Last they upheld a TN law forbidding gender affirming care!
It comes down to same issues!
