Lee Greenwood is 82 years old, had one number one hit single on the country chart in 1984. And that's the one name Mike Johnson could think of? I knew Johnson was out of touch with America, but now I know he's out of touch with this entire century.

JPM DESK: “.. the US budget deficit has not shrunk despite the tariff revenue.

“.. if tariffs are not being used to pay down debt or in some cases as a bailout (e.g., soybean farmers ..) at what point does the bond market react negatively?”

MAGA supports child marriage. MAGA wants a marital rape exception. MAGA wants the vote taken away from women. MAGA wants a woman's body to be declared a state regulated incubator from the instant of conception. MAGA cares about white male power, not about girls being raped.

There needs to be a lawsuit claiming the use of "news" on screen is a lie/fraud. I hate the elderly getting swindled by scammers

Every time there's a cease fire between Israel and its enemies the talking heads call it "positive", "historic", "hopeful", say "it's different this time." If someone leveled your home and business, killed your family members, could you just get over it? For me it would never be over.

No one should be surprised that the party that supports child marriage, denying women the vote, declaring women state regulated incubators, is also the party that protects rapists and and pedophiles.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Trump: Everything we're doing is very lawful and what they're doing is not lawful.

And what the governor and mayor, as an example, you can say of Portland and certainly of Chicago, it's not lawful what they're doing. They have to be very careful.
