Speaker Mike Johnson says his entire worldview comes from the Bible.
But he’s about to kick 2 million Texans off their healthcare right before Christmas.

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Trump:
- Doesn’t want to talk about prices or employment.
- Is asking SCOTUS *right now* to let him stop funding SNAP so he can use hunger as a weapon.
- Is still lying about trillions of dollars in tariffs.
All while he builds a ballroom and remodels the White House.
