This..Make it a condition for him getting airtime
Every single reporter there needs to hold the line on this too.
Don't throw him a lifeline with another question if he dodges. Have each other's backs and demand he answer the question.

Just to get ahead of this: Print the post out and bring it to the next Mike Johnson presser. You already know what his move will be. There’s no excuse to not be prepared for it.

FAFO. But I'm happy she is alive. Wish she could have learned without personal suffering. She and I now agree on 1 thing--Great. I'm guessing she thinks many things I find abhorrent are just fine. Maybe she changes the minds of some conservative Christian women on abortion. I probably can't.
IOWA — “I’m a very pissed off conservative Christian woman. I almost died because I was denied medical care after being diagnosed with a fatal fetus… Cornered by the system… pro life? Choose me. Choose the mother.”
It had to happen to her to get this? #ForcedBirthNation

But there’s a larger story here, about how weak men feel strong by punching down. But it only proves their weakness.

Hegseth's "warrior ethos" is cowardice
He calls himself the "Secretary of War" and plays a tough guy on TV, but in real life he's a major weenie

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

Real top story from 60 Minutes interview of Trump is that he is a puppet:
Norah O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is... Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it.
Trump is a PINO- A President in name only!

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

This is really amazing! Every single Democrat should take note and respond to these questions similarly. The frame almost always implicitly forgives Republicans as if "of course they will act badly, can't we count on you to cover for them?"

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.
