Here’s what he’s told us he’s NOT doing.

-negotiating with Dems
-developing a strategy to end the govt closure
- learning the details of the health “plan” he insists Republicans have
-drafting/pushing legislation

RAJU: You said yesterday you were still trying to get the details of this $230m Trump wants from the DOJ. Now that you've had some time, are you ok with taxpayers potentially being on the hook for that kind of money?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not trying to dodge. I haven't had time to get the details

Oh yeah, I’m sure if Pres. Obama or Pres. Biden had torn down the entire East Wing of the White House for any reason, Republicans and conservatives would be very chill about it.
Sure, bud. Whatever helps you work through your cognitive dissonance.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

The firearms ownership ban for trans people is patently unconstitutional, and I'm willing to risk sounding naive in saying the courts will immediately reject it, including SCOTUS. But meanwhile, this signals where the Trump admin is moving on trans people. And it's terrifying.

Pretty rich for Paxton to spend years writing + defending policies meant to define trans inclusive families as "sinful" while his own family falls apart for "biblical reasons", then ask for "privacy" when he's repeatedly sought access to trans kids' medical files.

I say all this to say, stop it. Biden was old, tired, not as sharp in language, recall or gait as two years before.
But he was doing the job and doing it well. Sadly he was not able to effectively do the Comms part of the job which requires vigor & charisma.
Now do a wellness check on Trump.

Fight back. Wannabe dictators often cave in if it's too much trouble. And even if they don't? If you're gonna lose, lose fighting back rather than giving them what they want.
Trump screwed nearly 1,900 international students at more than 280 schools, as part of its crackdown on immigration and pro-Palestinian speech.
“The terminations have summoned more than 100 lawsuits, with judges in more than 50 cases across 23 states issuing orders to undo the government’s actions.”

I explained it to several young teens today: imagine we wanted you to become more self-sufficient in the kitchen, so we decided to charge you $20 every time you got takeout. But also we have no food in the house, we won't let you go to the store, and also you don't know how to cook.
you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead
