He can't get any legitimate media outlet so he's relying on right-wing podcasters to make him feel like he's a star. FDT💯

The way his eyes close means he's blocking out what you said. Him: closing my mind. These people are shameless with the propaganda. It reminds me of McCarthyism.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

"DOGE’s indiscriminate, slash-and-burn approach is a preposterous and cruel way to treat the nation’s best and brightest, its future leaders."

I got a bonus and a raise. Then DOGE fired me for ‘performance.’

Trump and Musk are lying to get rid of people like me.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

I agree. This is a serious time. I'm literally shocked that so many are uninformed. I lived through Nixon's abuse of the DOJ, FBI, total corruption. What's happening doesn't come close to Nixon's crimes. Nixon even had a hit list, thankfully he didn't get that far. Bondi is an arm of Trump.

Why are the courts having to slog through so much federal litigation over Trump’s executive order? Because the far-right majority on the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to shut it down.

Courts Keep Smacking Down Trump’s Lawless Attempt to End Birthright Citizenship

But he keeps plugging away—believing his allies on the Supreme Court will ultimately side with him.

The Trump-Vance admin is using the civil service to push a political agenda – now going as far as to manipulate emails, in blatant violation of the First Amendment.

We are urging the court to act immediately to stop this flagrant unlawfulness.

Union sues Education Department over manipulation of workers' email messages

NBC News previously reported that department employees found their nonpartisan out-of-office messages were automatically changed to ones criticizing Democrats for the shutdown.
