it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The way to handle the current attack on the First Amendment is a total coverage blackout of the clown and his minions. We don't need to hear the lies on the news and I for one don't need to hear the voice of any of them spouting the regime's bullshit. MSM needs to shut em down or they'll be next.

Right now, it feels like the Keystone Kops and the Three Stooges are running the government while the Republicans are cheering and laughing at the show and the Democrats are bound and gagged in the back room. I can’t wait for this movie to be over.

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

America has not always lived up to its ideals as a nation, particularly with foreign policy. We must be honest about that.
This moment from both Trump and Vance was reprehensible and yet another move to support global autocracy.
We must continue to push for a higher standard from our leaders.
