i am not sure mike johnson’s plan of abandoning the capitol to a bunch of snarky house dems (of which there are many) with nothing to do was a smart strategic move

Rep. Ted Lieu @reptedlieu.bsky.social · 12h

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Sky Roberts "said Johnson’s refusal to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva—whose signature could supply the decisive 218th backer for a discharge petition compelling a floor vote—was inflicting real harm on those 'victims and survivors' still seeking answers about the late sex offender’s network."

Also, UNC is on a bye, which is why this all has time to percolate.

maybe Cooper himself stays above the fray, but some PAC could absolutely get mileage out of “Republicans gave you UNC’s Belichick era using the same destructive approach they take in Washington”

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media

The DOJ's own data 1990–2024 found that far-right extremists were responsible for 520+ deaths / 227 incidents, compared to 78 deaths / 42 incidents from the far left.

Six times more.

Pam Bondi keeps spreading the lie that the left is the real threat.

They want fear to drive your vote, not facts.
