Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

I’m incredibly disappointed in my senator @alsobrooks.senate.gov for voting for the Make Crypto Great Again Act. It would be deeply corrupt to give crypto (a worthless scam) any regulatory backing in normal times.

But, to do so when Trump is using it to openly accept bribes is unforgivable.

Wow. Just wow. An all-star from the NYT for sure. Up there with Judith “Yellowcake” Miller. Good luck to @nytpitchbot.bsky.social topping that!
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
