58 years ago today, The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper.

5 months later, The Carol Burnett Show did a tribute with Carol, Gwen Verdon, Bobbie Gentry and Phyllis Diller.

If you're a reporter in DC lobbing questions about who's gonna perform at the Super Bowl to the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, you're just a shit stirrer and a hack.

Plenty of things in Mike Johnson's wheelhouse you should be asking him about. Bad Bunny ain't one of them.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

For more than 6 weeks, a Bronx family lived without running water, gas, or electricity—showering in a park and using a Burger King bathroom—after their utilities mysteriously shut off in August.

Now, after NYC's HPD said it was unable to help restore the services, it has ordered them to leave.

These Bronx Tenants Lived Six Weeks Without Water and Power. The City’s Fix? A Vacate Order

The plight of the Ramos family reveals the weaknesses in the City's system to protect tenants from unlivable conditions—and from being put out on the street.

Mike Johnson says he'll swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social as soon as she wants. Okay, so how about today?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

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

Can someone please ask @AGPamBondi if ICE is now staffed by extremists organizations like Proud Boys, 3%ers, and the former Identity Evropa & League of the South. What about those who participated in the January 6th insurrection?

Many people are saying this is true.
