Speaker Johnson should SPEAK UP for the millions of Americans who will go without health care because of his and Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Law.
It’s not too late to work with Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits.

No "two different realities" bullshit. One side is calling for release of the video, and the other is not.
NEWS --> Tons of fresh detail on what video of the strike shows: Rep Adam Smith says two men are sitting on capsized boat, drugs aren't visible. Rationale officials gave for killing is they *may* have been able to keep trafficking.
"It's bad," Smith says.

Speaker Mike Johnson, being a traditional “Christian,” is disparaging of women. He even recently complained that they “can’t compartmentalize” their thoughts. So it’s fitting that four women reps in the GOP are setting fire to his leadership in very interesting and damaging ways. My write-up below.
