Sec. Noem came to our city for a couple hours yesterday & now she thinks she understands what we need.

Instead of playing toy soldiers with our armed forces, this Administration should focus on restoring our health care, lowering our costs & reopening the government.

We're keeping track of all of Mike Johnson's crimes against America and the people who live here, right?

To no one's surprise, he's committing multiple right now. While causing undue suffering to millions of Americans. All to protect billionaire pedos.

There is a mountain of evidence to suggest the man has a long history of (shall we call it, improper sexual behavior, just to be coy?) bad behavior in this area.

No one can pretend that there is no evidence to support the Donald Trump sexual assault claims.

Somewhere Bannon is smirking because people forgot about him coining the phase "flood the zone." Miller is also smirking because he's just evil like that.

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 9h

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Every time you try to ignore the Epstein list, it posts a selfie.

Social media post:

side, you have nothing to hide from."

Then why are you hiding the Epstein list?
