Republicans just elected the most extreme, far-right speaker in modern history. With multiple global crises raging and only a few weeks left to avoid a government shutdown, House Republicans cycled through a roster of incompetent, unqualified candidates and landed on Mike Johnson.

Ziggy Marley, the son of legendary reggae artist Bob Marley, posted this picture on his Instagram account. It's worth mentioning that Ziggy is married to Orly Agai, an Israeli woman.

Even though a turd can’t be polished, it *can* be elected Speaker of the House, apparently.

So, where are my fellow #Whovians? We've finally got air dates for the 60th - I am officially very, very excited. Saturday nights just got even better; the only question is will #DoctorWho be on before or after #Strictly? Hopefully before, so we can do away with that awful Alan Carr quiz 🤞

So it turns out all it took to reunite the Republican party was to marry Trumpy “crimes and coups” fascism to old-fashion Dubya-y Evangelical fundamentalist fascism.

I am not happy that this worked. Not happy at all.

…so another $5,000 fine then?

What’s that in Trump Bucks?

While it's certainly accurate to call Speaker Mike Johnson an election denier, it’s also incomplete — because while he cast an indefensible vote on Jan. 6, that was hardly the only thing he did to undermine the 2020 results. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/spotlight-shines-johnsons-role-trying-overturn-2020-election-rcna122205

Watch as an estimated 100,000 Icelandic women go on a nationwide 24-hour strike in the biggest walkout since 1975. Women refused to cook, clean, or do unpaid care work, women took to the streets demanding greater gender equality and protesting against the gender pay gap, gender-based violence, and sexual violence.

@theropologist Aptly summed up in this cartoon. #history

@ned FFS!!!! Religion is a scam!

❝ Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson described his 2020 visit to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount as ‘the fulfillment of a biblical prophecy’; his election is the most significant victory to date for evangelicals in D.C. ❞

“New House Speaker Mike Johnson, an evangelical Christian, holds ties to Israel’s far right”

Interesting note for Fediverse/Mastodon users: you do not get a "view" count here, which makes some new folks (ie journalists/others) feel like they aren't being seen, even though their message is being read by lots of people. They only see the boosts and stars... So hit the "star" button often, especially on new people finally migrating here! #Feditips

Best way to protect a Dem presidential win in ‘24 would be to retake the House and have Jeffries preside over the certification.
