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

Mike Johnson explains to Tucker how he circulated a legal memo to his colleagues asserting that Nancy Pelosi committed a felony by tearing up a speech.

Gee I’m so happy that the person who is second in line for the presidency is an election denier who thinks God made him speaker. The Republican Party needs to die

I am EXHAUSTED by having to defend my existence as a Jew in 2023. I'm also exhausted by the rise in antisemitism in the past few weeks.

Judge Engoron says he does not find Trump to be a credible witness.
Speaking truth to power.
About time more politicians were pulled up for telling lies. Very few of them are credible. Even fewer are ever held to account.

If anyone was curious about what Y’all Qaeda would do if they got power, watch this Speaker closely. He’s all for taking away rights from anyone who is not like him: straight white cis male xristian.

“Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a history of harsh anti-gay language from his time as an attorney for a socially conservative legal group in the mid-2000s,” CNN reports.

“In editorials that ran in his local Shreveport, Louisiana, paper, The Times, Johnson called homosexuality a ‘inherently unnatural’ and ‘dangerous lifestyle’ that would lead to legalized pedophilia and possibly even destroy ‘the entire democratic system.'”

Mike Johnson wanted to criminalize gay sex.

Am I surprised that the new Speaker of the US House of Representatives is a Creationist?

No.

I mean, who needs science when we have The Bible, right?

It's fair to debate Israel's policy toward Palestinians and land. However, there is no doubt Hamas is not a liberation organization; they are terrorists who murdered, raped, beheaded, and kidnapped innocent people. #Accountability

If you even hint that Democrats are responsible for what's happening in the House, I will mute you.

Democrats were not elected to be Republican babysitters.

The GOP has now shown the country that the entire party is given over to Trump. For once, Democrats won't be forced into covering for them.

Republicans can't get behind Hakim Jeffries's basic explaination of America's values.

antisemitism 

This is bullshit. We can’t let people appropriate the cause of a free Palestine to just be antisemitic. It’s not the fault of some random shop owner who happens to be Jewish that Palestine is not free, that’s terrible and unacceptable. missionlocal.org/2023/10/smitt

The new House Speaker Republicans just unanimously elected:

• Architect of House GOP's efforts to overturn the 2020 election
• Voted AGAINST the Violence Against Women Act
• Voted AGAINST the Women's Health Protection Act
• Voted AGAINST bipartisan legislation to codify same-sex marriage
• Authored the federal Don't Say Gay legislation
• Co-sponsored legislation that would make it a felony for providers to perform gender affirming care

The GOP really & truly is The Sedition & Insurrection Party.

JFC, this whole story…

“Bettersten Wade’s search for her adult son ended when she discovered that an officer had run him over — and without telling her, authorities buried him in a pauper’s field.”

“The decision to call the police was difficult for Bettersten. She did not trust them. In 2019, her 62-year-old brother died after a Jackson officer slammed him to the ground.”

New Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA), second in line to the Presidency, wants to criminalize all abortion, tried to overturn President Biden's election, wants to reverse legalizing pot, ban same sex marriage, cut Social Security and Medicare, is a Trump & Putin apologist.

We're in Yikesland.
