Speaker Johnson responded to Joe Kent’s resignation:
“We all understood there was clearly an imminent threat. Iran was very close to nuclear capability. The president felt he had to strike first to prevent mass casualties.”
Joe Kent was the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
Assessing imminent threats was literally his job.
He just resigned and said under his own name: Iran posed no imminent threat.
Johnson said he doesn’t know where Kent is getting his information.
Kent’s information came from the National Counterterrorism Center.
Where is Johnson getting his?
Mark Warner: no imminent threat.
Chris Murphy: totally incoherent, classified briefing confirmed it.
Joe Kent: resigned over it.
Ted Cruz: the nuclear program wasn’t even part of the targeting campaign.
The Speaker of the House just contradicted Trump’s own counterterrorism director, two US Senators with classified access, and the administration’s own targeting decisions.
“I don’t know where Joe Kent is getting his information.”
From his job, Speaker Johnson.
From his job.
Never stop connecting the dots.
🚨 WARNING: Mileage tax coming to California.
We already have the highest gas tax in America. Now the state wants to charge you again based on how far you drive on broken roads.
I ran the numbers. If this tax existed last year, my mileage tax would’ve been nearly equal to my property tax.
Working Californians can’t afford this. Share this and get involved if you’re against this taxation theft!
BREAKING: CNN’s Daniel Dale fact checks the most outlandish lies in Trump’s speech. There’s so much that Trump yelled that wasn’t true that Dale can barely get through it all. Make sure everyone sees this and gets the facts.
We all knew they would do this, Republicans wouldn’t even follow laws when compelled by judges, their “promises” means nothing.
The those 8 dems f’d us all for nothing.
They have had 15 years to develop a healthcare plan and they still can’t get their “concept” out of the drafts folder. They didn’t do repeal, they didn’t do replace. They did failure.
🚨NEW: Speaker Johnson says there will not be a vote to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies. Insurance premiums are now guaranteed to increase by an average of $1,016 - over 110 percent - next year.
RETWEET to let America know the GOP is increasing health care costs!
Donald Trump canceled a plan for airlines to compensate you hundreds of dollars for flights delayed by hours and hours.
United Airlines and Delta Airlines each gave $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund.
Just so we’re clear: Trump slaps tariffs on China. China refuses to buy our soybeans. Trump sends $40B of our money to Argentina. Argentina discounts their soybeans, surging sales to China. Trump spends $12B of our money to bailout American farmers. America First - my ass.
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, CNN just announced that Donald Trump is postponing the introduction of his healthcare plan. Turns out, Trump doesn’t even have concepts of a plan.
Day laborer organizers in California are lining up at Home Depot to buy a single 17-cent scraper, return it, and repeat the process in an effort to slow sales and protest the store’s cooperation with ICE operations.
Trump signs a bill reclassifying Nursing as “Not A Professional Degree” for College Students.

HOLY CRAP! Tim Burchett is GOING OFF this morning over how BAD insider stock trading is in DC. I have NOT seen him this FIRED UP like this ever before.
"You know, everybody talks about this place being a dadgum swamp. It's NOT a swamp. A swamp is something cool God created. It filters water, animal life lives and flourishes around it."
"[Washington DC] is a SEWER and it needs to STOP."
"Everybody wants to knock Pelosi. Heck, she's not even in the TOP 10... This body has been enriching itself on the taxpayers’ money."
"This place is as CROOKED as a dog’s leg."
"Let’s quit with this nonsense. Let’s give America a reason to trust Congress for once in our MISERABLE lives. This is our chance to STAND UP and say we hear what you’re saying, we are going to fix this dadgum problem, but probably won’t do it and I’ll remained ticked off the rest of the day because of this and it needs to STOP."
I wish EVERY LAST member of Congress had this kind of visceral reaction to the American people getting F*CKED.
Godspeed @timburchett, I will pray for your sanity.
Thomas Massie: "I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is going to get embarrassed because he went to Rape Island… How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when there are rich men in handcuffs being perp-walked to the jail."
BREAKING: An unearthed video shows Former Defense Secretary Esper saying Trump wanted to shoot protesters. “Can’t you just shoot them?” This is why our military needs the reminder about unlawful orders.
