In a Fox interview that aired earlier this week, Mike Johnson indicated he might retire from the House altogether if Republicans failed to retain control of Congress following the midterm elections.
Threaten me with a good time, why don't you?
Buh-bye, Mikey.

Reminder: On Fox News on July 19, 2020, Trump promised a “full and complete” health care plan “within two weeks.”

That was 2,272 days ago.

If you think he’s going to have a health care plan right after the midterms, you’re a fucking idiot.

Mullin: Saying there have been many ICE involved shootings is absolutely false. You guys don't cover all our other arrests, just these ones

(There have been at least 25 shootings involving immigration officers in Trump's second term)

🚨 BREAKING: SOURCES IN UKRAINE TELL ME AN “OCTOBER SURPRISE” IS COMING FOR RUSSIAN OIL.

I just got off the phone with a source in Ukraine who tells me that, after Zelensky saw Trump’s announcement about bringing Russian diesel into the American market, whatever Ukraine was holding back is now on the table.

According to my source, that was Zelensky’s message: everything is now on the table. Ukraine is preparing to unleash its own October surprise—a major barrage against Russia’s oil infrastructure.

Stay tuned. This story is developing. Subscribe, follow, and share—I’ll keep you updated as I learn more.

HUGE crowd last night in Kansas for Democrat Adam Hamilton who is running for US Senate. This is not good for Republicans but great for democracy.

Rarely has a person been so enmeshed in the workings (or one might say, dysfunctions) of our current political-economic-media-influence system as Kimberly Guilfoyle. Let me explain...https://t.co/dXXpHBYVAt

JOINT STATEMENT OF THE FOREIGN MINISTERS OF CANADA, DENMARK, GERMANY, FRANCE, ITALY, JAPAN, THE NETHERLANDS, UNITED KINGDOM

"As committed supporters of the ICC we regret and strongly disagree with the announcement of sanctions to be imposed upon the Court by the United States."

Ossoff: "How can a sitting congressman vote to shut down a labor and delivery unit in his own district? Delivering mothers in Mike Collins's district now have to drive an hour to get to a labor and delivery unit while they're in labor while we already a maternal mortality crisis."

[Mother Jones @MotherJones]

National climate assessment reports are considered the gold standard report on global warming. So of course, Trump's energy chief wants to mess with them. https://t.co/mfJfFYRZEP

The huge Trump banner remains outside Dept of Justice

Now Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) wants Smithsonian to commit to take possession of the banners after Trump’s Presidency ends .. to allow future generations to study “monuments to authoritarian narcissism”

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Tens of billions for Trump's war.

$0 to stop your health insurance premiums from doubling.

That's a choice Republicans made.

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, not Putin, is the leader who should be invited to the G20 gathering. Zelensky leads a country of incredibly brave and determined people whose fight for their freedom should inspire us all," writes David J. Kramer, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, and Moldova, in his open letter.

We printed out all 3.5 million Epstein Files and have put them on the road so Americans can read them.

The Justice Department responded by calling it a “sham tour.”

Sounds like the coverup isn’t going the way they planned.

Vote early if you can, have an election day plan if you can’t, and let’s do whatever it takes, because we don’t need to keep living with this. Noncitizens aren’t determining the outcome of our elections. We are—eligible American citizen voters. And that’s precisely what Trump is most afraid of. https://t.co/yIDauu3r69

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

A logger humiliated Susan Collins on live TV. A Trump judge caught ICE in its own paperwork. And I found a $700,000 payment dated the same day Trump's Treasury did a Putin ally a favor. Trump wanted all of it buried. Oops. https://t.co/QU26TnZ9L5

Arlington County's local elected body has just sued to block construction of Trump's planned triumphal arch — arguing that administration officials bypassed a key review process in their push to begin work on the structure.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Today, I called on the Inspector General at DOJ to investigate why the FBI modified its hiring standards to allow those who stole from an employer, paid for sex, and engaged in bestiality to work for the Bureau.

If Kash Patel won’t give us answers on these hiring changes, we need someone who will.

[Dexter Wright @Dexter__Wright]

I knew before Trump took office that it would be bad, but it's even worse than I feared

[Andrew Weinstein @AWeinstein]

ICE has created an environment where red flags are ignored, violence is normalized, accountability is optional, and the outcomes are entirely predictable. What happened in New York isn’t a one‑off tragedy. It’s a system functioning exactly as designed.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

This is absolutely insane. Trump is so desperate to save himself in the election in three weeks he is going to PAY a global pariah that is slaughtering civilians in Ukraine, buying weapons and troops from North Korea and Iran, and supplying intelligence to the Iranians to target our service members. The Republican Congress has utterly failed in every way to control this chaos and stupidity.
