Mike Johnson just sent the House home early until after the midterms. Thomas Massie predicted this weeks ago. Johnson mocked him for it. Now Massie is responding.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Gov Shapiro (D-PA) doesn’t mince words when he calls out Trump and his family for enriching themselves to the tune of $2.2 billion and tells his constituents that corruption costs taxpayers. He only thinks about how to put more money into his pockets, not yours. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS

Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. Now we’re at 2,700+ cases and Americans are dying. We had the vaccine, we had the science, and we had this under control. Then Trump put an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of America’s health. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS

Trump made $2.2 billion for himself and his kids while sitting in the Oval Office. Meanwhile you're deciding between groceries and gas. But sure, tell me again how he's looking out for working people. Every dollar he pocketed came from someone else. #TrumpsCorruptionCostsUS #Pinks

Global Abortion Rights News @globalabortionnews.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Four years after Dobbs, there's been a significant, sustained and politically consequential shift in public opinion. The debate over abortion rights did not simply return to the states. It fundamentally altered how many Americans think about the issue and how they vote.

Public Opinion on Abortion Has Shifted to Greater Pro-Choice Support | Highbrow Magazine
As states moved quickly after 'Dobbs' to enact abortion bans, public opinion moved in the opposite direction.
