it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The way to handle the current attack on the First Amendment is a total coverage blackout of the clown and his minions. We don't need to hear the lies on the news and I for one don't need to hear the voice of any of them spouting the regime's bullshit. MSM needs to shut em down or they'll be next.

Right now, it feels like the Keystone Kops and the Three Stooges are running the government while the Republicans are cheering and laughing at the show and the Democrats are bound and gagged in the back room. I can’t wait for this movie to be over.

@aoc.bsky.social: "They're saying cut $880 billion from the Energy & Commerce Committee. I sit on that committee. Almost the entire budget that Energy & Commerce explores is Medicaid and Medicare. There is no way they can make their math square without enormous and devastating cuts to Medicaid."

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

America has not always lived up to its ideals as a nation, particularly with foreign policy. We must be honest about that. This moment from both Trump and Vance was reprehensible and yet another move to support global autocracy. We must continue to push for a higher standard from our leaders.

You may see misinformation about water availability, linking the Palisades Fire to statewide policy. There is no link. See statement from LADWP. They had the water to fill all the existing tanks ahead of time, and did. The challenges have nothing to do with lack of supply or smelt in the Delta.
Press statement from Los Angeles Department of Water and Power:  WATER SUPPLY PREPAREDNESS & AVAILABILITY IN PACIFIC PALISADES
In advance of the fire, LADWP activated its emergency preparedness protocols and filled all available water storage facility tanks (around 114 throughout the City), including three 1-million-gallon tanks in Palisades area.

Water was supplied continuously to the area through our pipes flowing to the Palisades area and remains available but is limited in areas at higher elevations, impacting some fire hydrants. This occurred because demand exceeded the speed with which the three water tanks located at higher elevations in the Pacific Palisades could be replenished due to extreme water demand. Due to the intensity of fires, various contingency plans were impacted, hampering access to the tanks by crews. At one-point crews attempting to reroute water to refill the Marquez Knolls tank had to be evacuated.
