These whistleblowers are the conscience of their institutions, the country. Their courage and patriotism helps ensure accountability, inspires others and shows how to lead by example. They are the best of us with the risks they take.

Well said, Mike!

Speaker Johnson, You maintain your position in the House through cowardly compliance with a pedafile, traitor, ruthless criminal- a 34-count felon! You’re the one who doesn’t deserve health insurance!

Very well stated! Was going to say similar, but you did it best, Laurie.

Love to hear how bravery, courage, and heck even just a tiny bit of common sense is winning the day.

59%. That's the number. Six in ten Americans looked at the spray-tanned incompetent authoritarian in the Oval Office and said: he cannot lead. 67% say he doesn't carefully consider important decisions. 1 in 3 of his own Republican base now has doubts. The White House physician keeps certifying "excellent" health. The president keeps making unscheduled Saturday "dental appointments." The machinery of American power is running with no reliable mind at the wheel — and the people running it have decided you don't need to know that.

I think Jay Kuo was the first to call him 'Squeaker Johnson"... When I was growing up, 'Squeaker' had a rather ribald meaning.

oh... that is just too TOO funny and spot on... makes me laugh besides. thanks!

I think the House Speaker and all congressional republicans should be made to live on social security and Medicaid for two years. Then, and only then would they be eligible to vote on either service.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

except there is a WORK requirement... and they have demonstrated NO ability, interest, skill, or motivation to ACTUALLY do the WORK they were elected to do.

That GQP Speaker is one of those people who don't deserve health care.

He should be getting his health care in Jail.

Trump wants to cancel the midterms so that he can get red states to gerrymander as much as possible. DeSanhose is trying to redistrict Florida. But just one small note, Texas did it but they are still losing to Democrats in elections. I am an election official here in Buffalo, NY. I know the Democrats here are doing whatever they can to uphold democratic elections. Also the ACLU is taking a number of states to court.

It just stumps me how people can still think Trump is great with all the incredibly evil things he is doing. Those people are just pure haters and do not deserve any compassion.

Or just plain stupid!

we have officially entered the stage of "ignorance is celebrated"

Joan Levine's avatar

Is there a $$$ number that tells us how much healthcare costs to insure Republicans in congress? (And those who have left after trashing us as best they could)

netta glaser's avatar

I would like to know those numbers, thank you Joan for the insight

Without your good news updates, Scott, I doubt I could make it thru the day! Thank you!

My response to the so-called Speaker of the House would be "And some people don't deserve to have a position in government that affects millions of people, let alone a so-called Christian. You are the farthest thing from being a Christian, in fact, you are quite the opposite. You certainly don't follow the Ten commandments or any of the Beatitudes. Most obvious is you act as though your"God" sits in the W.H. and have turned your back on the God you pretend to be yours.

Joanne Steacie's avatar

Another terrific statement! Thanks, Mary!
