We are so fucked
Watch the entire speech:
Mike Johnson is now the House Speaker, by unanimous GOP vote. The NYT comes out swinging, to their credit: "Johnson played leading role in effort to overturn 2020 election". Reporter @SteveEder is on both pieces, from 2022 and now – someone to follow. 11/https://t.co/qpm6M6U4vp pic.twitter.com/XUYftjKWfd

Our new Speaker
I might be wrong, but to me, Johnson appears to be a classic Republican closet case. Anyone who spends so much time worrying about what other people do in the bedroom usually have secrets of their own:
Speaker #AbortionBanMike barely had the gavel in hand before he was blathering away about Scripture and the BIBLE in full unConstitutional Christofascist glory. https://t.co/9VQZVsDKFu

He’s already signifying his theocratic fascism. Do not be hoodwinked by his soft spoken gee whiz aw shucks ness. He’s a toxic fanatic who worked tirelessly to overthrow a 247-year-old democracy. In court. On the floor 1/7/21.
He’s a pro Trump religious zealot with an agenda.

This is what he needs to say, but I’m on the other side of this. I absolutely think Republicans will try to sabotage the election and/or transfer of power again. And I firmly believe the next election is going to decide the fate of democracy in this country. https://t.co/PG1RWOxENb

Extremist cops. I know, it seems redundant.
At least 27 current and former Chicago police officers appeared in leaked Oath Keepers roster, per various reports. Read this article. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾https://t.co/UgCgDEBurD

The beat goes on
BREAKING: Just hours after he won the GOP nomination for speaker, Tom Emmer has officially dropped out of the race, according to multiple sources.
That means Republicans are back to square one, again.

Many years ago
…I was at a conference of editorial writers at the Constitution Center, and at the Q & A after, I asked why they never wrote about the dangers of the Dominionist movement — a theocracy which says it’s alright to lie, cheat, and steal to get into power so you can rule for Jesus. They never heard of it, they thought I was a little cuckoo:
The New Apostolic Reformation has PR problems as they face of criticism and controversy. But their Dominionist agenda is unchanged.https://t.co/dXin9xalGu

Told ya
"There has been widespread hope that somebody, anybody, would gain traction against Trump. But now…it’s evident that a Republican panic is emerging from hibernation."
Good @costareports reporting on the desperate GOP panic about Trump @PostOpinions https://t.co/APdLZEyhbM
