Mike Johnson says "Every day of this shutdown [Trump] has tried... to lessen the pain as much as possible." What a crock. Trump openly brags that he's using the shutdown to do mass layoffs, terminate programs, "kill" the Democrats, and inflict pain. Johnson can't hide the truth: Trump is a sadist.
Trump Isn’t Easing the Shutdown Pain—He’s Inflicting It
Mike Johnson says the president is protecting Americans from the shutdown. That’s completely wrong.

Not a lot of urgency on redistricting in IL for some reason…
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 10mo ago"In general, I do not think mid-decade redistricting for political purposes is something that any state should be doing. That's why I have to say that if we're forced into it....we can." @jbpritzker.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today's Bulwark Podcast:

"Trump was asked, 'What’s your relationship with God like? And how do you pray?' ...The first words out of his mouth were: 'OK, so I think it’s good. I do very well with the evangelicals.'

Trump Is Worrying About the Afterlife. Thank Heaven.
