Things Mike Johnson hasn't called "detestable":
- DOJ covering up the Epstein files
- Stripping millions of Americans of their health insurance
- Trump’s masked ICE agents killing people on our streets
So, forgive us if we don't give a damn. See you on the Mall at 8.

The numbers don't lie: Donald Trump robbed Americans families an average of $1,700 with his illegal tariff tax.
It's time for Trump to pay up. He needs to tell the American people his plan to pay back the $1,700 in hard-earned money he stole from them.

Marylanders don't want Trump’s ICE on our streets or their facilities in our backyards. A few weeks ago, I joined hundreds in Washington Co to say that loud & clear.
I'm glad to see @oagmaryland.bsky.social is acting to block ICE’s construction of a detention center in Washington County.
Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1. Instead, he's sided with Putin at every turn, prolonging the war & throwing the Ukrainian people under the bus.
Zelenskyy is right to stand up for his people & call out Trump's double standard, which is making peace harder.
Imagine taking a vacation abroad & being disappeared to a jail for 40+ days for no reason.
That’s what this Admin is doing to foreign tourists. It's outrageous & hurting our businesses.
When will other nations start holding the Admin accountable for mistreating their citizens?
Trump's economy is failing Americans.
Working families are struggling to make ends meet, & Trump's tariff tax has made things even worse.
Maybe it's time he and Republicans stop passing tax cuts for the wealthy and start tackling rising prices — though I'm not holding my breath.
We cannot believe a damn word from DHS. They tried to HIDE their killing of another American citizen.
The victim's family & the American people deserve immediate accountability in this case & for all of DHS's lawless killings.
Kristi Noem needs be fired or impeached, NOW.
Once again, the US has leverage to stop these atrocities that we are not using.
Individual sanctions aren't enough. Congress must act & pass my & @sarajacobs.house.gov bill to halt arms sales to the UAE until they stop arming the genocidal RSF.
We are not powerless to help end this.
Finally, SCOTUS reaffirms what we've known all along, Trump's tariffs are an unconstitutional tax on the American people.
Over the last year, working people paid an average of $1,000 more because of these tariffs. And Trump has no plan to put that money back in your wallet.
They're not even trying to hide the grift anymore.
This week, Trump's crypto company held a conference at Mar-A-Lago where Admin officials & Wall Street execs wined & dined together.
Just the latest from the most corrupt admin in American history & Republicans are still silent.
Americans paid nearly 90% of the cost of Trump's tariffs last year. So, let's call this what it is: a tax on the American people.
While Trump's family & cronies are making billions in crypto schemes & tax breaks from their Big Ugly Bill, working families are barely scraping by.
Another Trump SCAM on the American people!
Not only did we lose access to critical health data by pulling out of the WHO, Trump is now going to spend BILLIONS to recreate these systems.
Keep your eye out for the next Trump-flunky getting a massive taxpayer-funded contract here.
Trump & his Admin are threatening everything from federalizing our elections to putting federal agents at the polls to ensure, as Kristi Noem said, the "right people" are "electing the right leaders."
They're doing everything to subvert & intimidate. We can't let that happen.
Again, the 'No New Wars' president seems to be on the verge of attacking another country.
Trump may’ve told Netanyahu about his plans, but only Congress has the power to declare war.
Dragging us into another destabilizing war in the Middle East is what Trump pledged NOT to do.
I applaud the Baltimore County Council & County Executive for quickly passing a ban on private ICE detention facilities in the county.
Our state has seen the inhumanity of these facilities firsthand & Marylanders have made it clear: we don't want Trump’s ICE or their jails here.
So let's get this straight: Hegseth wants AI to be programmed to kill people WITHOUT any human authorization or intervention?
Is he trying to devise a system to shield himself and others from allegations of war crimes?
www.axios.com/2026/02/15/c...
Next week, Trump will deliver his State of the Union address. I won't be there.
Trump is marching America towards fascism, and I refuse to normalize his shredding of our Constitution & democracy.
This cannot be business as usual.
www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...
Extrajudicial killings have become the norm for this Administration.
From shooting our own citizens in Minneapolis to these lawless killings in international waters.
We must make sure that Hegseth & those who ordered these murders are held accountable.
When corporate media obeys in advance, authoritarianism wins & the truth loses.
This cowardice from CBS — & the Admin's weaponization of the FCC — threatens our 1st Amendment rights. We must not be silent as corporations keep bowing down to Trump.
We must call them out.
DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.
Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.
This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.
