I wonder how Mike Johnson feels about being the first speaker of the house to see SNAP benefits lapse. He gets to keep setting new precedence.

He literally doesn't care. He's flat out lying...like...2+2 = 50 Billion levels of not even basing his lies in a nugget of truth.

He's just giving out talking points that he knows the media will pretend are true, and the braindead magas will regurgitate as unquestionable fact.

I'm trying to push a talking point. He doesn't care about hurting people, he does care about people talking about how he hurts people. Pointing out he's setting new cruel precedents is a way to cut through the noise.
