LindellTV, election denier Mike Lindell's media company, posted to its X account and noted, Press Stunned as Speaker Johnson Walks Out Without Taking Questions. In a rare move, @SpeakerJohnson exited his Monday morning remarks without taking a single question leaving reporters stunned and scrambling down the hallway after him, continued the post, adding: According to gallery rules, the Speaker is expected to take at least one question. Johnson has never skipped Q&A before. After weeks of daily shutdown updates and follow up questions,

His chronic ignorance looks less like a habit than a strategy a way to stay in the good graces of President Donald Trump, who rewards loyalty above all. In Trump's Washington, knowledge is dangerous. Knowing too much can force you to act, make you responsible, even put you at odds with the leader who prefers fealty to fact. So Johnson has mastered a subtler art: performative ignorance. I'm not aware does more than dodge a question it signals allegiance.

The impending loss of SNAP benefits for tens of millions of Americans is front of mind right now, and Republicans are still playing the blame game. Friday marks the 31st day of the government shutdown, now the second-longest in American history. Meanwhile, during his daily press briefings at the Capitol, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has taken to speaking from a podium with a sign on it that reads "The Democrat Shutdown." Johnson was joined on Friday by Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins.

Bethany laughed, said that is silly, but that yes, according to the definition of it, the protestors were certainly Antifa. Obviously, if you look at the definition of it, Antifa, anti-fascist I've spoke to a couple of veterans who said that's literally what they fought against. They are anti-fascist. So I think I should be proud to say that the people out here are Antifa, Bethany said. We don't agree with the fascist government.

CALLING ALL RESISTANCE FROGS! It's time once again to put your brainy-brain to the test with this week's edition of POP QUIZ PDX -our weekly, local, sassy-ass trivia quiz. And this week we'll be testing your knowledge on alllll the crazy stuff that happened this week, including "the inflatable resistance," blood-thirsty ICE dipshits, and why U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is so afraid of naked people. 😂 But first! How did you do on our last quiz? Wow, you are exquisitely smart!

The people of Arizona's seventh congressional district a vast territory extending across the state's south, along the Mexican border have been denied representation in Congress for weeks. That's because Mike Johnson, the Republican House speaker, has refused to swear in Adelita Grijalva, their representative-elect, who won a special election to fill the seat vacated by her father, the late Raul Grijalva, in a landslide late last month.

Democrats have railed against Johnson for refusing to swear Grijalva in until the shutdown ends and the House returns to session, accusing him of wanting to block a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. "You just don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge petition," Gallego told Johnson, who responded that the claim is "totally absurd" and said, "You guys are experts at red herrings and distractions."

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the early recess of the House to avoid a vote demanding the release of more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, accusing Democrats of political games.

I'm as anxious to see how that plays out as you are. I will tell you that the sentiment here, certainly my opinion is that we should reduce interest rates. The American economy is hot, and we have so many good things going on.
