Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end Trump's elfish toady is quickly losing control of the House.

Wrote about the wheels coming off the house majority, as Johnson lost two key votes in less than 24 hours, and both in ways that suggest he has permanent problems with his moderate wing...and with everyone else. www.publicnotice.co/p/mike-johns...

BAFTA pulling a trailer for an autobiographical game about surviving sexual assault only hours before it was said to be a part of a showcase is an exceptionally bad look.
