Text from article: Greene made clear that she didn’t know what the word “insurrection” meant, because she complained to the “liars” in the media: “When Joe Biden was inaugurated and this entire Capitol complex was surrounded with 30,000 National Guard troops, none of you stood there and called that an insurrection. Oh, no. You all stayed silent.” And Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) declared that, once House Republicans pass their resolution, it will no longer be permissible for “sociopath” journalists like us to call the insurrection an insurrection. “Once we have this on the floor, if you continue to push this, you guys are all going to be guilty of breaching House privileges, okay?” she said. “Because we’re saying that it didn’t happen.” And if House Republicans say so …

They are intentionally failing.

They are either Kremlin-funded, terrified of their kompromat being released, actively seeking the destruction of democracy, or some unholy mashup of the three. 😅 Right, so...

Republicans are unfit. Period.

Via Jon Favreau:

I won't vote for foreign aid without border security legislation but I voted against border security because we don't need border security legislation but I won't vote for foreign aid without border security legislation but...

Acyn:

After Republicans tanked the border security bill, Tim Scott says he voted against a stand-alone bill for Israel/Ukraine aid because: We should first secure our southern border.

Look for "Roe is settled law".

It is wildly implausible that they were being honest to Congress and then changed their minds. Let's not kid ourselves.

I love Venn diagrams.

“Venn diagram explaining why MTG’s book isn’t selling well.” On the left a circle containing the words “people who like Marjorie Taylor Green.” Far to the right, another circle (no intersection) with the words “people who read books.”

Donald #Trump's name disappeared from a golf course in the Bronx that had long welcomed drivers with a large sign reading “TRUMP LINKS.” The new owner removed the sign on Thursday, another example of Trump’s withdrawal from New York City.

something called "falsus in uno," which means "false in one thing, false in everything." He doesn't want to miss anything in such a big case. Trump's lawyers have until 5 pm to respond, according to the report.

Missing The Point

With Ronna McDaniel vacating the RNC Chair in a pivotal election year, a savvy and universally-respected political operative is needed who is as acclaimed for being a brilliant strategist as a keen tactician.

By chance, the obvious candidate is available and sitting ready to answer the call.

Reminder that Middlesex University London is seeking volunteer moderators to participate in research about the impact of upsetting material, and how moderators cope with the work.

The survey is mostly written for salaried moderation teams, but Middlesex has asked volunteers to skip any irrelevant questions, they really want to hear from us!

The study may lead to tools you can use to help with moderator stress.

The only thing “stunning” about this vote is that they held it.
