New: Speaker Johnson caves to Leader Thune. In a joint statement they announce they will fund DHS through both appropriations process and reconciliation. Legit what could’ve been done on Friday. This is basically what the Senate did that House leadership called “garbage”

Rep. David Morales (D-RI) says the mural for Iryna Zarutska "does not reflect our values"

Gosh, you must really hate Iranians, Mark Levin, that you want to open them up to more repression, the potential for civil war, and you seem willing to want to take the risk of more instability in the region in general, which will eventually draw in the United States. And to prove you really hate them — you use the argument of Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua as good examples of U.S. arming opposition factions. Do you want to finish your thought, Mark, and tell the audience how it turned out for Afghanistan, Angola, and Nicaragua? Afghanistan ended up in a civil war after the Soviets withdrew, and what came after that? The Taliban, which offered safe haven to Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, among many other issues. Angolans had to live through a decades-long proxy war that devastated the country. Nicaraguans lived through a prolonged conflict that caused great suffering and instability. Are Iranians not even worthy of a good pitch from you — one that is well thought out and wouldn’t subject them to another layer of hell after all they’ve been through? Also, you have repeatedly promoted Reza Pahlavi — he keeps claiming that he has many thousands of defectors from the military, including “senior” members of the IRGC. All of these men have access to weapons —what happened to them? How the hell do you sleep at night?

I’m all for dunking on Democrats for normalizing crazy, stupid, and ideologically dangerous, jackasses. It’s a fair and legitimate point. But to pretend or even imply this is just a problem with one of our parties is crazy, stupid, ideologically dangerous jackassery.
