Luján: "Let me give you a- it's a secret. Republicans are in the majority in the U.S. House. Mike Johnson's the one that's sitting on his ass and not doing a damn thing to move the legislation.”

Trump: If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, it would blow Italy up in two minutes Italy PM: Nine nations have nuclear weapons and only one has used it. That one is the United States of America.

Rep. Menendez: What grade would you give yourself on delivering affordable energy? Wright: Uh... I would give the... I, I can't give... Rep. Menendez: Okay, I'll answer the question for you. Gas is up $1 per gallon since January, and diesel prices are now over $5 per gallon. Electricity prices have risen 13%. Inflation tripled last month. So I would give you an F.

Every word of this is a lie. Take exactly the opposite of each sentence (e.g., "The White House has always had ample space for events, which is why no president has ever felt the need to build a wildly over-budget, preposterously behind-schedule ballroom") and you have the truth.

MERKLEY TO VOUGHT: I heard Republicans are for working families? That is a shock to Americans. We saw who was lined up behind Trump at his inauguration: Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg. Then Trump made health care more expensive for families while giving those billionaires tax cuts.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

A reading from the Book of Tarantino

I’ll never get over the fact that bribe infested Clarence Thomas gave Trump immunity for attempting a coup that Ginni Thomas helped plan.

Guess I’ll take this opportunity to mention that my numbers are far from fake - Trump really is that unpopular. And you can pre order my book I Disagree as of today!! penguinrandomhouse.com/books/803493/i…

"I ended up writing an article in 2019 in @TheAtlantic explaining that Donald Trump is mentally disordered. He's a narcissistic psychopath and a malignant narcissist, that is inconsistent with the duties of, and the obligations of, and the ability to conduct the presidency of the United States."

BREAKING: WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat Analilia Mejia wins election to U.S. House in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District.

Tom Nichols spent nearly 20 years teaching just war theory at Harvard. He is precise about what Vance got wrong. The just war tradition does not tell Christians when God is on their side. It regards war as evil and every life taken - ally or enemy - as a tragedy. Its conditions - just cause, right intention, proportionality, last resort - are not a permission slip. They are questions a leader must answer before risking his mortal soul by sending people to die. After Vance's remarks, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops doctrine chairman put it in writing: Pope Leo is not offering opinions. He is exercising his ministry as Vicar of Christ. That is Bishop Massa's clarification, addressed directly to this situation. Vance told the pope that theology should be "anchored in truth." Nichols identifies that phrase correctly: it means nothing. Whose truth? The bishop of Rome, whom Catholics believe speaks with charism on matters of faith and morals, was told by a recent convert that he should go do his theology homework. The Catholic tradition Vance cited has a name for this disposition. Pope Gregory the Great called pride the queen of all vices. The Latin word is superbia. Proverbs 16:18 has been in the text considerably longer than the Iran war.

We’re all trapped in a toxic abusive relationship with this blubbering fool, and those who could do something about it are busy deifying him. Everything is insane.

NEW: Judge orders ABOVE GROUND work halted for Trump's new White House ballroom. Underground stuff can continue Judge: "Limiting the scope of the injunction to above-ground construction directly addresses the Natl Trust's irreparable harm, which stems from the above-ground, visible construction of the ballroom"

🚨 Speaker Johnson lectured the Pope on just war doctrine. The Pope is an Augustinian friar who earned his doctorate writing about Augustine, led every Augustinian friar in the world for 12 years, and was literally standing at Augustine’s tomb the same week Johnson gave his lecture. Augustine invented the doctrine. Read the full piece. 🔗 open.substack.com/pub/theallenan…

BREAKING: Senator Jon Ossoff just promised that when Democrats win the majority, Democrats are going to get to the bottom of Donald Trump's corruption. Let's go.

The man is a walking national security hazard

trump says if negotiations work, "we'll have FREE OIL..." This is why you can't believe anything he says. He just says shit, totally disconnected from reality.
