GOP Clown Show

I mean….

"Let me explain to you guys in simple English, okay? Iran is run by lunatics" -- Marco Rubio seems to be impersonating Trump in this clip, right down to his gestures and word choice

Democratic voters in Texas scramble to find polling place amid precinct voting switch Early voting had been countywide and saw record Democratic turnout, but the switch to precinct-only locations left many voters showing up at the wrong spot and being turned away.

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas scrambled to find their polling places Tuesday after the local Republican parties refused to hold a joint primary — ending more than a decade of convenient countywide voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I mean I’m in no way an expert but it feels like this is all really spiraling very fast and the people who kicked it off are in their offices trying to stay in front of it with panicked Google searches

A federal judge in New Jersey is now requiring immigration officials to formally acknowledge court orders that block migrants from being transferred out of state, after the government repeatedly ignored those rulings. U.S. District Judge Michael E. Farbiarz issued the order.

House intel member: There'll be an Iran investigation if Democrats win the midterms "There are things we have to look at that people don't even know about."

“There’s no way people should trust what the administration is saying. They’re trying to find facts on the ground to justify whatever goal they have.”

Breaking: The House Oversight Committee is requesting transcribed interviews with 7 new individuals as part of the panel's Epstein investigation:

Bill Gates: May 19
Kathryn Ruemmler: April 21
Ted Waitt: April 16
Doug Band: May 5
Leon Black: May 13
Lesley Groff: June 9
Sarah Kellen: June 3

I can’t stand all this winning.

WOW

This will mean a lot to some US Capitol Police families

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) just now at hearing: "All those thugs have actually been pardoned, yet we haven't thanked the Capitol Police officers"

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

It's sad that when Kennedy switched from Dem to Republican he decided that he had to play a foolish country bumpkin to appeal to the MAGA mob, because he is actually really smart when he drops the schtick.

I need to stress something here:

The US destroying Iran’s navy is about as impressive as prime Michael Jordan dunking on a toddler.

I know the administration needs something to brag about, but this outcome was literally never in question.

A thorn in Trump's side his first term were senators at the end of their careers who couldn't be pressured -- McCain, Corker, even Flake.

I think we're about to see a new wave of those folks, and whatever the motive -- true repentance or shameless ass-covering -- they'll help erode his standing

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Rubio screwed up Sunday by saying the quiet part out loud. Then shit hit the fan - especially with MAGA. It caused problems for Netanyahu. Now he’s trying to say that what he said he didn’t really say. It’s on video. He said what he said. Now he’s lying. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.”

FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

Noem asked to retract comments calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pushed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to retract her previous statements labeling Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. Noem said she was ...

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.

Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

This is fantastic. I just wish they had courage before they announced retirement

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Is this bad? It seems bad.

Tom Tillis has been DESTROYING Noem for the last five minutes.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
