KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?
HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs
KARL: So they might not go down?

Incredible video from Reddit (too large to upload the screencap). CBP agents attempt to detain a flower vendor and end up getting chased into a vacant lot by a crowd of teenagers. What a bunch of impotent sad sacks.

People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

The U.S. bishops defended migrant families. Tom Homan snapped. Nan Hayworth called Pope Leo a “tool of our enemies.” Tim Burchett accused the church of getting rich off of sex trafficking.
Matt Walsh, Lara Logan, and the rest joined in. This is what MAGA anti-Catholicism looks like.

It’s the latest MAGA attack on Pope Leo’s pro-immigrant stance. Disgraced border chief Tom Homan — caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava takeout bag — led the charge against Leo and the bishops.

Ahem. It's the job of the President to appoint DAs - with advice and consent from the Senate.
The President can ignore that rule - but only once (per district) and only for 120 days.
Do you know who appoints DAs after the 120 day mark has passed?
Pam Bondi doesn't. Because it's the judiciary.

I actually think this is a fair point and it’s hard to know precisely what you’d publish out of these emails. It’s just maddening in comparison to the NYT’s willingness to absolutely obsess over scurrilous rumors about Biden dementia, Clinton email non-scandals, etc.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.
