As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

My dog likes to sleep with a couple bones in its bed and it just struck me how hard-core that is. Imagine sleeping on a pile of the bones of your defeated enemies.

One of the few positive aspects of this era in American history is that it's super-easy to identify the villains.

There’s a cult of ignorance in the US and always has been.
The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Perhaps the NYT should run some articles about how the Republicans need to listen to the concerns of ordinary Democratic voters.

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

I’m not as mad at Whitmer as a lot of folks are. She was there to get stuff done for her state, and she got ambushed with an Oval Office appearance.
Trump did that (including praising her) on purpose - she scares the crap out of the GOP and he was hoping to wound her politically.
