This really underscores why Fox News, talk radio, and the whole conservative media apparatus has been so critical to the rise of the modern conservative movement. Providing cover for conservatives while they struggle to get "on message."
NEWSMAX: Is it accurate when President Trump calls the affordability crisis "a hoax"?

Yes.

And then also fired a ton of senior agents with a ton of counterterrorism experience, including the Acting Director.
Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

We’re on track to make the Taliban look more scientifically advanced. They banned vaccines for years, killing the very children they claimed to protect.

And it’s that serious. The government can absolutely believe it is saving children and fighting evil, while sentencing you to illness and death.

Members of the military take an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to obey the orders of the president too.

I guess they never imagined the president could present the threat to the Constitution, but here we are.

Even the concept of a Republican health care plan has been secret for years (or just maybe it does not exist).
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

there's really just zero motivation for Ds to negotiate when they're saying things like this. if they're just going to rule by recissision anyway, might as well make them admit they're gutting the fillibuster in order to destroy healthcare.
Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

Part of Leavitt’s justification for the Guard in Portland: people are “disrespecting” ICE and engaged in “civil disobedience.”

Section 12406 allows deployment only in the event of foreign invasion, a rebellion, or inability to enforce federal laws.

Not disrespect and disobedience.

ICE is getting paid; DHS has a massive budget & is wasting $$ with abandon.

Meanwhile air traffic controllers already had to work 6 days a week & won’t get paychecks. What matters more to you, America?

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

I feel like there is a genuine challenge journalists face here:

Openly telling us that the goal is to completely politicize the Federal Reserve and monetary policy.
