BARTIROMO: You say officials falsified a police report. What happened at the airport?

NANCY MACE: Here's the thing, Maria. We have to take our security very seriously. If you're conservative, if you're well known, if you fight the transgender community like I have...

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.
NEW: Jim Jordan and House GOPers refused to let the American public hear directly from Jack Smith, per his attorney.

Spotify needs to mind its business…

I spent the first three months of the year, trying to build a wedding playlist.

I don’t think they should be allowed to give you a Spotify wrapped in the year you got married.

You know how in the suburbs SADD will host a cop to show up before prom and give kids “beer goggles” and make them walk an obstacle course to show how alcohol impairs you to prevent drunk driving?

They should do this to qualify for a Costco membership.

good grief. One of the AI slop cake recipes was a 6 inch cake cooked for 4 hours at 320°F. 
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

I mean yeah they should all go to prison for years. What did they think they were doing when they marched into offices they didn't belong in, demanded access to systems they had no legal right to, and took money that wasn't theirs away from legally mandated programs?
