BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene's disgusting decision to show pornographic photographs of Hunter Biden during a Congressional hearing blows up in her face in glorious fashion.
Hunter's lawyer has filed a whopping ethics complaint against Greene, demanding that an ethics watchdog "immediately" open up a review into her detestable conduct.
The complaint, delivered as a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics, rips into Greene's actions as "abhorrent behavior that blatantly violates House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct."
Attorney Abbe David Lowell called for the House to make it "loud and clear" that it "doe not endorse, condone, or agree with her outrageous, undignified conduct and brazen violations of the standards of official conduct" displayed by Greene.
If the OCE, a non-partisan organization, decides that Greene's misconduct requires further punishment they will refer the matter to the Ethic Committee.

BREAKING: Shockwaves rip through MAGA land as the Senate Judiciary Committee votes to advance a Supreme Court ethics reform bill in the wake of reports about mass corruption amongst Republican justices.
The vote to advance came down to party lines, with Republicans openly admitting through their "no" votes that they do not want an ethical Supreme Court. They don't mind corruption so long as it benefits them.
This bill is in large part a response to the shocking revelation that Justice Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito accepted tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts, luxury trips, and perks from Republican megadonors. They have been living like hogs while bending over backwards to ram through unpopular right-wing rulings.
We also still do not know who paid off Brett Kavanaugh's credit card and loan debt which stood at $60,000 and $200,000 before he was appointed by Donald Trump. There's shady and then there's shady.
The bill, entitled the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act, would require justices to submit to a code of conduct and create a robust and transparent process for the public to submit ethic complaints against justices.
Crucially, the bill would require the Supreme Court to adopt rigorous disclosure rules for gifts, travel, and income meaning the gravy train would finally be over for these crooks.
Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham have said that Democrats want to "destroy" the Supreme Court which really just gives the MAGA game away. If they oppose ethical standards for the court it's because they value it as an unethical institution.

Dear Republicans,
Would you please just stop with your “abortion tourism/vacation abortion” bullshit.
No woman on the planet wakes up in the morning hoping she will need to have an abortion.
You have made it so that women in states like Texas and Alabama have no choice but to TRAVEL to seek reproductive care.
It’s not a fucking vacation. No doctor in Oregon is waiting for a woman stationed at Ft. Hood with a Piña colada and motherfucking lei because she had to take time off from work & spend money she didn’t have to travel thousands of miles for a medical procedure she used to have a legal right to in her own state.
And since you’re the same gaslighting twats who called January 6th a “tourist visit”, when it obviously was not, maybe you should spend less time banning books and more time reading them, particularly the dictionary, because clearly your understanding of basic vocabulary f’ng sucks.
Dad died when I was 12. Mom struggled. We received dad’s social security survivor benefits. They helped make ends meet… barely. But just a few years later, Reagan happened.
In 1981, to pay for his massive tax cuts for the rich, he cut social security benefits while increasing payroll taxes on working people. But it wasn’t just me and mom. Millions were hurt.
He swept over 300,000 people off disability rolls. Tens of thousands died or committed suicide. He promised that benefits from cutting taxes on those that didn’t need it would “trickle down” only to see deficits skyrocket, which Republicans use to blame Democrats and as an excuse to cut programs that helped the vulnerable.
But that was the plan. “Starve the Beast” they said.
Republicans continue to fight to cut Social Security, Medicare, public education, head start, food stamps, and other programs average working Americans need.
Cruelty is always @GOP’s point. Profits over people. Party over country.
Ron DeSantis’ press secretary, who gets paid six figures by taxpayers to tweet misinformation all day, is cheering LGBTQ parents leaving Florida. These people are hateful bigots and they aren’t even trying to hide it.
EDITORIAL: “Ever since @BenSasse, a former Republican U.S. senator from Nebraska, took office, there’s been a president-sized hole left in much of the UF community.
Whatever the president’s agenda, we can’t report on it clearly if he won’t talk to us.”

Tennessee Republicans killed bills to tell eligible high school students how to register to vote and to study the use of college IDs to vote.
What’s worse is they did it with secret voice votes and moved TV cameras away from lawmakers so the public couldn’t see how they voted.
