Trump openly admitting if we made voting easier in America, Republicans wouldn't win elections

Trump: "The things they had in there were crazy. They had levels of voting, that if you ever agreed to it you'd never have a Republican elected in this country again."

Dem senators were trying to get Americans affordable health care.

Republican senators were trying to extort money from taxpayers so they could get $500k payouts.

The two parties are not the same.

[Roger Parloff @rparloff]

Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at.

Fox host Trey Gowdy: "We're going to have to have a conversation of freedom versus protecting children. How many school shootings does it take before we're going to have a conversation about keeping firearms out of -- it's always a young white male, almost always."

[Noah VanDowe @noahvandowe]

Fox news guest says the solution to juvenile crime is letting teachers hit children again

"They took the paddle out of the school and everything collapsed. We have to get the paddle back"

Propaganda vs news

[Lis Power @LisPower1]

If true, this is fucking insane.

On what grounds can the FBI possibly get involved in this.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Senator John Cornyn of Texas said the FBI agreed to help find Democratic state lawmakers who left the state to block a redistricting vote. https://t.co/TOY7RKr7hY

ALSO ... McCONNELL gave a short speech saying “failure is not an option” and added: “I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they’ll get over it.”

Literally the first sentence in the video they’re responding to is Sen. Padilla identifying himself.

This whole DHS statement is a lie.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.

Mr. Padilla was told repeatedly to back away and did not comply with officers’ repeated commands. @SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.

Secretary Noem met with Senator Padilla after and held a 15 minute meeting.

Remarkable chart: CBO estimates the Trump tax bill would reduce "resources" of the poorest 10% of US households by about $1,600 per year, whereas those in the top 10% would see gains of about $12,000

Steve Doocy announces he's stepping back (a bit) at Fox & Friends

He'll still host 3 days a week, but not from New York -- he'll be spending more time with family, and will be based in Florida.

Honestly, happy for him, this man deserves a break from Brian Kilmeade

Fox News hasn't had time to report on the Q1 economic contraction

But they did have time to just do headline reads on:

- Karen Read murder trial
- Prince William stripping Meghan Markle/Prince Harry of royal titles after her becomes king
- Kelsey Grammar's Fox Nation special

Fox & Friends puts North Korean state media to shame

[Lis Power @LisPower1]

Fox host Brian Kilmeade to former co-worker and embattled SecDef Pete Hegseth: Is the deep state after you?

Kilmeade: "Do you think there's a lot of people that don't want you there and there's some type of deep state forces that want to make sure you don't stay there?"

[Lis Power @LisPower1]

Prior to interviewing Pete Hegseth, Fox host Brian Kilmeade dismisses sending friends & family attack plan details as just "part of a learning curve"

Will Cain, admitting he was wrong and Rep. Frost was right, basically: I make no apologies for being bad at my job

Cain: "I make no apologies, none, on not being able to know or recall that specific clip"

(The rest of this is smug, unintelligible nonsense)

[Lis Power @LisPower1]

Will Cain making a convincing run at 'dumbest host on Fox News' and that's no easy task
