Cheesemakers on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border say the trade war between the two countries has raised costs, killed sales and caused a stink among friends. https://t.co/DfpwVlPeHw

Hakeem Jeffries says he wants to bring back DACA recipients who have been deported and pay them damages: "We need to provide remedial assistance to them."

[Matt Cover @MattCover]

They clearly aren't. What are we doing here?

[AF Post @AFpost]

Shortly after the GOP was defeated in a landslide over the cost of living, incoming Republican House Leader Jim Jordan said that Americans would be okay with higher gas prices to finish off Iran.

@ConceptualJames Lighten up, Francis. Levin's AOL post is peak Booomer and it's getting dunked on. That doesn't make anyone a Nazi.

[Justin Hart @justin_hart]

Senate Republicans lost the majority and kept every leader. House Republicans lost the majority and picked a new one.

Guess which chamber was listening.

@JonSchweppe @AmAscent_ @RyanMNeuhaus Some people just want to stand there and yell at history.

But you don't preserve what's essential about America by shouting at history, and you certainly don't restore by yelling either.

Affordability.

Insane exchange. Newly elected Democrat Adam Hamawy refuses to call Iran an adversary.

BROWN: Do you see Iran as the adversary?

HAMAWY: "We pushed them into a fight"

BROWN: But are they the adversary?

HAMAWY: "We should be making friends"

BROWN: They've been saying "death to America" for decades

HAMAWY: "We've been saying 'death to Iran'"

BROWN: They've killed a lot of Americans

HAMAWY: "And we've killed a lot of them"

BROWN: So you don't see Iran as an adversary?

HAMAWY: "I see that we are pushing Iran into a fight"

@turbodsm Yes he is a political appointee. That's how our system works. Cabinet Secretaries are all political.

[Matt Cover @MattCover]

Yeah, way to prove Hegseth wrong about that whole "getting rid of the partisan activists" thing.

[VoteVets @votevets]

When Pete Hegseth fired Vice Admiral Nancy LaCore after 35 years of service, he thought he was ending her career. Instead, he opened a door, and thanks to his recklessness, LaCore is headed to Congress to hold him accountable.

@Panzenbeck It's like they're a bunch of consequentialist weirdos or something.....

[Matt Cover @MattCover]

@sandboxer123 You understand the difference between a political appointee and someone who is not a political appointee, right?

[Matt Cover @MattCover]

Yes, heaven forbid the kids be in good shape.

California has passed a law requiring age verification to buy creatine starting January 1, 2027

@GrantPaulsen Idk. You can't just constantly start over/rebuild. You eventually have to build.

And to build you need talented players. Trading them for draft pick bets is risky.

It's not fantasy. Teams have to gel and develop an identity.

[Matt Cover @MattCover]

This so dumb. Jayden is not the one calling these plays.

If the offense is "short-circuiting" that fault lies with OC David Blough.

[106.7 The Fan @1067theFan]

Washington’s offense is short-circuiting in critical moments, and critics wonder if Jayden Daniels is following the playbook a little too closely.

[Nancy Mace @NancyMace]

Vote on Hegseth impeachment is at 5:30pm today - I will not be voting to impeach.

The Iran war is through no fault of his own and he should not be the one scapegoated for it.

I fully support the changes Hegseth has made to the DoW to make our fighting force the very best it can be.

[Matt Cover @MattCover]

Ah the "violating our democratic norms is bad" pendulum has swung the other way, I see.

I wonder what could have changed....

[Chris Cillizza @ChrisCillizza]

Democratic gains in the 2026 election mean that the party now has a path to getting rid of the electoral college ahead of 2028.

Should they do it?

Did republicans WANT to lose the election?

[Matt Cover @MattCover]

I mean, he *did* just vote to turn Texas blue so I guess this is correct?

[Robby Soave @robbysoave]

Karl Rove never lost Texas though
