New in PN: UFC fighter's Michelle Obama smear reveals much about MAGA bigotry

"Trump did not disavow the remark. Instead, he appeared to smile. Given the depth of his submersion in right-wing derp, he probably knew what many others there did not: the grotesque slur did not come out of nowhere." https://t.co/H9Y1JrzJiy

CNBC's Joe Kernen absurdly claims to an agreeing Rand Paul that Fauci "orchestrated the pandemic"

Q: Are the contractors who did the initial work with the reflecting pool are they to blame for the current condition?

Trump: No, no, we had vandalism, vandals. We have 100, and we have a I think 290, 300 foot slit right through it. Probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind or we had people lifting up the basic. it’s not a lot of damage.

We’ll probably have to let the water out and re fix it. They went in there with a knife. I was just told by the people over at parks, they have five people are arrested and five people are under investigation right now. And it’s a sad thing.

In addition to that, they you know, we put brand new beautiful grass all around. They put these massive letters on the grass. You probably know about that, right? And they said 86, 47. They probably got that from the dirty cop Comey. You know, he’s a dirty cop, don’t you? Dirty cop. He’s a crooked guy. They destroyed the grass. So, that’s a big thing.

Both Greene and Massie have laid markers on this now.

Not sure how DOJ declines to release the files without Trump's call for probes looking like a deliberate ploy.

Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune and he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process -- if and when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty -- they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

Mike Johnson says he will continue working to cover up the Epstein files 👇

New in PN: Mike Johnson's Epstein bungling is a disaster for the GOP

"Observing Johnson has been like an extended Road Runner cartoon where the Coyote fashions intricate knots of congressional procedure to tie himself to a giant lit stick of dynamite.” https://t.co/O88Um87bHB

Pressed by Stephanopoulos on the fact that electricity prices have in fact gone up, Bessent punts: "Electricity prices are a state problem ... look, there are things the federal government can control. Local electricity prices are not one of them."

Hegseth: "We mean to increase acquisition risk in order to decrease operational risk. Let me say that again. We need to increase acquisition risk in order to decrease operational risk ... An 85% solution in the hands of our armed forces today is infinitely better than an unachievable 100% solution endlessly undergoing testing."

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that after campaigning on "affordability," trump doesn't give a shit about reducing costs. He thinks his lies about inflation are enough.

Trust your receipts.
I've got a few right here.

BREAKING: The Senate blocked a resolution 49–51 that would have forced Trump to get Congress’s approval for military action in Venezuela.

Only two Republicans joined Democrats: Rand Paul and Lisa Murkowski.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.

BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

How gracious of the king: "I spoke to Mayor Lurie last night and he asked, very nicely, that I give him a chance to see if he can turn it around ... Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday. Stay tuned!"

Hearing the Toronto Rangers were primed for a big year until the FBI started sniffing around...

Everyone knows the ballroom monstrosity he’s having built is nothing more than a testament to corruption, bribery central, the new headquarters of the old swamp.

Trump is destroying the White House. He's destroying America.

Disgusting.

Trump promised to import beef from Argentina. Now he’s attacking U.S. cattle ranchers saying they should be more grateful to him. Unbelievable.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

HuffPost asked why Pete Hegseth was wearing a tie that resembled the Russian flag.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell responded, “Your mom bought it for him.”

You lost your friends, your business, your dignity — and all you got was a $40 hat made in China. Watching the MAGA cult crack is my new favorite reality show.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Can’t pass a budget, but can pass a rigged map.

Can’t pay their teachers, but can do Trump’s bidding.

Can’t fund law enforcement, but can bend the knee to their Dear Leader.

What a disgusting display of party over country.
