VIDEO OF THE DAY: Marjorie Taylor Greene humiliated by FBI director during live hearing
Like a moth to a flame, the MAGA congresswoman from Georgia simply could not resist yet another opportunity to put her stunning stupidity on full public display. FBI Director Christopher Wray had to interrupt Greene in the middle of a sanctimonious, prop-laden tirade and remind her what department he runs and explain that just because she posts something on Twitter doesn’t mean senior officials, ya know, running the frickin' federal government have seen it. This can’t be what the people of Georgia's 14th District had in mind when they sent her to Washington, right? [RETWEET THAT!]

Winning an open Arizona seat will take back the House
Yassamin Ansari for Congress: Winning in Arizona means we get our majority back — and losing means that some of the most unhinged election-denying, democracy-hating Trumpers in the country will be headed to Washington. Yassamin Ansari is a fantastic candidate running for Congress in a crucial Arizona seat to make sure we deliver President Biden a new majority for his second term! Can you chip in to help keep Trump's most radical minions out of office?
Hunter Biden files motion to subpoena Trump and Bill Barr
In a sign that Hunter Biden is finally fighting fire with fire, his defense team filed a motion to subpoena the disgraced ex-president and his former hatchet man to question the origins of the federal investigation into Hunter during Trump's time in office. Biden's attorneys claim "that President Trump improperly and unrelentingly pressured DOJ to pursue an investigation and prosecution of Mr. Biden to advance President Trump's partisan ambitions." That certainly is one explanation for why Trump and Barr spent so much time obsessing over a laptop dick pic.

Elon Musk slammed for bigoted antisemitic tweet
If there was ever any real debate over whether noted Twitter destroyer and car exploder Elon Musk was actually in favor of free speech or just a proponent of unfettered hate, enter exhibit FFS. Yesterday, to his 163 million followers, the radical right-wing tech bozo boosted a tweet accusing Jews of "dialectical hatred against whites" and declared it "the truth." Musk seems not to have not gotten the memo that hateful bigotry is supposed to be cloaked in polite society, but it’s a great reminder that these so-called “free speech absolutists” are a danger to the public, and it’s within our First Amendment rights to shut them down at every turn.

GOP congressman offers brutal assessment of his party
It’s not often we agree with someone as loathsome as Republican Rep. Chip Roy, but today is such an occasion. Shouting on the record from the House floor for all the country to hear, Roy begged his GOP colleagues to name "just one thing" they accomplished since seizing the House majority in 2022 that he could go home and campaign on in 2024. Spoiler alert: they could not.

Biden hails summit with Chinese president as multiple agreements reached
While expectations for the bilateral summit between the world’s two most important economic powers were low, Presidents Biden and Xi appear to have exceeded them. Major issues dividing the two nations — Taiwan’s security, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and a myriad of trade disputes — still remain, but the two heads of state agreed to work together to curb fentanyl production and resume high-level military talks that had been abandoned during the Trump presidency.
Ukrainian prosecutors link Russian operatives to Trump
After years of incessantly calling the FBI’s investigation into Russia's election interference on his behalf a hoax and "the greatest witch hunt in history," the disgraced ex-president has some 'splainin' to do. Prosecutors in Ukraine alleged in court Wednesday that corrupt oligarchs who helped Trump and Rudy Giuliani dig up dirt on Hunter Biden in the run-up to the 2020 election were actually on the Kremlin’s payroll all along. Russia-Russia-Russia, indeed!
