Marjorie Taylor Greene says January 6 rioters would've been armed, insurrection would've succeeded if she'd organized it
Far-right influencers, white nationalists, neo-fascist activists, and extremist European figures mingled with Republican members of Congress and allies of Donald Trump at a black-tie gala hosted by New York Young Republicans Club over the weekend, where the club's president declared "total war" on the political left in a very normal, not deeply troubling speech calling for further political violence. QAnon Rep. Greene, not to be outdone, assured the crowd of gathered knuckle draggers that the Jan. 6 insurrection would have totally succeeded if she'd led it, because the rioters would've been armed and properly organized to, ya know, overthrow the American government.

White House ready to bargain over expanded Child Tax Credit
The Biden White House has privately signaled to Democrats that it would support a compromise deal to revive an expanded Child Tax Credit, even if it includes work requirements it once opposed. President Biden oversaw a sweeping enhancement of the Child Tax Credit during his first months in office, delivering up to $3,600 to parents — including to households previously ineligible because they had no income. The infusion drove a historic drop in child poverty, cutting the national rate by nearly half, and infuriating Republicans adamantly opposed to lifting a finger to help the systemically underprivileged and chronically underserved.

Elon Musk relaunches Twitter Blue with higher price for iPhone users
The tech bozo billionaire's first attempt to include the blue checkmarks as part of the subscription program unleashed widespread — and hilarious — havoc, as many users took advantage of the ability to purchase a "verification" and flooded the site with fake accounts. The chaos forced the social network to put the service on pause after just two days.
