Rep. congressperson Virginia Foxx quote RTing Sen Mazie Hirono, who tweeted that republicans are lying. Foxx’s post reads: Congratulations on the ratio - you’ve earned it. By the way, you voted to shut down the government.

Lawrence Hurley @lawrencehurley.bsky.social · 3d

Alex Jones has asked the Supreme Court to immediately put his almost $1.5 billion defamation judgment on hold, citing the imminent threat of InfoWars being handed over to The Onion.
