Meiselas: What do you say to people who say while Governor Mills has been a great governor, she’s 77 years old, and we need younger leadership?

Mills: It’s a fair point… But I don’t think I could live with myself if I didn’t do everything I can to reverse what’s going on in Washington

Pardon me if I delay celebrating this vile cretin losing until those poor Sandy Hook families he victimized for cheap publicity see all of the cash. I don't trust him for a second.

I run a pay-whatever-you-can law practice. I'm proud of that. However, please do not say you will "pay" me by helping me find Jesus. I do not want to be Christian, and honestly it's a little bit weird. I'd rather do your case pro bono.

Greene’s efforts to distance herself from unpopular Trump initiatives give us a glimpse into what the post-Trump Republican party could look like. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-is-go...

What Is Going on Inside Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Brain?!

The Georgia congresswoman has been increasingly restless with Trump. What does it mean for MAGA’s future?

Q: Will you consider removing new restriction on Pentagon press?

TRUMP: I think he finds the press to be very disruptive in terms of world peace and maybe security for our nation. The press is very dishonest

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

You can understand this shutdown with 3 numbers.

15M — the number of people Republicans want to kick off health care

20M — the number of people Republicans want to 2x health premiums for

0 — the number of times Republicans have called the House back to reopen the government

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Many focusing on the hubristic blasphemy of “we’re saving God”—and fair enough—but also, Kaepernick?

All he did was exercise his 1A right to expression in a calm, quiet, unobtrusive way. And he last played Jan. 1, 2017!

How lacking in real problems that this was ever a grievance, let alone still.

A new think tank asks Democratic candidates to ignore pressure from the far left, take positions outside the “liberal box,” and be more “heterodox” in general. Will their approach be successful—or just further divide the party? Elaine Godfrey reports:

The New Think Tank Infuriating Progressives

It thinks Democrats can take a lesson from Donald Trump.
