Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

So far this week, I’ve agreed with MTG, Laura Loomer, Matt Gaetz and Tucker Carlson. What is going on here?

Guess that Qatari jet wasn’t a “gift” to Trump after all.

Screenshot of tweets. Mike Madrid writes: “Joe Biden was criticized for a Chinese balloon flying over our airspace. They’re giving Qatar an entire f’ing air base.”
Below, Aaron Rupar’s tweet quotes Pete Hegseth saying on Fox News: “I’m also proud that today we’re signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho.”

Why does Kid Rock wear a hat with his name on it?

Because no one else will. 🫢🥁

You know the assignment 👍

It'd be a real shame if this photo of President Obama receiving his Nobel peace prize went viral today, for no particular reason

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Among the endless fire hose of news, there was an interesting nugget buried in Mayor Keith Wilson's statement today.

The city of Portland is considering taking over the lease of the ICE facility and the city said it has no intention of being ICE's landlord.

Portland weighs taking over lease at ICE facility

The ramifications of the city taking over the federal facility lease were not immediately clear Wednesday.

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.
