This is probably the worst way this could've gone for the GOP leadership in Congress. Mike Johnson is exposed as someone who can't control his caucus, while John Thune will likely have to bury this after it makes its way to the Senate.

Awww look at the cute chaos gremlin 😍
This is Radley. She asks to "destroy" when she needs to let out extra energy. "She gets plenty of walks and physical activity," her family told us, "but she uses her destroy button when she is craving a little extra chaos." 13/10 (IG: radley_barkley)

If you get your groceries anywhere other than Walmart, Trump and his cronies have ensured you're paying a higher price for your Lays, Gatorade, and Pepsi
1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

This summer, Oregon became one of just a few states to pass a law requiring data centers to foot the costs of growing energy and transmission infrastructure that’s needed to power them. But months later, PGE developed a plan that shows it could be trying to find a work-around.
Utility watchdogs accuse PGE of skirting new law meant to make data centers pay for rising demand
The company doesn’t plan to simply assign the costs of energy investments needed to support data centers, to data centers, but to focus on all drivers of “peak demand.”
