Huh — Marjorie Taylor Greene says she doesn't want "to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms. And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he…tried to destroy me."
…Any reason she assumes Trump will soon be impeached?

I know this is not the point of this clip, but men on TV: Listen to me. You don't have to do this. You don't have to sound like Jim Cramer or like you're hoping someone will nickname you "Mad Dog." Just talk like a normal person.
Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

We're getting down to "Well, he doesn't wear the uniform or have a weird little mustache" as one of the last remaining explanations of how JD Vance is not an actual Nazi.

Republicans have shut down the govt for 40 days because they refuse to lower health care costs.
Their proposal keeps deep Medicaid cuts and lets ACA subsidies expire.
That means higher bills and lost coverage for my constituents. Cleveland can’t afford these cuts.
