Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.
The Pennsylvania senator appeared on Stewart’s weekly podcast in one of the most in-depth and toughest interviews he’s faced in recent memory.
Jon Stewart presses John Fetterman on Israel and playing into ‘Republican caricatures’ when he attacks Democrats
inquirer.com
Republicans have to believe that either Max Miller is lying and despicable or Bernie Moreno is lying and despicable. It’s a binary choice based on what they both said today. Both cannot be telling the truth. The senator is making false accusations or the congressman is an abuser.
First clip I’ve seen where it’s clear HE is the one imposing an Israel position on US. I never agreed to support any country unconditionally regardless of their crimes and whether they hold up their end of the relationship, yet that is what Fetterman tries to require of Democrats on Israel.

THE $168 BILLION WAS TAKEN ILLEGALLY AND THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE IT BACK. Kill me I’ve wasted my life.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”
Where are Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi?!

This New York Times article, which ran a week before Christmas last year, didn’t get the attention it deserved. It detailed Trump and Epstein's predatory behavior toward women – “a game of ego and dominance” in which “female bodies were currency.” Here’s a gift link and a thread. 1/6🧵

Woke up feeling refreshed today. The first day of a new month –– August, at that ––is a beautiful time to officially free myself from the tyranny of the Pittsburgh baseball club. I will not be watching games this month and will transition to a more elevated form of fandom: not caring

If someone cornered you at a cocktail party and said something like this, you wouldn't just try to get away from them. You'd bounce from the whole event because wtf. But elected Republicans get up every day and say unhinged stuff like this in Congress and I honestly do not know how to unfuck this.

When I say we get shit done in Pennsylvania, this is exactly what I mean. Thank you to Secretary Carroll and his incredible team at PennDOT for working around the clock to get this bridge rebuilt and Parkway East re-open in just 17 days — a full week ahead of schedule.
House Speaker Mike Johnson says he grows more confident "with each passing day" that the GOP will retain control of Congress. Why? "This is a God thing. We have intercessory prayers who are on the ground at the Capitol praying."
For decades, the federal government has funneled big-ticket grants to local communities to help them expand public transit. But since President Trump took office, the Federal Transit Administration has not signed a single new agreement.
Congress Budgeted Billions for Big Transit Projects. Trump Isn’t Spending It.
“It’s hard to look at the last year and see anything other than a deliberate slowdown of these grants.”
