AlterNet Crooks and Liars Daily Kos (Note: these articles are from RSS News Feeds websites, and are deleted after 30 days, January 3, 2025 at 12:34 PM EST Newsmax host Rob Finnerty omitted the part where Republicans cannot govern at all . And the fight for Mike Johnson to keep his role as speaker of the House is already a shitshow even before Congress meets at noon today. Finnerty is not a fan of Johnson's. "We've seen Johnson send money to Ukraine, authorize spying on Americans, and blow the budget," he said, Media Matters reports. "So it is clear that Johnson has got some work to do over the next day. But it's also worth noting that Republicans in the House also have a lot of work to do because Republicans are really bad at being speaker of the House." January 3, 2025 at 10:58 AM EST District Judge Lewis Liman refused Rudy Giuliani's request to not appear for Friday's defamation case hearings for supposed "medical reasons" stemming from... wait for it... the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. A noun, a verb, 9/11? Really, Rudy? January 3, 2025 at 10:46 AM EST The often befuddled Chairman of the House Oversight Committee was very upset that Biden awarded Liz Cheney the Presidential Citizens Medal. This award for Cheney's diligence in uncovering the truth abiout the attack on the US Capitol has inflamed the entire MAGA cult. January 3, 2025 at 10:28 AM EST It's almost as if "pro-life" Republicans use that label as cover for pro-death policies. The latest case in point is the state of Texas repealing requirements for safety inspections for noncommercial vehicles, as of Jan. 1. The fee remains part of a vehicle's registration cost, though. Texas roads have not become so safe that there's no need for laws to make them less perilous. In reality, the state's roads are "notoriously dangerous," The Texas Tribune reports. "At least one person dies on a Texas road each day. According to the most recent state data, 4,283 people were killed in auto crashes in Texas during 2023. Based on the reported crashes in 2023, one person was killed on a Texas roadway about every two hours." January 3, 2025 at 10:28 AM EST Ahead of the house meeting at noon today to hold its election for speaker, Mike Johnson sent a disturbing but transparent message on Xitter, showing how badly he wants to hold on to his gavel. Johnson feigned outrage over President Biden, who honored Liz Cheney and Bennie Johnson with the Presidential Citizens Medal for their "common decency." So, of course, Johnson vows to investigate the Jan. 6th investigators. That sniveling little shit took gaslighting to a whole different level. January 3, 2025 at 6:54 AM EST The active-duty Green Beret who was driving a Tesla cybertruck that blew up outside the Trump hotel in Las Vegas "was a 100 percent patriot," his uncle said Thursday. Via The Independent: Matthew Livelsberger, 37, was "like a Rambo-type, for lack of a better word," Dean Livelsberger told The Independent. January 3, 2025 at 6:32 AM EST A federal appeals court struck down the FCC's landmark net neutrality rules yesterday, ending a nearly two-decade effort to regulate broadband internet providers like utilities. If they're not utilities, what the hell are they? I just keep thinking how shocked and surprised they'll be: if and when the next CEO hits the ground, the question "Why do they HATE us?" can be answered with a printout of THIS ruling. Via the New York Times: January 2, 2025 at 9:52 PM EST Alex Jones guest host Chase Geiser claimed the latest terror attacks allegedly done by two former US military men were caused by the CIA's long defunct MKUltra program. MK-ULTRA was a dark period in the history of the CIA, when they conducted secret experiments on Americans using LSD and other drugs to perfect mind control to be used as a weapon against our enemies in the 1950s and 60s. January 2, 2025 at 9:00 PM EST Axios' morning email thingie alerts us that about half of the states are increasing minimum wage: The 21 states are Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. Oregon and Florida will raise their minimum wage later in 2025. Millions of workers are getting a raise on Wednesday, when the minimum wage is set to rise across 21 states, and 48 cities and counties, Axios’ Emily Peck writes. January 2, 2025 at 8:01 PM EST Today it was announced that Pres. Biden will award the former Vice Chairwoman of a Committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection Liz Cheney, with the Presidential Citizens Medal, which is one of the nations highest civilian honors. The recipients the president selected to be honored in his last medal ceremony have "performed exemplary deeds of service for their country or their fellow citizens," the White House said in a statement on Thursday. -- The selection of Ms. Cheney, a Wyoming Republican whose vocal opposition to Donald J. Trump cost her her political career, was a continuation of his push for bipartisanship and decency in politics at a time when Ms. Cheney's own party has turned against her. January 2, 2025 at 7:00 PM EST Rep. Tim Burchett told Fox News that he likes Mike Johnson as a Christian man and finds him very appealing for not cheating on his wife. If anything, this is a humiliating stamp of approval for the Speaker. The idea that Mike Johnson doesn't cheat on his wife has become a valid issue to determine if he's qualified to be the Speaker by Republicans shine's a light on Trump's sexual proclivities as well as many of Trump's cabinet nominations who have faced criminal sexual behaviors including Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth. |
