Together again, fighting crime, tonight at nine.

I have not heard "bipartisan" from McConnell very much. Mostly from Manchin.

Catfight!

This fuckin' guy. I don't know how anybody can listen to him with a straight face. Years of training is helpful, but if you're a practiced purveyor of addlepated nonsense yourself it's a breeze, I suppose.

'Stephen Miller Loses It Over Kamala Harris Maybe Helping Poors'

Former White House adviser Stephen Miller suggested on Sunday that Democrats are engaged in a worldwide conspiracy to raise the living standard to "middle class" for all people.

During an appearance on Fox News, Miller argued that Vice President Kamala Harris visited the southern border recently because former President Donald Trump has also threatened to go there.

"It is the only reason that she went to the border," he insisted to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.

"And let me make one other brief point," Miller continued. "We keep talking about root causes [of illegal immigration]. There is almost 8 billion people in this world -- almost 8 billion people in this world. Many of those people would economically benefit as individuals from coming to the United States."

"What are we going to do?" he asked. "We're going to turn the entire world into a thriving middle class so nobody stands to benefit from coming to the United States, nobody stands to benefit from getting free American welfare, free American taxpayer dollars, free American education, free American health care?"

Miller called his imagined conspiracy theory "an insane concept."

Republicans have a two prong attack on Pelosi committee:

1 Marjorie Taylor Greene wants a seat on Pelosi's January 6 committee even as she spreads baseless claims

2 they will want to scrap this smaller task force as it comes up for vote

Republicans lose:
(CNN)The House voted Wednesday to create a new select committee that will investigate the deadly January 6 attack on the US Capitol, in a vote falling mostly along party lines that signals the political fight to come over the panel's examination of the January 6 Capitol insurrection.

The House voted 222-190 to formally create the select panel. Just two Republicans joined with Democrats to support its formation -- Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.

Washington lawmaker wears yellow Star of David, evoking Nazi persecution, to protest COVID vaccine mandates

A Washington state lawmaker critical of COVID-19 vaccine mandates wore a yellow Star of David at a speech over the weekend — a symbol the Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust.

State Rep. Jim Walsh, R-Aberdeen, had the star affixed to his pink shirt during a speech to conservative activists at a Lacey church basketball gym on Saturday.

“It’s an echo from history,” Walsh wrote on a Facebook page where a video of the event was posted. “In the current context, we’re all Jews.”

Yeah, because the chance of not being able to go to a sporting event because you're not vaccinated is just as bad as being turned into soap...

Boebert has made a name for herself as one of the most vocally anti-LGBTQ members of Congress and for her apparent inability to think before she speaks. Earlier this month she showed that she doesn’t know what pronouns are, and she made headlines this week for her “unbelievably ignorant” thoughts on COVID-19.

But what she lacks in knowledge, she more than makes up for in confidence.

“Jen ‘Circle-Back’ Psaki says she has a hard time keeping up with Biden,” Boebert tweeted. “Maybe she also needs a cognitive test.”

Her tweet makes less sense in context. Boebert was referring to a quote from a month ago where Psaki was talking about President Joe Biden’s physical fitness. A journalist asked her about Biden’s “private exercise regime,” and Psaki said that “sometimes he’s hard to keep up with.”

The responses to Boebert’s insult were not supportive of her. Commenters brought up how she got her GED just a month before her primary last year, about 16 years after she dropped out of high school.
