Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gets a Community Note on his post screeching about the WPS Act and trying to blame Biden for a bill that Donald Trump signed in 2017.

Johnson: "Do not believe the lies the Democrat Party has said. We had their ads taken down. They were running ads around the country in swing districts trying to convince people Republicans are going to 'gut Medicaid.' It's just simply not true & that's why their ads & billboards had to come down"

What she failed to mention is that this was 4 years ago and was only available on Amazon's Chinese site(s), so how does that have anything to do with current tariffs for US consumers? Am I missing something?

It's infuriating that republicans Kristi Noem, Rep. Jason Smith and Rep. Riley Moore were allowed to have PHOTO OPS in CECOT, but Sen. Van Hollen was denied access for a legitimate welfare check!
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers.
I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

If you’re anxious about using your voice, then you’re probably in the wrong party, Lisa.

Absolutely disgusting: “Autism destroys families, but more importantly it destroys our greatest resource which is our children,” he said. “And these are kids who will never pay taxes, they'll never hold a job, they'll never play baseball, they'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.”

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.
