Scumbag US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, secretly met at the US Embassy in Jerusalem in July with Jonathan Pollard, an American who spent 30 yrs in prison for selling American secrets to Israel.

Karoline Leavitt said the White House was unaware of the meeting.

If Donald Trump can dismiss the murder and dismemberment of an American journalist by saying "things happen. that guy was very controversial and a lot of people didn't like him." Then I should be able to say the same thing about that piece of shit Charlie Kirk.

Rep Chrissy Houlahan also forcefully points out that virtually no Republicans have condemned Trump's call for Democrats' execution. How is that not a bigger story?

I also asked her if Dems should file impeachment articles. Here's the key exchange on all this:

Here you have Sec Lutnick as Commerce Secretary and his oldest son, Kyle Lutnick, involved in exactly the same AI data center deal. Dad as government official. Son as financial deal maker--earning the family-controlled company millions in fees. Both this summer.

I think what the American people want from the House of Representatives after they come back from a two-month paid vacation is for them to file, argue and vote on a bunch of censure motions against each other. We really appreciate you guys working so hard for us.

An Oregon couple saw their health insurance jump from $443 to $2,224/month—a 500% spike for the same plan. They flew to D.C. to tell senators what that means for real families.

We must keep ACA tax credits in place while they fix this. Families shouldn’t be one letter away from losing coverage.

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.
