Comment on Obama made last-minute decision on Syria approval

On Fox News, House Speaker Mike Johnson followed President-elect Demented Donald's lead in blaming undocumented migrants and open borders for the terror attack and carnage in New Orleans. Investigators are instead pointing to forty-two-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a U. S.-born citizen and Army veteran who allegedly had "trouble adjusting to civilian life." For Trump and the MAGA GOP, it seems there is never a bad time to blame migrants for things they haven't done.

The staff of Mother Jones is, once again, rounding up the heroes and monsters of the past year. Importantly, this is a completely non-exhaustive and subjective list, giving our reporters a chance to write about something that brought joy or discontent. Enjoy. Congratulations on your part-time job! Please report to the nearest grocery store, scan your weekly essentials, move them to the doll-sized bagging area, and prepare to be gaslit by the robot voice insisting that you better place that item in the bagging area. Just to be clear, I already did. At some point in the process, you likely will need to call in reinforcements from a fellow grocery worker—the one with an actual badge.

Republican Congressman from New York, Nick Langworthy, claims House Republicans aren't subjected to an authoritarian leadership like they had under Nancy Pelosi's purview. We don't know whether to laugh or cry. And I may be mistaken, but, Speaker Pelosi was not in charge of House Republicans. And it's the incredibly WEAK "leadership" from Mike Johnson that has President Elon Musk thinking he can run the House of Representatives by threatening to fund primary challenges against those who do not obey HIM.

Just after a U. S. army veteran from Texas intentionally drove a white pickup truck with an ISIS flag into a New Year’s crowd in the Bourbon Street area of New Orleans early New Year's Day, killing at least 15 people and injuring at least 35 others, the Republican Governor, Jeff Landry, posted a photo of himself with friends in front of a fancy pants restaurant in the area where a New York strip steak costs $64.00, and crab cakes cost $49.00. We're glad you're eating well, you fucking Yahoo, after Americans were just murdered on the streets in New Orleans.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced his bid to be the state’s next governor Thursday, becoming the first Democrat to enter what will likely be a crowded 2026 primary field. “There’s critical work ahead. I want to help do it — I want to help Colorado, I believe in Colorado, I want to serve the people of Colorado,” Weiser told The Denver Post shortly after announcing his candidacy in a morning news release. Weiser’s early jump allows him to begin raising money immediately, even though the June 2026 Democratic primary is still nearly 18 months away.

One day after the domestic terror attack at Trump’s Las Vegas hotel, some of the MSM — but not yet the FBI — have identified the alleged bomber.
