A Pop Culture Guide For The Eclipse, From Bugs Bunny To The Simpsons To Little Shop Of Horrors

Well of course it's a "playbook" on the Right. A playbook based on a "massive disinformation engine." AYMAN MOHYELDIN (HOST): And so to that point, I was going to say, let me, Angelo, get your thoughts on this because, you know, you've got Fox, not just Fox hosts Jesse Watters, you've got other Republican leaders directing the blame, spreading conspiracy theories.

Oklahoma State Senator Lisa Standridge (R-Norman) has only been in office for two months, but she's already introduced legislation that aligns with her party's cruelty. Standridge wants to make it illegal for all cities in the state, except Oklahoma City and Tulsa, to provide shelters or outreach for homeless citizens and require them to end any existing programs immediately.

Sen. John Barrasso told CBS's Face The Nation that Republicans would put 'strings' on all monies they appropriate to help the victims of the Pacific Palisades wildfires. Barrasso followed the MAGA model of attacking all Democratic politicians (with no proof) as well as any LAFD chief or firefighter who isn't a white male.

The Philadelphia Inquirer asks: Has Sen. John Fetterman gone MAGA? Or is Pennsylvania’s now-senior senator just trying to stay in power? Via the Inquirer: Either way, Fetterman’s pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago this weekend is just the latest attempt to cozy up to Donald Trump. His conversion is even more head-spinning given his strong backing for President Joe Biden last summer when other Democrats were calling for him to step down as the nominee. But soon after the election, Fetterman voiced support for several of Trump’s cabinet nominees, including Sen.

MAGA Congressman Roger Marshall claims to be a medical doctor. An obstetrician, if you can believe him. As Republicans go on the offensive to justify their plans to cut Social Security and Medicare, "Doctor" Marshall claims he can only improve 10-20% of your healthcare needs anyway. The rest is YOUR FAULT. So, cutting health insurance for old and poor people only makes sense! REP ROGER MARSHALL: Look, about 70% of your health outcomes are determined by you. It's determined by what you eat and what you're surrounded by. By the time you come to my office as a doctor, I can impact maybe 10 or 20% of your health outcomes. As an obstetrician, give me a healthy mom was the most important thing you could do for a healthy outcome for the mom and the baby. So absolutely, and then we need to make these healthy foods affordable, available as well, and then try to eliminate and minimize the toxins that we're exposed to. Look, we're coming after ultra-processed foods. We think that they have a big problem and have a big challenge. Think about Alzheimer's. I think Alzheimer's is really type 3 diabetes in many ways as well. So there's huge opportunities ahead of us. The medical profession has been "thinking" about Alzheimer's, jackass.

The backlash has already started after JD Vance said this to Shannon Bream on this weekend's Fox News Sunday: The focus on President-elect Donald Trump's vow to pardon Jan. 6 protesters is sharpening, with his return to the White House just eight days away. Vice President-elect JD Vance — who, like Trump, has been critical of a justice system allegedly weaponized against the protesters — laid out how their offenses might be weighed when considering the pardons. "If you protested peacefully on January 6th, and you've had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned," Vance told Fox News' Shannon Bream during an exclusive one-on-one interview that aired Sunday. "If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned, and there's a little bit of a gray area there, but we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law.
