Risk Contained

Democrats went with the old guy with experience over AOC to lead them in the House Oversight Committee after Jamie Raskin went to Judiciary. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had been Vice Ranking Member, or Raskin's #2. Some Democrats aren't happy about this, but it's more or less how things in Washington work.

Fox's Jesse Watters with some gag-inducing praise of "handsome" Trump while singing the praises of the billionaire tech-bros lined up to donate to Trump's inaugural fund this week. After first having a good laugh over Trump tricking Mark Zuckerberg into standing with his hand over his heart at Mar-a-Lago while the "January 6th Choir" sang their version of the national anthem, Watters proceeded to laud all of the billionaires and tech-bros coming down to kiss Trump's ring and bribe him by donating to his inaugural fund, while pretending the Trump can't be bribed. WATTERS: Trump is so unique.

Rep. Comer is an actual Chairman of an important House Committee, yet he revels in rumors and conspiracies. The Newsmax host is seriously revved up by the drones. SALCEDO: We are more than a month into this security crisis, the national security crisis, and the biggest obstacle to answers is the America-last-infested government. Look, first off, have you been briefed on these drones, and there are people out there floating the idea that because we've had complete incompetent boobs in charge of the United States for the last four years, open borders, that a nuclear device has been allowed to infiltrate the United States, and that's what these drones are searching for. They are searching for a rogue nuke or something that could be detonated in an American city to do mass damage, mass casualties.

Republicans released a report Tuesday proving that they're gunning for former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney for having the audacity to hold Donald accountable for his crimes. As we noted earlier this month, President Biden's senior aides have been discussing preemptive pardons for those that Donald considers his political enemies. This would be a good time to do that. A new GOP report claims to have reviewed the “failures and politicization” of the now-disbanded House Jan.

Rep. Nancy Mace is doing her best to enter the MAGA hall of shame. The anti-trans bathroom lunatic joined Outkick and made these un-astute observations about the newest conspiracy floating in the sky. MACE: So my concern is if it's not craft from outer space, because I think that has to be on the table, it has to be an option. Is it our technology or is it Russia or Iran or China? Is there someone who's winning the arms race and are we behind?

In case you need any more reasons to never buy a Tesla, Bloomberg and The New York Times have a few. From Bloomberg: Elon Musk’s charitable foundation ballooned to $9.5 billion in assets last year while handing out $237 million in gifts, most of which went to other entities controlled by the world’s richest person. The figures are part of the Musk Foundation’s latest tax filing, obtained Thursday by Bloomberg News.
