Marjorie Taylor Greene is pushing an amendment to an appropriations bill in the House that would "defund" the entire state of New York. Not to be outdone, Jim Jordan is trying to one-up Greene by attaching an amendment that would defund the FBI, the DOJ, Jack Smith, Fani Willis, and Alvin Bragg. These Republicans have done nothing but run interference for Donald Trump since they retook the House in 2022, and their latest efforts to sabotage a must-pass bill are just further proof of that.
Also, Republican Congressman John Rose gave the most memorial speech in recent history on the House floor on Monday. But the speech won't be remembered for what he said - it will be remembered because his 6-year old son was behind him the whole time making funny faces for the cameras. This is probably the best thing that could happen to Rose, as it drew attention away from the idiotic things he was saying in the speech.
And the Court of Appeals for the state of Georgia has just given Donald Trump the biggest gift imaginable. The court has agreed to hear Trump's appeal to a lower court's decision to NOT remove Fani Willis from the case, but they set the hearing for October of this year - four months down the road. This means that there is no way that Willis can possibly get to trial before the election. But that's not the only problem. Willis is also up for reelection, so delaying the trial until after HER election could mean that the case gets tossed altogether.
Finally, Donald Trump's interview with Fox & Friends that aired over the weekend was apparently heavily edited, based on some very sloppy cuts and weird audio transitions that occurred during the segment. This didn't go unnoticed by video editors on the internet, and they were quick to point out that things like this aren't normal. It is possible that Trump went so completely off the rails that Fox had to edit the interview to make him sound less crazy.
