This prick bought an ice cream machine with our money while kicking the poor, elderly and disabled off from healthcare and food assistance. Fuck these assholes

No, you sycophantic chode. He’s not stopping the threat, he’s encouraging an attack.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Define “of age”

WONG: Trump has said he won't sign anything until the SAVE America Act is sent to his desk. Is this the end of legislation for this cycle?

MIKE JOHNSON: No, it's not. As you know, if legislation is sent to the president's desk and he didn't sign it for 10 days it would become law automatically

Johnson: "We had a little hiccup with some Latino & Hispanic voters for certain, b/c some of the immigration enforcement was viewed to be overzealous. Everybody can describe it differently, but here's the good news: we're in a course-correction mode right now. We're gonna have a new DHS secretary."

Hegseth spent our money on what?

"We're not gonna be harassed by the New York Times who have put out a lot of articles on this" -- Leavitt sneers at the New York Times for reporting on what by all accounts seems to have been a US strike that killed scores of elementary school students in Iran

FOX: Do you run a risk of being on the wrong side of President Trump in your resistance to doing a talking filibuster?

THUNE: We don't have the votes

FOX: Does he understand that?

THUNE: Well, we conveyed that to him, but we'll continue to make that argument

Leavitt ticks through the new anti-trans provisions in the SAVE America Act without explaining why in the heck they're in a "voting bill" in the first place

Leavitt: "As far as married women who have changed their name, if they're already registered to vote, they're entirely unaffected by the SAVE Act. For the small fraction who have changed their name or address, they can still register to vote, they just have to go through their state processes"

FOX: What is your timeline for how long the war will last?

LEAVITT: Ultimately the operation will end when the commander in chief determines the military objectives have been met and Iran is in a position of complete and unconditional surrender, whether they say it or not

Leavitt confirms that the current "ballpark" total of US soldiers injured fighting Iran is 150

NBC: Trump said the new Ayatollah can;t 'live in peace.' Is the end of the war contingent on Iran selecting a leader Trump finds acceptable? Regime change?

LEAVITT: As Trump has blatantly stated, it's obviously within the best interests of US & West to no longer have a radical terrorist in charge

CBS: Trump said yesterday for the first time that he had to strike Iran because he thought Iran would strike the US within 7 days. Where is he getting that?

LEAVITT: This was a feeling the president had based on facts

Leavitt on removing Russian oil sanctions: "We don't believe it will provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government at this time"

Leavitt: "The president is not making anything up, Nancy"

Leavitt says the investigation into the strike on the Iranian school are ongoing and the DoD will eventually release a report

Leavitt: "The president has made it quite clear it's his belief, based on fact, that the Cuban regime is bound to fall. The people are crying out for help."

Leavitt: "Americans are going to start benefitting from the fruit of President Trump and Republicans' labor."

Q: Why did President Trump say yesterday that Iran may have Tomahawk missiles when there are only other 3 US allies that have them?

LEAVITT: The president said yesterday he will accept the conclusion of this investigation by the Dept of War

(Not an answer!)

RON JOHNSON: 650k people that are at large in America have committed crimes. Mr Bier, you're shaking your head

BIER: They're not at large. They're in prison. They're in prison where they should be

JOHNSON: They're not detained!

BIER: They're detained by the states. They're not detained by ICE

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

I would crumble and wither away if I didn't have access to my devices.

if i was Benny Johnson i would simply not bring up who is or isn't paying me to push agendas

MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?

BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

Mamdani: "Extremism and hatred of any kind will not be tolerated in our city. What we want to deliver to New Yorkers is a city that is safe."

"Do you want to want for the party that wants to return to transgender mutilation surgery for children? These are the choices" -- with the economy reeling, Mike Johnson is leaning hard back into culture war issues
