Does she not realize the new guys sit o the ends and must wait their turn? If she had complaints she should speak to her chair.
Did anyone address how many could have been killed/injured had they shot down the balloon over land? Damaged properties?

According to the information available he claims he is 34.
But he also claims in 2001, which would have made him 12 years old, he stepped away from his previous employment and started a business. And he did say that on the video.
I listened to the video and it’s the first time I’ve heard him give an answer. It was weird. Seriously weird.

He just referred to himself and the people who voted for him as “simple minded”. Now I don’t know what it means in New York but here in CA it’s not a very flattering description of an individual.

IMO the next two years are going to be nothing but manufactured chaos by the Republicans in Congress. They are not interested in doing anything for the American People and they are going to do their best to make sure the Democrats can’t either.
So when I see these hearings they are holding I want to punch the 🤡 s in the nose, but they are being so ridiculous that I end up laughing at them.

Not a stupid question. He's pushing back on the right wing media/ Republican narrative that we have open borders. He asked them if policies changed when Biden took office. And he pushed back on the narrative that immigrants are bringing fetanyl across the borders. Here's why his question is not only not stupid, he was actually using a good strategy to combat the Republican narrative of open borders. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/02/10/maxwell-frost-house-gop-hearings-twitter/During a Tuesday hearing on border security, Frost used his backbench seat on the Oversight Committee to get two border police officials to overturn the entire premise of the GOP argument on immigration, that Democrats want “open borders”:
Note the “Dick and Jane” quality here, as though Frost were asking these officials to explain these truths to a child. This highlights a key move: While Democrats sometimes respond to things like the “open borders” claim with high dudgeon, here the tone is one of mockery and contempt.
As media critic Jay Rosen notes, the sheer absurdity of these GOP hearings poses a challenge to our discourse: It’s hard to talk about them at all without lending them more validation than they merit.
If so, perhaps Frost’s approach offers an answer: Treat the hearings with the ridicule they deserve while marshaling the viral reach that this contempt facilitates to supplant bad information with good.

Seems Santos has company in the liar group . Or is it misinformation group... Another newly elected Republican House member has had doubt cast on her backstory after a deeply-reported Washington Post profile found several discrepancies.Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has described herself as a Hispanic conservative who grew up poor, survived a home invasion and lost her grandmother to HIV/AIDS due to heroin use. But those details have come as a surprise to family members and friends who knew her before she entered politics about five years ago, reported the Washington Post. She had everything, what she needed and more,” said her aunt Jolanta Mayerhofer, "and not only did [her mother] Monica provide for her, but my father-in-law did, too.” Luna grew up in Los Angeles and joined the U.S. Air Force in 2009, at age 19, the Post reported. Friends who knew her then, when she used her given last name of Mayerhofer, say she described herself variously as Middle Eastern, Jewish or Eastern European and supported then-president Barack Obama. She was a registered Democrat as recently as August 2017. “She would really change who she was based on what fit the situation best at the time,” former roommate Brittany Brooks, who lived with Luna for six months and was a close friend during her military service, said in the report. Luna graduated from the University of West Florida in 2017 with a degree in biology following a six-year stint in the Air Force, where she met her husband Andrew Gamberzky. After leaving the military she works as a model, a cocktail waitress at a gentleman’s club and an Instagram influencer. She was ushered into politics by Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk after making online statements about human trafficking and the Second Amendment, and she was named that conservative group's director of Hispanic engagement. She ran unsuccessfully for Congress against Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) in 2020. Luna started publicly embracing her Hispanic heritage around that time, and she changed her last name to Luna at age 29, the same year she updated her ethnicity on voter registration records to Hispanic after identifying herself as "White, not of Hispanic origin" in 2015, the Post reported. Luna started publicly embracing her Hispanic heritage around that time, and she changed her last name to Luna at age 29, the same year she updated her ethnicity on voter registration records to Hispanic after identifying herself as "White, not of Hispanic origin" in 2015, the Post reported. *** Luna has claimed her father raised her as a Messianic Jew, which her mother corroborated, but her extended family say Mayerhofer was Catholic and they had no recollection of him practicing any form of Judaism. www.rawstory.com/anna-luna-biography/

Just when you thought they couldn't go any lower.... If there's any potential upside to such demonic cruelty, it may be that a few who were rooting for it may finally be shamed & snap out of it. I may be dreaming that that's a possibility, but it would be nice to have a shake-out before "Judgment Day."

I didn’t read it but he died long before Biden ran for president? I don’t get it. I guess it’s more of the blame the other side of what you are guilty of. Timelines don’t matter it’s the sound bite that does.

I really don’t like this guy. There is something sinister about him.
He is equating a group of people standing in front of someone’s home holding signs and maybe chanting to a mob who attacked the Capital, injured many of the Capital police and built a gallows to use if they got their hands on Mike Pence & Nancy Pelosi.

The Republicans took control of the House in Janua4y and as predicted they are more interested in punishing their perceived enemies and protecting dumpster don than governing. This means very little will be done very little will be done to address the issues facing the American People.
Paul Waldman’s latest column in the Washington Post.
“Opinion How Republicans are wasting their House majority”
By Paul Waldman Columnist June 19, 2023 at 7:15 a.m. EDT
“Watching the antics of House Republicans right now, one can imagine an alternate universe in which they made good use of their control of the lower chamber. They would have devised a plan of action compelling in both substance and political strategy, one shrewdly designed to convince the American public that they have a thoughtful vision for governing that can lead the country to a brighter future.
Instead, Republicans are squandering their House majority on silly obsessions, weird conspiracy theories and embarrassing defenses of their party’s endlessly corrupt leader. If you’re a Democrat, this is great news. If you’re a Republican, you may be wondering why your party never seems to learn from its mistakes.
But that aside, ask yourself this: How, exactly, have Republicans used the House to seize control of the political agenda and make their case for one-party GOP rule after 2024? Let’s take a quick tour:
* After promising meaningful oversight of the Biden administration, they are consumed with a bizarre allegation that Biden was given a $5 million bribe by a foreign source. It appears that the story originates with Rudy Giuliani (which tells you how credible it is), and it was dismissed by the Justice Department under Donald Trump’s appointees.
* Their latest economic proposal is a deficit-ballooning tax cut that the White House is gleefully attacking as a giveaway to corporations and the wealthy.
* They’ve taken their obsession with gas stoves to a comical level, passing not one but two bills to prevent the federal government from regulating indoor pollution from stoves. Should that prove insufficient to safeguard this foundation of human liberty, they may move ahead with two more: The Stop Trying to Obsessively Vilify Energy (STOVE) Act and the Guarding America’s Stoves (GAS) Act, which are the actual names of real bills.
* Though they haven’t quite decided how best to sabotage the various criminal cases against Trump, they are certainly working on it. Look for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the shoutiest of all House Republicans, to lay siege to the Justice Department until it leaves the former president in peace.
Of course, other, more mundane activities take place in the House, ones that feature Republicans doing something resembling governing as opposed to merely seeking right-wing media plaudits. Hearings of the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry of the House Agriculture Committee haven’t featured desk-pounding denunciations of liberals for trying to produce a generation of woke transgender Holsteins, at least not yet.
But on the subjects that Republicans want the public to notice, they seem determined to highlight some of their greatest vulnerabilities. They are reinforcing their image as a bunch of conspiracy-minded far-right culture warriors who spin up ludicrous fake controversies while demonstrating yet again what toadies they are for a deeply unpopular and indicted ex-president.
What might they have done instead? The sensible playbook for a party’s control of a house of Congress would entail oversight that actually constrains the administration or uncovers meaningful wrongdoing. It would be designed to influence the news agenda to highlight the issues on which the party has an advantage, and clarify for the public how the party would improve people’s lives if given full control of government again.
It could even entail using leverage to forge bipartisan compromises. For instance, Republicans could work with Democrats to create real reform that would provide a long-term solution to the problems of our immigration system.
Republicans are doing none of that. They’re passing “messaging bills,” the message of which seems to be, “Have you ever wondered what an episode of ‘Hannity’ would look like in the form of legislation? Well, here you go.”
Three times in recent years — in the elections of 1994, 2010 and 2022 — Republicans have managed to take control of the House. In the previous two iterations, the result was an eruption of unbridled buffoonery and reckless radicalism, ultimately helping to contribute to the reelection of a Democratic president.
Today, all the incentives for Republicans point even more strongly toward a repeat of this pattern. The base they have to satisfy is even more radical. The conservative forces inside the House are even more reckless. The right-wing media is even more vigilant about striking down anyone who displays a hint of moderation or common sense. And looming over the whole mess is Donald Trump, who is still likely to be their presidential nominee next year.
Put it together, and it’s a formula for alienating much of the public rather than winning them over. Oddly, few Republicans seem to realize how they’re squandering their opportunity, or that there might have been a better way.”

The real reason Adam Schiff was censured in the House today was because he was the lead prosecutor in dumpster don’s first impeachment.
What is on their laundry list of things to do while they have the majority is to punish their perceived enemies. Actually they are mostly trump’s perceived enemies they plan to punish in someway. Like today. Doing their master’s bidding.

Claims father and aunt posted his bond, or someone other relatives ? Guess he lied again.. he said he would go to jail to protect his bail poster... Update: Speaking to ABC News reporters on Thursday morning, Santos said his bond cosigners are his aunt, Elma Santos Preven and his father Gercino Dos Santos. It was then confirmed by the release of the documents.
