Ouch. "It was obvious from these first two attempts at oversight that House Republicans have absolutely nothing. Their strained efforts to prove there is a 'there' there are backfiring spectacularly and raising serious questions about the basic competence of Jordan and Comer."

Comer was on Hannity tonight. He was on Hannity’s radio show earlier today. He was on Hannity Wednesday. He was on Hannity 3 times before that in the past month. The man’s congressional directory entry may as well read Rep. James Comer (R-Hannity) since he basically lives there.

After SCOTUS decision on presidential power, Americans may ask: “But does it impact me?” Yes. Presidents can use their power to help themselves, or they can use it to help you. President Biden uses his to help you. And he has the wisdom, judgment and character not to abuse it.

This. Every reporter should remember this revelatory exchange on Fox primetime tonight when, tomorrow, House Republicans pretend to care about the Border Patrol during their made-up Mayorkas impeachment stunt.

Attacking the integrity of the Border Patrol Union because they endorsed what NBC News calls “the most aggressive border security bill in decades” is extremely low, and a sign of true desperation. @SpeakerJohnson needs to stop delaying border security for the sake of politics.

They can’t answer because there isn’t an answer It’s an impeachment about nothing They aren’t pursuing anything real, they are just using it as a political stunt to go to places like Hannity to relentlessly attack a good, honorable man with lies

👀 Former Bush aide Ari Fleischer warns @SpeakerMcCarthy : Once you open an impeachment inquiry, “there’s no stopping it.” It could “unleash an internal Republican civil war” because they “may not have the votes” and it could lead to “the worst, biggest backfire for Republicans.”
