Why you keep hearing about "Hunter Biden's laptop": So you don't keep hearing about Trump's multi-million dollar deals with the Saudi prince who murdered an American journalist. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/24/trump-saudis-golf-republicans/
Why aren’t we talking more about Trump’s business with the Saudis?

The Republican front-runner is earning money from and promoting the Saudi crown prince's business.

Tax this asshole..
I’m sick and tired of hearing this lie peddled by the GOP and corporate media. Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on— and defaulting on the debt would be catastrophic.

If you ever think your vote doesn’t matter, take a look at what happened in MN. 321 votes was the difference between nothing moving forward and a progressive triumph this session.

Endless screaming.

‘Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, a North Carolina Republican helping to lead the negotiations, said on Friday that there have been doubts about the X-date because it has been offered as a range. That, he said, is not what Americans experience when they do not have money to pay their mortgage bills on the day that they are due.

‘“There was some skepticism of a date range — that you can pick whatever you want,” he said. “That is not how this works.”’ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/27/us/politics/yellen-debt-limit.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Yellen’s Debt Limit Warnings Went Unheeded, Leaving Her to Face Fallout

The Treasury secretary, who considered ways to contain the fallout of a default when she was a Fed official in 2011, had urged Democrats to raise the limit while they still had control of Congress.

Emails Show SpaceX Bungled Elon Musk's Private Jet Privacy

FOIA docs reveal that SpaceX enrolled Elon Musk's jet in a federal program to prevent tracking, failed to implement it properly, then asked for help during the @ElonJet meltdown.

It looks like Jack Smith got 50 pages of Trump’s lawyer’s notes—this after convincing a D.C. judge that the crime-fraud exception applies…because Trump likely committed obstruction.

That’s two federal judges who have agreed that Trump likely is a criminal.

Grand jury up next.

Tick tick, Donald.

“The line is used for about 600,000 trips each weekday – including about 140,000 “additional journeys” that would not have been made by rail had the £20bn line not opened.”

Evening Standard

It seems more and more clear that the Republican extremists in control of the House don't want to prevent default on the debt they helped to create.

They WANT a default. They want the economy to crash, and then take total control of Washington (and beyond) next year.

They need help from Big Journalism to do this. And they're getting it, as the political press treats this extortion/sabotage as just another horse race story with two roughly equivalent sides.
