But was any of it spent to protect the podium?
She’s basically Marie Antoinette without the fashion sense.

Sounds like Moses MiQe.
With all the heavy, incredibly serious stuff going on today, the Speaker is focused on Democrats not wanting to talk to a confrontational right-wing interviewer on the street.

I can't wait to see the sequel to Weekend At Bernies!
I’m sure this is going to go over well with the judge tomorrow.
"Weekend at Rikers” it’s too much to wish for but still makes me laugh just to think about it.

Joyce Vance does a deep dive into the SC Oral Arguments heard this week. With bonus critters! joycevance.substack.com/...
The opening paragraph:
In a normal world, we’d all be talking about a pair of big oral arguments at the Supreme Court this week. But obviously, we live in a world that is anything but normal. To discuss this week’s cases at the Supreme Court, we have to take a break from the criminal prosecution of the former president. I’m still struck, every time I say or write that, how important it is that we not become immune to that fact. Donald Trump is not the victim of a witch hunt or of any political persecution. He is a four-times indicted, twice impeached, lifetime fraudster who bamboozled far too many Americans in order to win the presidency. It’s our job to make sure he doesn’t return to it. Both of the Supreme Court cases we take a look at tonight have an angle that involves public corruption, so it’s important to make time for them.

Republicans who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy face new ad onslaught www.nbcnews.com/...
An outside group is launching new ads against three House Republicans who are facing primary challengers and voted to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
✂️
American Prosperity Alliance, a nonprofit advocacy group, has placed nearly $700,000 in ad spending targeting Reps. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Bob Good of Virginia and Eli Crane of Arizona, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact.
✂️
The group launched two ads targeting Good and Mace, with each spot saying they “voted against funding our border security, opposed billions for ICE, opposed millions for new technology, opposed thousands of new border agents.” The ads point to their votes against a sweeping government spending package, which 112 House Republicans opposed.
