As I wrote yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci was not the only one taking the Fifth yesterday on his record during the pandemic. The media effectively invoked the same privilege to avoid self-incrimination for their years of deifying the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Across the cable networks, hosts and guests were going into vapors as Republican senators pummelled Fauci over his COVID policies and the glaring contradictions found in his diary entries. Some, like Dr. Scott Ratzan, echoed Fauci’s own prior claim that any questioning of his judgment was an attack on science. (snip)...

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is facing a conservative backlash after reaffirming his opposition to amnesty in a social media post, with critics arguing the hardline message contradicted comments he made hours earlier during an immigration speech in Oklahoma. Hours after speaking at the National Governors Association Summer Meeting in Oklahoma City, Mullin wrote on X: "NO amnesty for illegal aliens. Ever." "We are a nation of laws," he wrote. "If you are illegally present in the United States of America—you will be detained and deported. Period." The post did little to quell criticism from some conservatives, who argued it...

Max Miller, to resign in the wake of abuse allegations involving Moreno’s daughter and granddaughter, adding that he thinks the GOP representative needs “serious psychological help.” “If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them.

Trump blasted Pirro in a Truth Social post Saturday: I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking?
