I also gave Greene congressional spokesman Nick Dyer an opportunity to comment regarding Greene’s multiple false claims yesterday about the 2020 election, such as the lies that Trump won Georgia and that there were thousands of dead voters there. His response: “Fuck off.”

Republicans are cowed or co-opted, but don't look to House Democrats to seek sanctions against Greene either. They don’t want to add to the MAGA money she rakes in whenever she plays the victim card.
“The more attention you bring to her, the more money she gets,” a Democratic leadership aide told me. “That’s why we don’t make a bigger deal of any of it.”

Greene's unwarranted prominence reflects how social media and the proliferation of right-wing "news" outlets has transformed our politics, making stars of once obscure extremists. When our heads explode at her every imbecility, she wins.

Now I'll do as I say: Pay as little attention to MTG as possible. You should too.

And anyone that thinks it stops with President Trump and thinks they won’t go after them is fooling themselves.

Bragg downgraded 52% of felonies to misdemeanors in NYC in 2022.

But now Bragg plans to elevate a piddly misdemeanor to a felony because it’s Trump.

This is political persecution.

Corrupt government officials like Bragg have always been coming for us, but President Trump has been in their way. So now they want to put him in jail!

Greene, GOPers cite ‘bomb’ found at border. Feds say it was ball of sand.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and a colleague even floated military action in response

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has repeatedly held up the purported existence of weapons of mass destruction to justify invading Iraq as a cautionary tale.

“Intelligence briefings with ‘reasons’ why we have to go to war with Russia are similar to the intelligence community telling lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,” she tweeted in May. She told then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) in November: “Your father lied our country into a war with Iraq.”

On Tuesday, Greene and a GOP colleague floated sending the U.S. military south while citing what U.S. Border Patrol now says was a false claim about a bomb.

At a field hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee near the Texas-Mexico border, multiple Republicans pointed to the alleged explosive device.

“Chief Ortiz, are you aware that there was an explosive device found by Border Patrol agents on no man, in an area called no man’s land?” Greene asked Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz. Rep. Morgan Luttrell (R-Tex.) cited “this explosive device that was discovered by one of your Border Patrol agents.” Rep. Dale W. Strong (R-Ala.) labeled it an “improvised explosive device being used against U.S. law enforcement.”

Greene also tweeted a picture of the “explosive,” accusing Mexican cartels of “planting bombs.”

Ortiz didn’t offer much information on the item at the hearing, and he and another witness even seemed unfamiliar with what the Republicans were talking about.

But by Wednesday afternoon, Ortiz tweeted that the item was merely a “duct-taped ball filled with sand.”

“During a Jan. briefing, leadership was notified that Agents found a duct-taped ball filled with sand that wasn’t deemed a threat to agents/public,” Ortiz said.

Greene responded to a reporter who noted a denial from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, insisting. “That’s not what the border patrol agents are telling me,” she said. Her spokesman, Nick Dyer, told The Washington Post that those agents provided “a firsthand account” and said Greene had provided more sourcing information than Ortiz had.
