House Republican brags about July 4th feast and tells struggling Americans that "maybe" they "don’t work as hard" as him

What's that? Can't afford a decadent lobster tail and ribeye feast this Fourth of July, what with the runaway costs of basically everything, including lobster tail and ribeye? Well, that's obviously because you haven't worked as hard as Texas Republican Troy Nehls, who had incredibly curious thoughts when asked by Meidas Touch's Pablo Manríquez, "How do House Republicans make the case that you’re fighting for affordability when you go back to your districts?"

"Affordability? What are you talking about?" Nehls then shared his weekend plans: "I'm gonna get me a couple of big lobster tails, I'm gonna get me some nice ribeyes, I'm gonna sit in my backyard with my family, my neighbors, and we're going to be enjoying the Fourth, celebrating 250 years, the birthday. We're gonna be celebrating the greatest president of my lifetime, Donald J. Trump..."

When Drop Site News' Julian Andreone asked Nehls if he thought the "60% of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck" could also afford lobster tails and ribeyes, the MAGA Republican shot back, "Maybe not. Maybe the 60% of Americans don't work as hard as I do either." Any questions?

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Supreme Court retirement news surges into the spotlight

Yesterday morning NPR issued — then immediately retracted — a bombshell report that Justice Samuel Alito was retiring from the Supreme Court he has spent that past 20 years delegitimizing with one disastrous, right-wing opinion after another. While NPR's Nina Totenberg promptly took responsibility for the erroneous report, calling it a "rookie mistake," the story nonetheless sent shockwaves throughout the beltway and beyond, as speculation of an impending SCOTUS retirement was already running high.

We'll chalk this one up to an unfortunate case of premature evacuation. It can happen to anyone, folks.

BREAKING: Alaska Senate race shifted from "Lean Republican" to "Tossup!"

Mary Peltola for Alaska: Former Congresswoman Mary Peltola sent shockwaves through American politics when she won the only congressional seat in deep-red Alaska in 2022. Now she’s running for the US Senate seat held by MAGA millionaire Dan Sullivan - and the race has just been shifted from "lean Republican" to "Toss-up!" A proven winner like Peltola with an Alaska First platform of “fish, family, and freedom” is just the candidate we need to flip this critical seat and retake the Senate. Will you chip in to help push her over the finish line?

Mike Johnson accidentally tanks Defense budget bill over SAVE Act
Pipsqueaker of the House Mike Johnson keeps coming up with inventive new ways to tank Donald Trump's most favored pieces of legislation, this time anchoring the deeply unpopular election-steal scheme known as the "SAVE" Act to the wildly bloated $1.15 trillion National Defense Authorization Act. A procedural vote in the House failed handily by a 198–224 margin yesterday, as 14 Republicans joined Democrats to oppose the last-minute addition of the president's voter restriction bill to the proposed Pentagon budget.

Stephen Miller makes appallingly racist comments about foreign pregnant women

Flagging White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller for being a vile racist is not unlike calling out the Sun for being hot, but all the same, the xenophobic bile he vomited into the public record yesterday is no less appalling.

Speaking to fellow gutter troll Jesse Watters on Fox News yesterday, Miller took issue with the Supreme Court's ruling upholding constitutionally protected birthright citizenship and said the Trump regime would be taking a hard look at whether or not pregnant women from other countries would be allowed to visit or enter the United States going forward.

Miller then insinuated that undocumented immigrants come to the United States for the express purpose of giving birth to babies who then collect and send welfare checks back home to "support a whole family in the third world" for the rest of their lives — a wild accusation that says orders of magnitude more about the cancerous malcontent than the countless people he gleefully disparages.


GOP Rep. Tom Kean returns to Congress after mysterious, four-month absence
Two-term Republican Rep. Tom Kean (NJ), who is running for reelection in November, finally returned to the Capitol yesterday after a previously unexplained, four-month-long absence, citing a depression diagnosis. Speaking on the House floor, Kean said he owed his constituents, colleagues, and the American people an explanation, then took no questions from the press or bothered to explain why he chose to hide the reason for his absence until yesterday.

Interestingly, Kean's diagnosis did not stop him from actively trading stocks or collecting his taxpayer-funded salary during his mysterious leave, a curiosity New Jersey Democrats were quick to point out.

Reflecting pool coating supplier’s statement on repairs conflicts with Trump’s sabotage claim
Conspicuously absent in Rhino Linings' statement on repairs to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool? Any mention of vandals, sabotage, or box cutters. The company did flag a "finish-coat separation" issue, however. Weird!


Months after he sent a critical email to ICE, agents tracked New York man to his home and a hotel
Donald Trump’s ICE goon squad spent tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars to sic federal agents on a New York father of two, tracking him across two continents — from his Rochester doorstep to a Finnish theme park where he was vacationing with his seven-year-old daughter to an airport hotel he hadn't even told his wife about — all because he sent a strongly worded email six months ago calling the ICE director a bad person, which, for the record, was and is definitely true. Nope, nothing fascistic about it.

Trump blames reflecting pool on… wait for it… OBAMA!

Trump blames...Obama for Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool debacle

Stop us if you've heard this one before, but everything is Barack Obama's fault. According to our 47th president, the botched $14 million paint job of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool actually pales in comparison to past renovation costs and also somehow failed because of restoration efforts taken back in 2012.

"Barack Hussein Obama. Have you ever heard of him?" Trump bloviated yesterday, claiming that the 44th president "destroyed" the pool with water from the Potomac River. According to Donald's completely made-up figures, Obama and Joe Biden spent either $100 million or $147 million — and wanted to spend $400 million — repairing the pool, while his bungled job only cost taxpayers $10 million. Not sure "I fail for less!" is the winning message Trump thinks it is, but far be it from us to advise otherwise.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump goes on confused rant about reflecting pool fiasco

To hear Donald tell it, vandals managed to cut a 100-foot, 250-foot, or 350-foot slit in the bottom of the just-renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool...with a boxcutter. Just don't bother asking for photographic or video evidence of any kind in the most heavily surveilled city in the country. We can't just go around sharing that stuff willy nilly. Due process and all. Got it.

Beloved Alaskan Mary Peltola drops love letter to Alaska in inspiring first TV ad

Mary Peltola for Alaska: US Senate candidate Mary Peltola is a native Yup'ik who has spent her entire life working for Alaska, and her genuine love for the state and its people flies off the screen. "When I think of an Alaskan, I think about somebody who has a genuine connection to the land and the people and the experience of living and growing and raising a family here," says one man. "Every Alaskan I have ever known, no matter how young, no matter how old, no matter where they're from, deeply understand the importance of making sure our kids and grandkids and all the generations after us have the same kind of abundance that we had. We can get back there if we're all working on this together." It's the perfect message for a positive campaign that connects directly to voters and is even more powerful considering that incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan is a transplant from Ohio.

Top intelligence agency begins mass firings under Trump lackey Bill Pulte, source says
Bill Pulte, the 38-year-old private equity bro with ZERO intelligence experience and nearly zero regular intelligence, has begun gutting the National Counterterrorism Center — the agency created after 9/11 specifically to prevent future terrorist attacks on American soil.

Pulte, who once publicly accepted a “Bill Pulte Fucks Only The Young” trophy at an event he helped organize, apparently spent his first week as acting DNI chief angling for access to a government plane and asking if he could take the President's Daily Brief home. Now he’s dismantling America's intelligence apparatus without congressional approval. What could possibly go horribly wrong?

Not so fast: Iran says it didn't agree to nuclear inspections

Despite hyperbolic proclamations from Donald Trump declaring otherwise, Iranian leaders announced through state media that they will not allow nuclear inspectors back into the country, complicating whatever fledgling agreement may or may not exist between the United States and Iran. On Tuesday, Trump insisted otherwise, declaring that Iran had agreed to "highest level Nuclear inspections" for "Infinity!!!" Okay, okay, but what about BEYOND??

An explosion of household debt has put the US economy in a precarious spot

In yet another glaring sign that all is definitely well and bigly good in the age of Trump, total liabilities among US households swelled to a record $19.9 trillion at the end of the first quarter in 2026 — a sign that Americans are continuing to borrow at an alarming clip to fund their spending. Fret not, the warning signs get brighter! According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the personal savings rate in the United States is hovering near a record low, shrinking to 2.6% in April.

The trend might be the result of the so-called wealth effect, a phenomenon where Americans spend more because they feel wealthier as the price of assets like stocks and real estate rise, Albert Edwards, a SocGen strategist and famed market permabear, said. "The US consumer currently resembles the Wile E. Coyote character, running off the cliff and suspended in thin air briefly, before collapsing," Edwards said.

And just like Wile E. Coyote, the US consumer will surely bounce back, catch that pesky Roadrunner once and for all, and live happily and responsibly ever after. Right?


Tucker Carlson says he'll no longer support the Republican Party
Having spent the better part of the past two decades breathlessly fanning conspiratorial flames; amplifying far-right, very white, phantom grievances; and flat-out lying to millions of unscrupulous television viewers in service of the world's most incorrigible grifter, Tucker Carlson has apparently finally seen some kind of light and will no longer support the Republican Party he enthusiastically helped drive off a cliff. We're all familiar with the old "enemy of my enemy is my friend" proverb, but in this case that's a hard pass. Don't let the door hit you on your way into the abyss, Tucker.
