Team Donny spent all day yesterday taking a victory lap, celebrating the Twelfth Spigot-Opening Battalion — the Fightin’ Spigoteers! — in their glorious victory over California’s rebel forces at the Battle of the Ginormous Fucking Faucet That Doesn’t Actually Exist. the whole nonsensical fairy tale spilled over into the White House press room.

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.
A tweet from Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) stating: "The White House is aware of the Medicaid website portal outage. We have confirmed no payments have been affected — they are still being processed and sent. We expect the portal will be back online shortly."

Dear Humans, Trump’s hiring freeze has left his own supporters jobless and humiliated. Now, they’re begging him to fix the chaos he caused—and the irony is nothing short of divine. Grab some popcorn; it’s time for thy daily dose of schadenfreude.

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

House GOP can't subpoena Cassidy Hutchinson about Liz Cheney talking to her because so many of them sent her sexually explicit texts. wapo.st/4hKX6L1
An aide to House Speaker Mike Johnson advised Republican colleagues against subpoenaing former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson as part of their investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, attack in an effort to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her, according to written correspondence reviewed by The Post and a person familiar with the effort.
