O’Donnell said, “Donald Trump also told the demented lie, in attacking the pope, that Iran wants to, quote, exterminate the world.

And it’s far too important.” Johnson is preparing to push an 18-month extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act through the House Rules Committee this afternoon. He doesn’t yet have the votes to then advance the measure on the floor later…
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said that Ali Khamenei “did have a fatwa in place that said no development of nuclear weapons.” But now that fatwa has been ended. Host Martha MacCallum said, “There’s no indication that they didn’t cheat on that deal all the way through. There was no indication of that. And we don’t know that, because we weren’t allowed to do anywhere, any time inspections. So, it appears that they progressed and progressed and progressed on that program, until, now, we’ve got 900 pounds of highly-enriched uranium, a lot…
Florida gubernatorial hopeful Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) recently rolled out his “Your Doctor, Your Price” health plan, which would have healthcare providers clearly state the cash price of more than a dozen common procedures readily available for patients, increasing transparency.

The patients are frustrated. And so when you’re seeing the workers in that system and the users of that system both, quite frankly, pulling their hair out, shaking their head, looking…

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Iranian activist Masih Alinejad discussed the revocation of green cards of relatives of Iranian regime propagandist Masoumeh Ebtekar and said that the reason it took so long is because the policies of Presidents Obama and Biden were “all about appeasement.” After Alinejad noted that Ebtekar attacked her for protesting against mandatory hijabs while her own daughter-in-law was in the U.S., host Anderson Cooper asked, “Why did it take so long for people to realize this?” Alinejad responded, “I think you know better than me, because President Biden and President Obama, let’s be very clear…
