Duckworth Dunks Waltz Nomination: 'Not Qualified' After SignalGate

Sen. Tammy Duckworth slammed Mike Waltz for "failing upward" now that Trump wants to move him from National Security Adviser to UN Ambassador after they made him the fall guy for their SignalGate scandal. Trump pulled Elise Stefanik's nomination after they decided they couldn't afford to lose any more House members. Now they're trying to move Waltz into the job so they can save face and say they're not actually firing him, but just moving him to a different position.

Vice-President JD Vance, a Catholic, was asked on Xitter by Bill Kristol if he's "fine with this disrespect and mocking" of the Pope while reposting the appalling image from the White House's official account displaying an AI image depicting Trump as the Pope, just two weeks after Pope Francis's death while Catholics are in mourning.

And that's odd since his boss wants to invade Greenland and Canada while backing Putin's grotesquely bloody invasion of Ukraine. He's also OK with gun violence in the U.S.

Fox 'News' Is Really Terrified Of AOC

After months of deriding protesters who show up at Republican town halls as "outside agitators" or paid Democratic plants, Fox has finally found a protester they love... at an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez town hall. As we've discussed here, AOC and Bernie Sanders have been touring the country and going to Republican districts where their own members of Congress are too chickenshit to hold town halls and drawing massive crowds.
