Republicans floating Social Security cuts even after raging at Biden for saying they wanted them

Weeks after creating an uproar at President Joe Biden's State of the Union address where he accused them of want to cut Social Security, Republicans are doing just that.

According to a report from the Daily Beast's Ursula Perano, the booing and jeering of Biden had hardly faded before Republican members of Congress began proposing increasing the target age for taking advantage of Social Security benefits from 67 to 70.

Dominion’s damning revelations underscore the 'full corruption of Fox News': former Reagan speechwriter

For many years, Mona Charen — a veteran conservative columnist who was a speechwriter for First Lady Nancy Reagan during the 1980s — has complained about what she views as a liberal bias in the mainstream media. But in an article published by The Bulwark on March 2, the Never Trumper’s primary target is not CNN, the Washington Post or the New York Times. It is Fox News, which, she argues, has "embarrassed" itself by shamelessly promoting "lies" and "fiction."

Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News has turned into a major scandal for the right-wing cable news outlet, which, in late 2020 and early 2021, promoted attorney Sidney Powell's false claim that Dominion's equipment was used to help now-President Joe Biden steal the presidential election from then-President Donald Trump. E-mails and text messages that Dominion has presented as evidence show Tucker Carlson and others at Fox News privately admitting that Powell's claim was total nonsense. Yet Fox News, according to Dominion, promoted Powell's debunked claim anyway.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's 'firehose of lies' shredded by Morning Joe

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) "firehose of falsehoods" as an intentional effort to destroy the truth as autocratic leaders have throughout history.

The Georgia Republican blamed President Joe Biden for the fatal overdoses of two Michigan men whose mother testified during a House hearing on fentanyl trafficking, but they both died in 2020 during the presidency of Donald Trump, and Greene's spokesman ripped off a profane tirade against a CNN fact checker who asked him about the discrepancy.

DeSantis’ censorship drive could backfire big time as it imperils Fox News — here's how

Marjorie Taylor Greene's obsession with culture wars reflects her 'insecurity' as a parent: former GOP congressman

Former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) tore into Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on MSNBC Wednesday, suggesting that her obsession with culture war issues around children is a sign of her own insecurity as a parent.

This comes as Greene, a far-right congresswoman known for embracing the QAnon conspiracy theory, continues to push her idea of a second secession crisis, or "national divorce," where Republican-controlled states could break off and create their own nation that, in her own words, would be a "safe space" from the Left.
