“I also want to say that the impeachment proceedings that are going on and what the Democrats are doing themselves to try to weaken this president is part of this,” Cheney, who represents Wyoming and is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, argued. “It was not an accident that the Turks chose this moment to roll across the border,” she claimed. “And I think the Democrats have got to pay very careful attention to the damage that they’re doing with the impeachment proceedings....

The Morgan County Republican Executive Committee organized the rally at a Fredricks Outdoor store, which saw at least one former GOP representative urging attendees to “start another [political] party” since the “abandoning” of Trump by Republicans. Brooks, who several lawmakers said should resign or be censured over his January 6 remarks, defended the talk as one of the “best rally speeches” he’s ever given. Just prior to the Capitol attacks, Brooks told raucous rallygoers to “start taking down names and kicking ass” before directing them to “along the way stop at the Capitol....

On Wednesday, Representative Glenn Grothman spoke at the Brooklyn Town Hall about how he’s against employers, including health care workers mandating vaccines for its employees. His views are based on feedback he’s received from medical professionals who don’t want the vaccine to be attached to their employment. “I think, particularly as this vaccine is still experimental, I don’t like the idea of forcing people, to keep their job, to do something they are opposed to,” Grothman said during the town hall meeting....

Trump’s comments about Sasse came just days after a report by The Washington Examiner revealed lengthy criticisms that Sasse levied against the president during a town hall phone call with voters in his state. During the call, Sasse critiqued Trump’s foreign policy decisions, as well as his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, and suggested that Trump’s leadership put the future of the Republican Party in jeopardy. He also said Trump has “flirted” with white supremacists, “spends like a drunken sailor” and added that he also “kisses dictators’ butts....

New polling from Morning Consult and Politico, which was conducted from May 22 to 26, showed that only 41 percent of GOP voters support the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel virus. That’s down 11 points from April, when the majority—or 52 percent—of Republicans said they backed the medication. Support for the treatment also declined among Democrats and independents, who were already much less likely to support the use of the drug....

“I don’t know if y’all saw, but a month after president Trump left office the American Journal of Medicine came out with a great article that they had discovered a regimen of medication that, when taken together early in COVID, that you may have heard of it hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, Z-Pak, azithromycin, zinc,” Gohmert said during a speech at the Texas Youth Summit Friday night. Gohmert’s comments were met with cheers from the audience....

Nothing is easy on the presidential staff. Gorbachev has dissolved old advisory bodies without establishing new ones. The Politburo, once the ruling clique of the Soviet Union, has turned into an assemblage of local Communist Party leaders, most of whom don’t even live in Moscow. The Presidential Council, hailed as a new brain trust in the spring of 1990, was abolished by the end of the year. Some of the president’s oldest confidants resigned after last winter’s conservative chill....

That’s a lot — maybe even more than people on placed on probation by the court of law. At any rate, Gordon put himself there as part of a two-game suspension for the use of a cough syrup that contains codeine, Pro Football Talk reports. Incidentally, my medically prescribed cough syrup has codeine in it, too, but it’s not about me. It’s about Gordon, who is now facing a yearlong suspension for a failed drug test....

The speech, folksy and impassioned, opened with what Gore called “overwhelming and undeniable” evidence that global warming is a real phenomenon, leading to the premature extinction of species, rising sea levels and droughts. In a series of PowerPoint slides, Gore presented charts and photos, videos and anecdotal evidence all pointing to the conclusion that increases in greenhouse gases are damaging the planet. The Bush administration’s response to such evidence, he said, is to conspire to suppress the information with campaign contributors he described as “polluters who are determined to prevent any action to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, out of fear that their profits might be affected....

Graham described Putin as a “war criminal” for invading Ukraine, while insisting that Biden “continues to misread the moment” in a statement obtained by Newsweek on Thursday. The South Carolina Republican pushed the president to “demand” that allies join in a fight to bring Putin and his allies “to account.” “We should not be seeking permission from allies to go after Putin and his cronies,” Graham said. “We should move ahead forcefully against Putin, a war criminal, and demand our allies join us!...

Sean Gentille, Sporting News' hockey writer and my trusted source for information on cultural happenings among those younger than me, chimed in on Twitter: For 24 hours, I waffled on whether I should go.

So, I lined up around the block with a bunch of people, most of whom appeared to be a little more than half my age, and bought my ticket an hour and a half before the show....
