UNIONS ON NOTICE: Sen. Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) put public sector unions on notice. Following the event, Mary Katharine Ham, a senior advisor to Public Labor Unions Accountability Committee (PULAC), told the Washington Reporter that “public sector unions are doing insane things on union time, and they’re hosing American taxpayers in the process. Whether it’s making absurd demands to wear spandex at work, secure designated smoking areas, or cry about the height of their cubicle panels, one thing is clear…they’re ripping off taxpayers and we’ll be holding them accountable.”
FAKE NEWS: Kiersten Pels, the National Press Secretary of the Republican Party, told the Reporter that she doesn’t “care what CNN’s Natasha ‘Russia Hoax’ Bertrand says” about the damage America struck on Iran’s nuclear facilities. “I think common sense suggests that when a 30,000-pound massive penetrator bomb hits an Iranian nuclear site, it’s been destroyed,” Pels said.
IRAN IMPEACHMENT? The Congressional Leadership Fund super PAC is all too eager for House Democrats to try and impeach President Trump a third time, this time over his successful strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. “What's next? Impeachment over securing the border? Or for turbocharging the economy and lowering taxes?” the group asked.
