Rep. Seth Magaziner shut Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's fearmongering about so-called 'terrorist' crossing the border by citing her own 'De-fund the FBI' merchandise.

During a Tuesday meeting of the House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene presented arguments for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Greene began her remarks by stating:


"Let's talk about border patrol apprehensions between ports of entry at the Southwest border of terrorist [sic]."

However, Rhode Island Representative Seth Magaziner had a very effective rebuttal for Greene's complaints.

A rebuttal that clearly amused his fellow committee member, Michigan Democratic Representative Shri Thanedar.

Representative Magaziner—while showing Greene's merchandise website on his phone—said:

"I have to say it is pretty rich hearing the gentlewoman from Georgia express her concern about terrorism when she literally was selling 'defund the FBI' t-shirts and hats on her website for $30 apiece."

The Rhode Island Democrat added:

"$30 for the shirts and another $30 for the hats—you don't get both for just the $30—the leading law enforcement agency tasked with combating terrorism in this country and keeping people safe, and she wants to defund it."

Magaziner concluded:

"So I am not going to take any lectures from her on securing this homeland from terror."

Others were equally critical of Greene's committee performance.












Magaziner wasn't alone in calling out Republican hypocrisy.

New York Democratic Representative Dan Goldman stated:

"When the secretary and the administration have tried to use their limited authority to change policy, to limit the number of people coming to the border, to streamline the process to make it go through ports of entry, Republicans filed lawsuits to stop the administration from doing it."
"So again, the hypocrisy of you sitting here accusing Secretary Mayorkas of failing to enforce the law, when you are going to court to prevent him from enforcing the law is hypocrisy at its height."
"You have created this situation."
"And now you want to have the second impeachment of a cabinet secretary ever. You let him do his job. You work with the Senate, your colleagues in the Senate on the legislation needed and then let's figure out how to address the border."

New Jersey Democratic Representative Rob Menendez called out the Republican led committee for its own inaction.

"We have held zero full committee hearings dedicated to emergency preparedness, cyber threats, infrastructure protection, transportation security, Department of Homeland Security management."

As expected, the House Homeland Security Committee voted along party lines—11-9—to bring two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to a vote of the full House.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
