Fail.

As Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee overseeing impeachment proceedings, Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been a constant target of derision and insults from President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress.

Trump assigned him the nickname "Shifty Schiff." Republicans have accused him of holding "secret" hearings and falsely assert that he's met the whistleblower whose complaint spurred the impeachment proceedings in the first place.


But a a sign posted in the background during today's testimonies of diplomats Dr. Fiona Hill and David Holmes, Republicans accidentally honored Schiff.

The sign read:

"0 days since Adam Schiff followed House Rules."

See if you can spot the problem here.

If the sign had read "Zero days since Adam Schiff broke House rules" or "14 days since Adam Schiff followed House rules" that would’ve communicated the Republicans’ (false) assertion, but “0 days since Adam Schiff followed House Rules” only means that Adam Schiff is currently following House rules.

Republicans had accidentally told the truth, and people called them out.

The word must've reached Republicans, because the sign was soon replaced with a list of witnesses not called to testify.

Too little, too late.

Trump Made A Petty Dig At Taylor Swift During The Eagles' White House Visit—Because Of Course

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
