    No prizes for guessing this congresswoman’s party affiliation.

    Not that “Yahoo Entertainment” (news is dead, i know) even bothered to put it in the entire article, much less the headline.

    The congresswoman started by thanking Christian for writing. She said they agreed about the importance of innovation in the automobile industry.

    That was the last kind thing in the letter.

    Foxx told the 10-year-old that his request meant taking money out of the pockets of hardworking taxpayers who might not be able to afford an electric vehicle themselves. She told him the country was heading toward bankruptcy and economic failure. She wrote that 2038 is only 12 years away, and that “YOU and your classmates will be responsible for paying down the national debt.”

    She capitalized “YOU.” She was writing to a fourth grader.

    Then she linked him to six articles from Fox News, National Review, The Washington Times, and the Wall Street Journal editorial board — articles about the failures of climate change policy.

    And then she turned on his teacher.

    What a fuckwit piece of shit.

      Cute, the National Debt that HER and HER generation allowed to run rampant so that SHE could make off with mad bank? Not to mention the debt that HER party has incurred the last few years alone?

        They’re always concerned with it when they’re not in office. But these days no one cares what’s real.

      Good observation. They almost gave her party affiliation, but they stopped short.

      Foxx now chairs the House Rules Committee and is running for re-election in 2026 with Trump’s endorsement.

      It’s not exactly ambiguous, but it’s also not explicit. That’s a weird choice.

        This innocent-until-proven-guilty guy is never going to get a fair trial. His biggest supporters are constantly like, “yeah, he totally shot that guy.”

          Well, even the lawyer is saying “judge, just look out the window and see all those supporters saying that what he did was right.”
