The next election is over a year away, but ABC’s Rachel Scott is already in peak midterm form. A report on the ongoing shutdown is completely Democrat-coded, regurgitating Democrat talking points and placing the onus for ending the shutdown exclusively on Republicans.

Talk about politics making strange bedfellows! Morning Joe hails Marjorie Taylor Greene as a working-class hero and an example to other Republicans for her criticism of the shutdown and other Republican policies. MTG!

One more time: There is no such thing as free lunch. Government has no money. It acquires the money used to pay for things one of three ways: taxing, borrowing or printing.

But a funny thing happened to Speaker Johnson, and to those watching him on both CNN and MSNBC, he was interrupted, taken away, replaced by, and then "corrected" by, the anchors in place at each respective network.

More of this please, NBC. Monday’s Today and co-host Craig Melvin followed through on its promise to speak with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) about the government shutdown after throwing down with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Friday.

Hold on to your britches because you’re not going to believe this one.
