Weekend thread: What's happening?

Ron DeSantis secretly wanted to ban guns at his event. George Santos has a fabricating rival, a newly-elected Florida House member. Marjorie Taylor Greene curses Biden officials at balloon briefing.

Newly leaked emails show the hypocrisy and cowardice of GOP politicians: Governor Ron DeSantis wanted to ban guns at a election victory event but not take the blame for it, trying to get local officials in Tampa to do it — which would actually be violating state law.

There’s another George Santos in Congress, a House Republican who is a freshman right-wing extremist who changed her name, re-worked her biography and claimed to be Jewish — and Mexican — when her family, German Catholics, actually go back to…the Nazi German military.

And the actual leader of the House GOP, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is pulling Kevin McCarthy’s strings while doing whatever she wants, exploded with expletives at a briefing on the Chinese balloon, screaming more loudly than at the State of the Union address.
