I don't think anyone would fault you for saying there are 435 members of the house, especially because that number is also wrong (there are six additional non-voting members).

If she had answered more correctly than the number of voting seats I wouldn't have a problem with it...

Or Dick Cheney?

It means they're looking for incriminating information without any evidence it exists. They're "casting a wide net," to use another fishing term, in hopes of finding something illegal, even if there's no basis for them asking the questions in the first place.

The parties aren't the problem. Macron holds the presidency and appoints the PM. The largest (coalition) party is giving him a candidate AFTER compromises and he's refusing STILL because he only wants a PM from his own party, who came in second (edit: not third, my bad, they did beat National Rally. They did come in third in the first round of voting though).

Every friendly interview Trump has is just him "Yeah, uh huh, right, yup"-ing is way through whatever the """interviewer""" is saying, then spewing whatever stream of consciousness he has going in the background. It's why he never answers questions - he doesn't listen to them, and if actually pressed, he gets pissed because he has to actually try to think.

Someone probably tried to tell him "we should change tactics" and he went "Uh huh, uh huh.... WHERE'S HUNTER"

The irony of naming someone as the "woman shares name of man she believes was the one arrested for crime before the police released the name" before the police release the name is incredibly ridiculous.

Before the release of further details by the authorities, others including the X owner, Elon Musk, tweeted questions on social media.

Tweets only happen on Twitter, not any "social media", and if you're going to call it X then call them posts. Or Xits.

Having continuous pieces like this make a difference. Think of how many "Biden has to step aside!" pieces have been written in the past two weeks and how much a part of the political discussion that is. The more time the media takes up shouting from the rooftops that Trump is a threat to America, the more mainstream and central the discourse becomes.

Now congressional Republicans want the justice department to release the audio of the interview.

To be clear on this, they already have the transcripts. They just want to be able to chop up audio so they can put clips of it on TV.

There's a very wide range of options between "doing nothing" and "intentionally bombing civilians"
