Thanks, Em. I wish they did a better job so this vacuum didn't exist. But I've very much appreciated you this week.

We don't even disagree about waste, or fraud, or abuse... but there's absolutely zero evidence that the GOP is actually rooting out anything real. It's a big show.
And Rep McGuire showed us last night that he's totally comfortable with that.

And I just keep thinking: What world are you living in where that feels remotely relevant?
Do you think we'll be so shocked that we'll forget about all of the real (non-cat-related) jobs you're eliminating? All the people living in fear that their livelihoods are about to be cut?

Rep McGuire's example of waste, fraud, and abuse was about... wait for it... "sex changes on cats and dogs" and "cat cannibalism".

Can a member of Rep John McGuire's staff maybe show him this footage? He doesn't seem to understand what's happening in a caucus he's supposedly a part of.

Martha asks for a specific example of waste and a specific example of fraud.
McGuire says that millions of dollars have been spent on performing sex changes on cats and dogs. He tells Martha that he loves her.

Rep. McGuire says the budget resolution the House passed yesterday doesnāt say one word about āMedicaid,ā implying thereās no plan to cut it. Bullshit.
