Missed one:

Ken Cuccinelli (whose official title is "Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security")
But not LOL:
[Chad] Wolf affirmed [that he would be sending federal troops nationwide], telling Fox News that his agency can act with or without local cooperation. "I don't need invitations by the state, state mayors or state governors to do our job," he said. "We're going to do that, whether they like us there or not." President Trump likewise vowed to send federal law enforcement agents to several more cities, amid reports that a Portland-like force was headed to Chicago .

Oh hey, missed this on my pesky Monday off last week (we are doing four long days now, like firepeople!): Apparently the US attorney for Oregon referred the silly li'l "bring in federal law enforcement to shoot protesters in the face" to the DOJ IG. This is why you open *all the tabs*. (US Department of Justice)
I'm sure that will help, as they're now arresting attorney-moms who luckily already know their rights, since they're sure not reading them to them. (OregonLive)

Same as above, Republicans embarrassing themselves on coronavirus bills, except in Slate. — Slate
Thirty million people unemployed, the GOP meeting to figure out what to do (dick-all) about it, and this is what Ted Cruz says out loud, with his mouth:
Cruz said the GOP should be focused on a safe restart of the economy. He said if the economy remains shuttered in November, Democrats will win both the White House and the Senate and thatRepublican senators, who usually meet in the ornate Mansfield Room in the Capitol, will "be meeting in a much smaller lunchroom" next year.
No, Twitter's not going to let you harass Chrissy Teigen for QAnon. She's valuable. You're puds. (NBCNews)
Ron Johnson blocked a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday because it would "cost too much." — Huffpost
Joni Ernst explains over and over again, like these dummies just can't even understand, that the difference between replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the last year of a term, or even in a lameduck session after the election, and replacing Antonin Scalia in the last year of a term, is they are very different things: In one case, the president is a Republican.

Judge won't let South Carolina gov spend $32 million in coronavirus money on private school vouchers? RUDE. — Post and Courier
