Jimmy Kimmel Drags Ted Cruz’s New Book In Most Fabulous Way

Jimmy Kimmel recruited “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Trixie Mattel to mockingly promote Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) new book “Unwoke” on Thursday.Kimmel thought his longtime foe’s new written effort could do with some extra promotion following reports the senator’s campaign spent $150,000 on copies of a previous tome.Trixie Mattel held a “Drag Queen Storytime” ― the concept of which is a flashpoint in the conservative culture wars ― with some children, who yawned and appeared bored during a passage in which Cruz whined about “woke, Neo-Marxist ideas.”A fake excerpt explained the real reason Cruz ditched Texas for Cancun amid a deadly winter storm.“We learned nothing today,” one child said.Trixie later gave them all copies of “Unwoke” to take home, which they promptly dumped in the trash.Watch t...

Ted Cruz (R-Texas) drew ridicule for his praise of British Conservative politician Liz Truss — of blink-and-you-miss-it prime ministerial fame — at the weekend.“We are so grateful for our British friends and for strong leaders on the global stage who will champion conservative principles and defend Liberty,” Cruz wrote alongside a photo of himself and his wife Heidi Cruz with Truss in Texas on X, formerly Twitter.Truss, meanwhile, said it was “vital that Conservatives win the battle of ideas both in the U.S. and UK.”“The time is now,” she added.Check out their exchange here:Critics reminded Cruz of Truss’ embarrassingly short-lived spell as UK leader.As Truss’ government was on the verge of implosion, the Daily Star tabloid live-streamed a head of lettuce and asked: “Can Liz Truss ou...

Trump’s Plan To Expand His Powers Faces Some GOP Resistance

WASHINGTON ― Donald Trump’s sweeping plans to remake the presidency ― and give himself more power than ever if he is elected to the White House again ― have met with a chilly reception from members of his own party in Congress.The former president and his allies are vowing to bring independent federal agencies like the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission under direct presidential control, revive the practice of “impounding” funds appropriated by Congress, and strip employment protections for thousands of civil servants in the executive branch, ostensibly to replace them with Trump’s own chosen political appointees.The proposals, outlined in a New York Times story earlier this week, stem from years of Trump’s grievances about the so-called “deep state,” the m...
