Republican Lawmaker Wants To Ban Yoga Pants From Congress

Rep Drunken Van Orden (MAGA-corner bar) apparently believes his own bullshit and thinks that everything is going swimmingly, so he has time to worry about what Congresswomen are wearing on the floor of the House:

Yoga Pants should be BANNED on the House Floor says Rep Van Orden pic.twitter.com/kNyFuJQPin

— CHARLIE COTTON (@hicharliecotton) July 26, 2026

DVO said that he is against yoga pants because they are too casual and that there should be more respect for the Institution.

Well, the good news is that if DVO doesn't like yoga pants in the House, he doesn't have to wear yoga pants in the House. I'm sure all of his colleagues would be grateful if he didn't wear them.

However, if he is worried about showing respect for the institution of Congress, maybe he shouldn't be wandering the halls, drunk as a skunk, screaming at teenage pages. Just saying.

Duffy Finds A New Threat To America - DEI Bike Lanes

He's too busy traveling all over the country _ on the taxpayers' dime, mind you - filming reality TV shows and looking for real threats to America, like rainbow crosswalks. And sure enough, Duffy has done it again! Earlier this month, he announced his crusade against DEI bike paths: But Duffy is doing more than just diverting funds from Biden-era projects. He has also ordered DOT staff to scour the agency's websites and remove all mentions of bike paths, traffic cameras, and other tools proven to improve road safety. He even forced them to take down valuable tools like the Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Analysis Tool. read more

Domestic Violence Is A Feature, Not A Bug For Republicans

Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio has been accused of horrifying acts of violence by multiple former partners.

His ex-wife Emily Moreno—daughter of Ohio GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno—said Miller threw hot water on her, held a gun to her head, and possibly broke the collarbone of the couple’s 2-year-old daughter.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who served during Donald Trump’s first term as president, accused Miller of domestic violence in 2021, with Politico reporting at the time that Miller allegedly pushed her and slapped her in the face.

Politico also reports that when he was in college, Miller was accused of pushing a woman who rebuffed his sexual advances out of his room, after which the woman fell down a flight of stairs.
