Perry Greene filed for divorce in Floyd County Superior Court on Wednesday, citing that the marriage to Marjorie Taylor Greene has been “irretrievably broken,” according to court documents seen by a number of news outlets. Perry Greene described in the court filings that he and the Republican congresswoman, who have been married for 27 years, had been in a “bona-fide state of separation” since before he filed the papers....
“I’d be honored to serve on Oversight to hold the Democrats accountable for abusing their power, Judiciary to push through my articles of impeachment on Joe Biden, and Foreign Affairs to put America First and China Last and stop the never-ending wars pushed by globalist neocons,” she said in an interview that was published by the Rome News-Tribune Sunday. The Georgia congresswoman called the current Congress committees “useless” because the GOP serves as the minority and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is ruling Congress “with an iron fist,” adding that “GOP bills and amendments don’t see the light of day....
In a tweet Wednesday night, Greene said the quip from Kimmel, which referenced Will Smith’s attack on Chris Rock at the Oscars, was a “threat of violence” towards her. Kimmel was discussing the controversy surrounding Greene’s previous comments in which she accused GOP senators Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins of being “pro pedophile” because they announced they were going to vote to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court....
The shooting at the King Soopers supermarket left 10 people dead, including one police officer. Just days before the shooting, a judge in Boulder blocked the city from implementing a ban on the sale and possession of assault weapons. “Colorado has everything the left has asked for,” the Georgia Republican congresswoman said in a Tuesday tweet. She listed some examples of Colorado’s gun legislation, including its high-capacity magazine ban, red flag gun law and universal background checks requirement....
Greene posted the tweet in reply to a comment from longtime GOP strategist Bill Kristol, who posted that she “recommends betting against America” after the GOP representative criticized a number of President Joe Biden’s foreign policies and his apparent stature on the world stage. “I tell you what pumpkin. How about you suit up and report to your commander and chief yourself and tell him your reporting for duty,” Greene wrote....
The Nazi doctor was known for performing cruel medical experiments on prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp. During an appearance Wednesday on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ self-titled show, Greene said she agreed with a previous statement from Fox Nation’s Lara Logan, who said in December that “Fauci represents Josef Mengele.” The congresswoman also said that equating Dr. Fauci, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director, to the Nazi doctor was a “fair comparison....
Greene, a Republican who represents Georgia’s 14th district, offered the advice on her podcast on Friday and showed a tweet featuring a man who had been involved in the protest. The man was wearing a t-shirt that showed what appeared to be a semi-automatic weapon and the phrase “Kill your local pedophile,” which Greene suggested was not a helpful way for protesters to be dressed. Police believe a group of men who stormed the event at the San Lorenzo Library in East Bay, San Francisco on June 11 may be members of the far-right group Proud Boys....
This week the Georgia congresswoman’s name has come up in association with being Donald Trump’s vice president should he succeed in his own 2024 aspirations. Steve Bannon, a former White House adviser during the Trump years, went a step further by saying Greene’s ambition could one day make her the Republican Party’s presidential hopeful. Conway, whose wife Kellyanne Conway was also a mainstay in the Trump administration, said Thursday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe that Greene joining Trump would be “perfect” because both represent “a crack in every pot....

Mark Cuban addressed Mavs fans Thursday after DeAndre Jordan reneged on a verbal agreement with Dallas and re-signed with the Clippers. The Mavs owner used his private messaging application Cyber Dust to explain the chaos from his perspective.

MORE: Schedule | Standings | Highlights It's a win for the Maple Leafs for one large reason: It takes $1.275 million in cap space off their payroll, which was desperately needed. The players they got in return may never play in the NHL, though Hartikainen at one point had some promise and played in 52 games with Edmonton over three seasons. Fraser, 27, is big (6-4, 220 pounds), tough, physical and by all accounts, a great guy, but his skating makes him a liability — and he certainly shouldn't have played over anyone in Toronto, barring an injury....
The addition of Giordano immediately helps a Maple Leafs blue line that has struggled of late to keep the puck out of the team’s net. He can eat up minutes if needed and he plays a strong role in his own zone. Blackwell provides defensive assurances for Toronto’s bottom-six forward group at a cheap cost ($725,000). The deal is a great get for the Leafs, who needed to make a move to keep up with the rest of the Eastern Conference....

The 35-year-old tech mogul said his stance was two-fold: It’s important to give people a voice, and the revenue from political ads was too small to justify the controversy surrounding the matter. “From a business perspective, the very small percent of our business that is made up of our political ads does not come anywhere close to justifying the controversy that this incurs for our company,” Zuckerberg told members of the House Financial Services Committee....
A country of publicly traded families could raise standards of living and make life easier. Parents and their kids, for example, would be the board of directors of their own corporations and live the high life to which most top executives are accustomed. Groceries, dinners out and vacations would all be considered business expenses, and therefore tax-deductible. The kids could be spun off as their own “tracking stocks,’’ the high-potential subsidiaries of the “parent’’ corporation....
Mullin, a Republican, left for Afghanistan to help rescue a woman and her four children. He reportedly asked the U.S. ambassador to Tajikistan to help transport cash into the country to help the mission. The trip occurred after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi requested that representatives not visit Afghanistan while the evacuation was taking place—a request prompted by two other congressmen, Seth Moulton and Peter Meijer, making a trip to Kabul....
Valdes-Scantling took the blame, and he responded with a tweet that could serve his team well for the remainder of the regular season. That was a rare burst of accountability on a platform that rushed to condemn the receiver for Green Bay’s second-half meltdown. The Packers dropped to 7-3 and missed a chance to take a three-game lead in the NFC North. They no longer have the top seed in the NFC playoff standings....
