Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


From Michele Bachmann (R–Crazytown), speaking to the GOP Youth Convention about what Republicans should do if they gain control of Congress in November:

I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another. And expose all the nonsense that is going on.

Subpoena, baby, subpoena! I’m pretty sure there’s some dirt to be found in Michelle Obama’s White House garden or Larry Summers’ abuse of his government Diet Coke privileges. Steve Benen has more.

Fact:
