'Daily Show' Has The Most Wicked Way GOP Can Get Back At Elon Musk's 'S**t' Talk
Kosta — while teeing up a clip of Johnson's monotonous response to Musk — said Republicans turning on the bill after just one post by Musk 'must really piss off' the House speaker who 'busted his balls for months' working on it.
'Don't take that shit, Mike!' said Kosta before serving a brutal diss of the former White House adviser.
'Tell that pasty, South African, belly-flashing, sperm-fountain, absent-baby-daddy, friendless, Ziploc-bag-full-of-jizz, ketamine —.'
Kosta, after pausing for applause, piled on more insults, ' — ketamine-Rasputin, dead-eye-deadbeat, DOGE-donkey, Hitler-waving, semen-distributor where he can shove his tweets! Come on!'
The comedian then turned to video of Johnson's humdrum words for Musk.
'With all due respect, my friend Elon is terribly wrong about the one big, beautiful bill.'
Kosta made a mockery of the response.
'Ohhhh, my God none of them are good at this,' he said.
Moments earlier, he clowned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for her post-vote backlash against the bill Tuesday when she revealed she was 'adamantly OPPOSED' to a provision on artificial intelligence.
He played a clip of Greene who, in remarks on the House floor, advised lawmakers to 'carefully' keep an eye on the bills they pass.
Kosta chimed in, 'Yup, no shit!'
'I mean, congrats on coming out against a crazy thing in this bill but you weren't aware of what was in it? That's your job. This isn't book club. You can't just read the first seven pages and then be like, 'I love it, Linda, more rosé.''

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs redistricting measure in response to new Texas House map
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed off Thursday evening on a redistricting plan aimed at countering Texas Republicans' planned implementation of new congressional maps for the Lone Star State. Newsom enacted the so-called 'Election Rigging Response Act,' setting a Nov. 4 special election asking whether Golden State voters approve of new House districts designed by legislators. The Democrat-controlled state Senate passed the special election measure in a 30-8 vote, shortly after the Dem-held state Assembly approved it in a 57-20 vote. Advertisement If the new map is approved by voters — and if it survives near-certain legal challenges — Democrats could win up to five additional House seats in next year's midterm elections, canceling out the five seats Republicans in Texas are expected to gain as a result of their redistricting push. Newsom announced that California would forge ahead with redistricting at a rally-like press conference in Los Angeles last week. AFP via Getty Images 'The president and the Texas Republicans are rigging the election … it is our duty to fight fire with fire,' state Sen. Jerry McNerney (D-East Bay) said during debate on the measure. Advertisement McNerney argued that 'California voters should have the right to decide if the state should respond to the president's effort to rig the election.' Since the measure seeks to override the Golden State's voter-approved, nonpartisan redistricting commission, a special election is necessary to redraw the existing congressional map. State Democrats maintain that the mid-decade redistricting measure is a one-off, needed to directly respond to Texas Republicans, but some in the legislature expressed fear that California would never return to its original system. President Trump strongly backed Texas' effort to redraw congressional maps in the Lone Star State. REUTERS Advertisement 'With the reported involvement of the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] in this action – that has been developed behind the scenes – one has to be awfully suspicious of significant changes to this process,' argued Republican state Sen. Roger Niello (R-Sacramento County). 'Indeed, the intent or the power to continue on our previous track after 2030 is of great concern to me and I think should be of great concern to everybody who votes in favor of this,' he added. Former President Barack Obama weighed in on California's redistricting earlier this week at a DCCC fundraiser, arguing that Newsom's plan 'was a smart, measured approach' to counter Texas' move.

Jesse Watters' daddy kink is showing (again), and Gavin Newsom is calling him out
Remember that brief moment in time where Tim Walz made waves by calling Republicans weird? It seems it's time to go back to that, considering the way Fox News host Jesse Watters keeps referring to California governor Gavin Newsom as "daddy." On Wednesday, the official X account for Newsom's press office tweeted a brief compilation of Watters dropping the d-word, alongside the caption, "Jesse, he's just not interested." Watters' obsession with "daddies" is well-documented. He frequently discusses politicians in terms of how daddy he thinks they are, including President Donald Trump, who he believes has "dad strength." He's also claimed Europe calls Trump "daddy," expressed his excitement about "dad" Donald Trump enacting mass deportations, and stated that Democrats "need to run a daddy" for president in 2028, among other weird, if not downright creepy, moments. Most recently, Watters had Florida governor Ron DeSantis on to complain about all the time Newsom allegedly spends on social media mocking Trump rather than doing his job, as if none of them are familiar with the concept of social media managers. For some reason, one of the chyrons across the screen at the time read "Dems Look For Big Daddy Energy." Newsom himself (or, you know, a social media manager) hopped on X Thursday morning to chime in, "Jesse, please stop calling me Daddy. It's disturbing." This followed a Trump-style tweet that Newsom's office is becoming known for that elaborated on the obsession Fox News — and Watters specifically — seems to have developed with Newsom. The whole thing is absolutely absurd, but we live in a political climate where absurdity seems to triumph constantly over anything rational, so if Newsom wants to highlight that through this mimicry, then so be it. Trump's nonsense posts definitely deserve the mockery, and maybe it's about time Watters' daddy kink gets called out, too. This article originally appeared on Pride: Jesse Watters' daddy kink is showing (again), and Gavin Newsom is calling him out RELATED 15 of Gavin Newsom's most brutal roasts of Trump that have the left cackling & MAGA melting down 32 things straight people think are totally gay Fox News host Jesse Watters' hot take on husbands going grocery shopping backfires hilariously

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas says he'll bow out if redistricting stands
Longtime Austin Democratic congressman Lloyd Doggett said Thursday that he won't seek reelection if new congressional maps are not overturned by courts. Why it matters: Doggett's move prevents a potentially nasty Democratic primary in the wake of a Republican redistricting effort, allowing U.S. Rep. Greg Casar, D-Austin, a rising progressive, to remain in power. State of play: Casar and Doggett would have battled for a single Austin-based district under the new congressional map that the Texas House approved on Wednesday and which the Senate is expected to pass soon. Gov. Greg Abbott has said he'll sign the legislation. Doggett, who has been repeatedly targeted by Republicans in redistricting during his over 30 years in Congress, currently represents much of Austin and its suburbs. Casar, a former Austin city council member first elected to Congress in 2022, represents parts of southern and eastern Austin in a district that snakes down to San Antonio. Flashback: In a campaign email nearly two weeks ago, Doggett wrote that "seniority is an asset, not a liability." He urged Casar to "not abandon" his reconfigured district, arguing that Casar could "use his organizing skills and populist message to win over the disaffected, particularly disaffected Hispanic voters." What they're saying: Unless the new maps are overturned by courts, "I will not seek reelection," Doggett said in a statement Thursday. "I had hoped that my commitment to reelection under any circumstances would encourage Congressman Casar to not surrender his winnable district to Trump." "While his apparent decision is most unfortunate, I prefer to devote the coming months to fighting Trump tyranny and serving Austin rather than waging a struggle with fellow Democrats." On X, Casar wrote: "Lloyd Doggett is an Austin institution. I've learned so much from him. I'm grateful to him. The fight for democracy continues." The big picture: The new map could give Republicans an additional five seats in Congress. Democrats say the map disenfranchises Black and Latino voters.
