Monday Morning Minute: Keeping Up With the Joneses, 2025 Style

TOP O’ THE MORNIN’

Red-Hot at RedState 

Bondi might not have an avenue to hold Jasmine accountable, but Johnson and Republicans in the House certainly do.

I highly doubt that any severe punishments will be handed out to those who entered the Capitol. After all, it’s more likely they will just receive a scolding from a government official.

The Iran problem obviously won’t be solved quickly or easily, but peace through strength is the only option when dealing with the Islamic Republic. 

Trending Across Townhall Media

Is this going to stay “contained” to just vandalism and harassment or will it get uglier.

Question: As to the now late Dyson and the still-alive Elon Musk, a recipient of death threats, what’s wrong with this picture?

The left is acting emotionally instead of tactically, and their hysteria has trapped them in a series of no-win situations.

by the Chief Justice could save the judicial branch by restoring the judicial modesty that preserves the respect of the other branches.

For Democrats, a person is either a loyal follower or an enemy and once a person is an enemy, anything goes!

WHAT’S ON TAP?

Today on Capitol Hill…

The politicians are returning to the Capitol Hill, and there is a lot on their agenda to keep both them and us occupied. They’re gradually resuming their meetings and hearings, with only two scheduled for Monday.

  • House Veterans’ Affairs, Technology Modernization Subcommittee — Closing the Data Gap: Improving Interoperability Between VA and Community Providers
  • House Rules — H.R. 1048 – Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions Act; H.J. Res. 24 – Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers.”; H.J. Res. 75 – Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy relating to “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers.”

White House What’s Up

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump attended the NCAA wrestling championship in Philadelphia, making quite an impression. On Monday, he has events planned with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry in the Roosevelt Room, followed by participation in a Greek Independence Day celebration.

Full Court Press…

The Supreme Court is back in action Monday with three cases set for oral argument. (Two are consolidated.)

  1. Louisiana v. Callais/Robinson v. Callais, having to do with whether Louisiana violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
  2. Riley v. Bondi, involving the deadline for a non-citizen’s filing a petition for review of an order for removal from the U.S. 

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Second Lady Usha Vance will travel to Greenland on Thursday to tour historical sites and attend the country’s national dog sled race. 

The House Homeland Security Committee is holding a hearing on Tuesday regarding the Biden administration’s failures at the border. 

MORNING MUSING

I’m simultaneously fascinated and repelled by those infernal influencer vids on TikTok/Insta/X that purport to portray a workout/beauty/food prep routine, complete with an endless supply of just the right equipment/applicators/containers. I do get the appeal — watching someone who has things perfectly organized and (seemingly) seamlessly navigates their process of getting fit or staying healthy gives us something to aspire to. But it’s unrealistic. And either you’re left feeling inadequate — because who can be that disciplined all the time?! — or like you need to sell a kidney to acquire all of the requisite paraphernalia to stay on top of things. Listen, folks, I have a confession: I’m a mess. On good days, my home is only slightly cluttered. I’d love to Marie Kondo (or whoever the craze is these days) my life and lead an uncluttered, totally organized, efficient existence. And maybe I will at some point. Right after I watch this video about how to organize my spices…
