  43. <p>Johnson hit President Biden in a post on the social platform X for awarding the Presidential Citizens Medal to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), both of whom were Jan. 6 committee members.</p>
  44. <p>Responding to another post from the New York Post about Cheney and Thompson, the Louisiana Republican said the president “is foolishly giving an award to members of Congress who intentionally and repeatedly lied to the American people.”</p>
  45. <p>“The Jan 6 Select Committee manipulated AND destroyed evidence – created a fake, phony narrative all to try and hurt Trump,” Johnson added. “They even hired a TV producer from the legacy media in a desperate attempt to legitimize what Americans knew was a total hoax and complete waste of time.”</p>
  46. <p>“Be assured of this: House Republicans WILL continue our investigation into this corrupt committee and it will be FULLY FUNDED so it can continue next Congress,” he continued.</p>

It’s a psychological quirk that might explain everything from family disagreements to international conflicts.</p>
  65. <p>We’ve all been there: stuck in traffic, grumbling about the “idiot” driving too slowly in front of us or the “maniac” who just zoomed past. But what if that slow driver is carefully transporting a wedding cake, or the speeding car is rushing someone to the hospital?</p>
  66. <p>The fascinating new study published in PLOS ONE suggests that these snap judgments stem from what researchers call “the illusion of information adequacy” — our tendency to believe we have enough information to make sound decisions, even when we’re missing crucial details.</p>
  67. <p>“We found that, in general, people don’t stop to think whether there might be more information that would help them make a more informed decision,” explains study co-author Angus Fletcher, a professor of English at The Ohio State University and member of the university’s Project Narrative, in a statement. “If you give people a few pieces of information that seems to line up, most will say ‘that sounds about right’ and go with that.”</p>
  68. <p>In today’s polarized world, where debates rage over everything from vaccines to climate change, understanding why people maintain opposing viewpoints despite access to the same information has never been more critical.</p>
  69. <p>This research, conducted by Fletcher, Hunter Gehlbach of Johns Hopkins University, and Carly Robinson of Stanford University, reveals that we rarely pause to consider what information we might be missing before making judgments.</p>

  112. <p>A U.S. strike on Iran&#8217;s nuclear program during the lame duck period would be an enormous gamble from a president who promised he would not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, but who would also risk handing a fresh conflict over to his successor. Biden did not green light a strike during the meeting and has not done so since, the sources said.</p>
  113. <p>Biden and his national security team discussed various options and scenarios during the meeting, which took place roughly one month ago, but the president did not make any final decision, according to the sources.</p>
  114. <p>A U.S. official with knowledge of the issue said the White House meeting was not prompted by new intelligence or intended to end in a yes or no decision from Biden.</p>
  115. <p>Instead, it was part of a discussion on &#8220;prudent scenario planning&#8221; of how the U.S. should respond if Iran were to take steps like enriching Uranium to 90% purity before Jan. 20, the official said.</p>
  116. <p>Another source said there are currently no active discussions inside the White House about possible military action against Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities.</p>

  135. <p>Johnson (R-Louisiana) has spent the week working the phones and met with lawmakers in the Capitol through Thursday evening to try to better understand the concerns of roughly half a dozen hard-liners whose support he needs in the speakership election, which begins at noon.</p>
  136. <p>Many of the skeptics come from the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, which has spent the last year pushing their leaders to curtail government spending, or else.</p>
  137. <p>Expand article logo Continue reading</p>
  138. <p>To win the gavel on Friday, Johnson needs 218 votes if all House lawmakers are present and voting for a speaker candidate by name. Because of the resignation of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) last month, House Republicans will start the year with just 219 seats, meaning Johnson can afford to lose just one GOP vote.</p>
  139. <p>Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) has said he’ll definitely vote against Johnson, so the speaker would need every other Republican vote.</p>

Gov. Billy Nungesser criticized New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell following the truck attack that killed at least 14 people in the city in the early hours on New Year&#8217;s Day.</p>
  159. <p>In a series of interviews with local news outlets, Nungesser, a Republican, questioned the city&#8217;s leadership and said he was frustrated by &#8220;excuses&#8221; related to the barriers that were missing from the entrance to Bourbon Street, NOLA.com reported.</p>
  160. <p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve held my tongue long enough,&#8221; Nungesser said of Cantrell. &#8220;Her lack of leadership is an embarrassment.&#8221;</p>
  161. <p>&#8220;I&#8217;m a little angry at the fact that some things in that French Quarter we&#8217;ve been trying to do for years have not gotten done,&#8221; he told 4WWL.</p>
  162. <p>Nungesser, who is reportedly the state&#8217;s top tourism official, has pushed in recent years to exert more state control over the French Quarter.</p>
  163. <p>In response to his remarks, Cantrell&#8217;s office told the newspaper that it was too early to cast blame only a day after the deadly attack.</p>

  182. <p>In remarks published on New Year’s Day by The Washington Post, Riggleman confirmed he has already started to launch an exploratory committee to determine his path to the Republican nomination to serve as Virginia’s next governor, telling the outlet he would run a campaign based on “facts, data, humor and integrity” to spread his message.</p>
  183. <p>“I think I have this unique ability to [tick] off both sides with facts and truth,” Riggleman told the outlet.</p>
  184. <p>Riggleman would first need to best Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears in the Republican primary. Should he win the Republican Party nomination, Good could find himself running against outgoing Representative Abigail Spanberger (D-VA-07), whose Democratic congressional campaign he endorsed in 2022.</p>
  185. <p>Riggleman told the Post that his past support for Spanberger places him “in a very powerful position.”</p>
