🏛️ Should Lloyd Austin be impeached?

The GOP’s push to impeach Lloyd Austin splits opinions: Some cite duty dereliction, but others call it baseless.

🏛️ The Daily Caller: Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale moved to impeach Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for hiding his hospitalization. Rosendale says it's a matter of national security.

🏛️ Hot Air supports the move: The push to impeach Lloyd Austin is justified because he abandoned his post, risking security and breaking protocol.

🏛️ But MSNBC disagrees: The GOP’s threat against Lloyd Austin is baseless. He made a mistake, but not an impeachable one.

🏛️ Newsweek thinks Austin should resign. The hospitalization scandal shows that he has poor judgment and leadership.

🎬 Mean Girls gets a musical-movie makeover

The new Mean Girls movie comes out tomorrow — will it be a hit?

🎬 Mean Girls is getting a musical makeover in 2024. Screen Rant says the studio's confidence in a theatrical release is a promising sign.

🎬 But a Redditor on r/Millennials disagrees: No one wants a Mean Girls musical movie, and the studio knows it! That's why they released it in January.

🎬 Still, Digital Spy notes that the movie has been a hit at early screenings. Fans and critics alike seem to dig it, especially Reneé Rapp's performance as Regina George.

🎬 Cracked points out that the movie has deep ties to Tina Fey — and because her celebrity has dimmed in recent years, that may affect the movie's reception.
