Chuck Grassley makes a horrible MAGA Grand Inquisitor against Jack Smith. You can tell that he knows he's being horribly unfair to a good man at the behest of the Mad King and that his heart is not really in it.

I was taken aback that the Republican senate was going to question Jack Smith as that was giving him a forum to talk about Trump's brazen & obvious guilt in keeping classified documents in places like the Mar a Lago men's room. I learned why they are calling him this morning with Chuck Grassley

going full-blown MAGA loonie, cobbling together a tall tale about how Smith & his fellow prosecutors actually violated all the rights of the poor Republicans. This will almost surely blow up in their faces, as the Democratic senators will give Smith every chance to condemn Trump with the facts.

@djrothkopf.bsky.social On your recent podcast you said that Trump impounded something like $800 million in funds appropriated by Congress because he wants to control everything. No doubt that explains almost all of Trump's conduct but don't forget about the influence of far rightwing actors like

For this to work, the subsidy paid to the stay-at-home parent would have to equal what he or she would have earned on a job, minus the cost of child care. I find it hard to believe they would pay anything close to that. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/u...

How can the SCOTUS, even this SCOTUS with a MAGA majority, justify permitting Trump's illegal executive order, which should be a complete legal nullity, purporting to regulate state voting? This is extremely alarming. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/u...

Susan Collins has spent years cultivating her image as a “moderate.” Her fundraising tells a different story. A new Meidas News report reveals Collins recently attended a fundraiser hosted by MAGA mega-donors and right-wing power players.

@monacharen.bsky.social How can we take character into account normally when we are dealing & battling with the 100% scurrilous Trump & the pathetically weak & spineless Republicans? The primary objective must be to get rid of Trump & his MAGA zombies in order to save our republic.

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

@ms.now Why are you using a photograph of Susan Collins obviously taken at least 30 years ago?! That was a fovorite trick of the old Abigail Van Buren column in the newspapers. Show her as she currently appears. That's not unfair. It's depicting the facts.
