Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

KILMEADE: Inflation is up 3.7% & gas is up 9%. For people who say 'I'm going to vote for the other party,' what do you say? KATIE ZACHARIA: Well, the reason we're in this situation is Biden, so I would say President Trump has done everything he's been able to. You can't correct the ship overnight.

The amount of money the administration is promising in order to buy votes is significantly less than the amount of money it is taking away in programs and services. And it's OUR money!

The US Energy Department will announce $150 million in new funding for power lines in Alaska on Monday as Vice President JD Vance visits the state, where Republicans are fighting to hold a critical Senate seat in the November midterm elections.

Josh Turek @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social seems to me like one of the best candidates for senate.

Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR)@hcrichardson.bsky.social

He was totally impressive. You can tell when someone loves their state: he was ready with statistics and proposals to improve things both immediately and long-term. Whip smart and nice as well. And seemingly unbothered by the bonkers attacks on him.

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.

Trump: "The greatest ballroom ever built -- it's also a tremendous military complex with a drone port on top. Be careful. Don't fall over the edge. And only a Hispanic could survive that fall."

There's no real point in arguing with his mouth noises, particularly not when preaching to the Bluesky choir, but this is *noteworthy* nonsense. If the revenue were real (it's not), then it would be revenue *of the United States government,* equally available to a Democratic Congress to spend.

Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."

We absolutely, positively want a delusional, psychotic and psycopathic president talking about taking cities out with nuclear weapons. It’s all good, right? Nothing to see here, media?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

asked about gas prices, Trump says "if you want to see turmoil and a travesty, let them take out a city with a nuclear weapon ... let them hit us with a nuclear weapon"

Tough call here. Is it that he can't walk a straight line, or is it that he's purposefully pushing his wife off the red carpet so he can have it all to himself?

watch Trump walking here -- he can't walk in a straight line

BREAKING: A federal judge just said that Trump's order barring MS NOW, CNN, and Politico from the White House was likely unconstitutional and ordered the administration to immediately restore access to the three news outlets.

The next U.S. President is going to have so much work to do to rebuild what Trump has destroyed.

"A brand new CNN poll shows President Trump at an all time low in his approval rating... look at his net approval rating now with pure independents - it's negative 71 points! I mean, these are the deep depths of the ocean. You never see numbers like these. An 86 point shift away from the president!"

It's about time!!! 👏👏👏

Over 6 months into this war, and Trump has accomplished none of his goals. The Iranian regime is more extreme. Gas prices are still up. We’ve spent untold billions and lost American lives. Why won’t he say enough is enough?

TEXAS REPUBLICANS DID IT —63 DAYS BEFORE ELECTION DAY Tarrant County, they voted 3–2 to close 92 Election Day polling locations, cutting the number from 316 to 224. More than 100 people showed up to speak out before the vote. Republicans did it anyway. Closing nearly 30% of the polling places.

If something doesn’t happen soon, we will be left in shambles while the rest of the world moves on. We regress while they move forward with new relationships, new deals and better ideas. They are inspiring greatness in others while destroying all the strides we have made as a country. It’s sick.

This is what good public servants are forced to do when the GOP refers Jack Smith to DOJ for prosecution. Fauci’s lawyers were smart to give this advice but it’s regrettable.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

This is what happens when you elect a Reality TV Star to be President of the United States (and then allow him to fill his cabinet with idiots).

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

What they want you to believe: Wildfires = Canada mismanagement. What the data says: 335 million hectares burned globally in 2025. 3,955 fires in Canada in 2026 alone, 1,092,095 hectares in non-EU Europe, Spain, France, USA, South Africa, Australia. This is climate, not a country.
