With "issues" being dropped daily, leading to a big one: false argument that election integrity is compromised, leading to attempts to either cancel or take federal control over elections. Likely combined with election day ICE antics at Dem-favored polling places in vulnerable states like Texas

It's tempting to see Trump's Alaskan adventure as more electoral skullduggery. But it's a dangerous escalation of his attacks on democracy. He's not trying to suppress votes, he's trying to steal votes that have already been cast. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

So Larson gets away with going below yellow line? Exact positioning that has gotten people moved to last car in lead lap. But crickets from NASCAR, or course since Hendrick car. And announcers of course silent.

Americans, please don’t worry about your child coming home from school a different sex. Worry about your child not coming home from school because they were shot to death.

Cassidy Hutchinson’s crime was providing honest testimony about what an unhinged lunatic Donald Trump is. This made the thin-skinned twit angry.

$90 Social Security payment popped up in my bank account this AM--no explanation, no notation. Beyond the absurdity of thinking this would be an effective bribe to vote Republican, these fools don't even know how to properly take credit, or even explain why the payments are being made.

Only in a government run by Trump and a State Dept run by Rubio can an unqualified grifter like Kim Guilfoyle remain Ambassador to Greece after all the scandals that have come out just in the last week. But she obviously has A LOT of dirt on the president’s son, so tough to fire.

Yesterday, Pete Hegseth spent part of his “State of the Force” speech focused on culture wars. Then he announced a 20% cut to America’s top military leaders. That’s not a small change, and I have a lot of questions about how this could impact our national security.

We elected the absolute worst of us who surrounded himself with absolute clowns. Like this punk.

Hegseth: "The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in, with testosterone testing on top."

This is perfect. Hegseth grew up in Minnesota, went to Princeton undergrad and Harvard grad school, but of course he would cosplay as the humble country boy at Texas A&M, the school for people who want to cosplay as military warriors. Neidermeyer University

I just got back from Ukraine—a country fighting every day for its survival. Then I came home to this: a Putin-linked Russian oligarch paid hundreds of thousands of dollars toward Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding celebrations. Don Jr. says he’s simply a close friend. Uh huh

Mike Johnson never has had any moral center. He has no love for any part of the Bible that doesn't include stoning. And Herrera is the R trying to replace the guy who cheated on his wife with a staffer he drove to suicide. This is who the GOP is.

Sean Duffy: “I have a hard time believing in the government anymore.” Rachel Campos-Duffy: “We don't trust the government.” Katie Miller: “I'm still distrustful of the government.” Plot twist: They ARE the government.

What a "Christian". Could be biggest hypocrite of them all.

GOP Rep. Max Miller reportedly held a gun to his ex-wife’s head, beat her, poured hot water on her, and fractured their daughter's collarbone. Sounds bad, but Mike Johnson will still back him. “He has some issues in his personal life he's working through.”

Jeff Tomczak calling something the sloppiest murder prosecution he's ever seen is beyond ironic. He wrongfully prosecuted Rolex Fox's father, refused to release after exculpatory evidence was found, and cost county millions in settlement. Still a POS.

On Wednesday, attorneys for Jon Hansen, 26, once again told Will County Judge Jessica Colón-Sayre that they keep receiving late discovery from prosecutors as they prepare for a jury trial scheduled for Aug. 31.

Elward and Towne are two of the biggest clowns around. Look at Towne's history in La Salle County, chasing deer protectors and setting up an illegal I-80 profiling program. And Elward's fishy decision making in Will County cases is "interesting"

The agency housing the elite Special Prosecution Unit is deeply entangled in Illinois politics and got a legislative ally to write it out of the state’s public records law.

I remember when Bill Clinton—a FORMER president—met Obama’s sitting AG on an airplane and it was a massive scandal. Now, here’s Trump’s new AG just doing Trump political rallies like it’s NBD.

The reason why Trump and his cabinet officials are so crazed about hunting down leakers is simply because they don’t want the American people to know what they are doing because they are insanely corrupt & incompetent. The lengths they go to cover everything up also proves that.

We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.

He's just another low-IQ thug in a Trump suit who can barely speak coherently presiding over an agency that murders people routinely while he covers it up. This is an utterly lawless regime of gangsters. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Yesterday's court decision didn't end the fight over birthright citizenship. It made one thing unmistakably clear: Trump and his allies are not giving up. This has never been just about immigration. It's about who gets to decide who counts as an American. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

open.substack.comWhy Trump Won't Stop Until He Ends Birthright CitizenshipThe pattern is always the same: wrap bigotry in legal language and claim you’re protecting “real Americans.”

With seven decisions with the *same* 6-3 lineup over the last three days, I really can't wait for all of the hot takes from the folks who keep insisting that #SCOTUS *isn't* defined by its ideological division.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservative court basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans. An absolutely mockery of the law and a stain on the court.

Texas can now require the Ten Commandments be displayed in public schools, a U.S. appeals court ruled. Texas AG Ken Paxton, no stranger to VII. said, “a major victory for Texas and our moral values.” Kids, see if you can match the pictures to the Commandments. (V. is excluded out of respect.)

Donald Trump illegally launched a war in which he murdered hundreds of children and likely thousands of other civilians, achieved no discernible goals, and handed the United States a stunning, unequivocal strategic defeat that massively empowers the Iranian regime and makes Americans' lives worse.

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

At this point, you don’t even have to look at a calendar. You can tell the day of the week by following the news. Once a fake story about Trump being “close to a deal” drops, you know it’s Sunday and the futures markets are opening soon. When Iran responds and says it’s BS, you know it’s Monday.
