The agency built to protect the vote got gutted by DOGE, and the Trump admin asked what was left to hack a voting machine. In secret. Imagine if this came out about Joe Biden. Trump would call it one of the greatest crimes in American history. Full story covered in today's show, link in comments ⬇️

And the Pervert-in-Chief declines to a a damn thing..,

Where is Emmer buying $2 ground beef?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Emmer says Republicans need to talk more about grocery prices that aren't expensive: "Eggs are at pre-pandemic prices. Ah, beef is at, ah, less than $2 a pound for ground beef ... I think we have a lot to run on."

News from the Pedophile Party: Michael Whatley, the Republican nominee for Senate, tapped a convicted sex offender to open his campaign rally with a prayer that asked God to bestow “integrity and honesty” upon the event and to right wrongs “hammered down on the conservative movement.”

It's disgraceful enough of Donald Trump to skip the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, but to go golfing in Ireland instead—just to promote one of his properties—shows Trump's contempt not just for this solemn anniversary, but also for decency itself.

Five C-17s delivered King Donald the Mad’s Secret Service motorcade to Ireland: Cadillac SUVs, anti-drone systems, assault vehicles and emergency equipment – all for a 2-day trip including the Irish Open at his own Doonbeg golf resort. And US taxpayers pick up the bill for his private event.

Per today's CPI report, Trump's war with Iran has caused an inflation bomb: Gas prices are up 27% compared to last year, airfare is up 23%, and fuel is up a jaw-dropping 52%. We are all paying the price for his warmongering.

This past week: CHINA: Announced the discovery of a probiotic that reverses diabetes. USA: Made up the name of a lake without any legal authority. CHINA: Invented EV battery with 600+ mile range. USA: Used AI to create silly video of a fake battle in unpopular war.

As @kevinmkruse.bsky.social noted, this was the cover of the pro-free-market, not-progressive Economist one month before the election that brought Trump back to power. The economy had problems, hence the result, but a “total catastrophe” it was not.

So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.

If you are the DOJ, it is unprecedented to lose 17 straight voting cases in 17 different courts without winning a single one. It's even more remarkable when 8 of them were decided by judges appointed by Trump. How long will the networks ignore this? How long will Trump?

Kash Patel uses government jets to attend concerts and sporting events. JD Vance asked that a $16,000+/hour helicopter take his young son to a golf lesson. These people are supposed to SERVE this country, not treat it like a personal luxury for their own frivolous use.

I'm going to KEEP talking about how Florida Senator Rick Scott, the RICHEST man in all of Congress DEFRAUDED Medicare & is trying to CUT Social Security. Will you join me?🤚

Anyone else think of Colbert’s character with big furry hat who made stupid pronouncements from a balcony every time Trump posts?

1. This will become law without his signature, because Congress is not adjourning. More here: constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay... 2. Merits aside, this is a very rare bipartisan action. Voters like bipartisanship. By refusing to tout it, Trump once again punches himself in the nuts.
