Lindsey Graham has passed away after a brief illness, his office told me tonight.
The longtime senator and staunch Trump ally had just returned from Ukraine.
Will have more in a story soon.
This was perhaps the ultimate presidency-ending scandal when Joe Biden made the exact same, simple transposition mistake during what was otherwise a lengthy and detailed conversation about foreign affairs at a 2024 NATO summit.
Cool that James Madison envisioned everyone having a rocket launcher but the authors of the 14th amendment explicitly stating their intentions doesn't count for some reason.
Kavanaugh says that Constitution is an "enduring document" and that new exceptions to birthright citizenship can be added for "modern situations that were unknown or unanticipated by the Constitution’s Framers"
Correct. They're going to trot out a 7-2 decision that acknowledges the sky is blue and they expect that's going to make everyone forget all of this insane fuckery.
The Supreme Court must be reformed, and soon.
John Roberts will want you to forget everything that happened this week at SCOTUS after he confirms that the first sentence of the 14th Amendment means what it says, please do not fall for it
The Supreme Court sided with the maker of the Roundup weedkiller Thursday in a ruling expected to block thousands of lawsuits alleging it failed to warn people the product could cause cancer. https://to.pbs.org/43VOkVA
Hegseth at Normandy:
"Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not."
The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault, according to sources. https://cnn.it/4v8Kkwd
Andrew Taake, a registered sex offender who attacked police officers with bear spray during the January 6th insurrection, is applying for Trump's $1.8 billion weaponization slush fund.
Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.
I’ve had my fill of 80-something pols telling me what the future of the Democratic party looks like. Mr Frank will not be here to see it, so why should he dictate what it should be?
As the administration remains bogged down in Iran and gas prices continue to soar, causing a ripple effect throughout the American economy, I think it's great that Republicans are all insisting that their deeply unpopular president who made all this shit happen deserves his gaudy golden ballroom.
Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it.
One out of every five 2024 Trump voters supports impeaching the president, per our new poll out at Strength In Numbers. I was pretty surprised by this level of defection among the president's base. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-22...
Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people
Tucker Carlson: "It's vile. It begins w/ a promise to use the US military to commit a war crime. Those people who are in direct contact w/ the president need to say 'No. I'll resign. I'll do whatever I can do legally to stop this, bc this is insane. And if given the order, I'm not carrying it out'"
Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver for turning Jesus Christ in to the Roman authorities. But he made nearly 10 times that amount by placing a Polymarket bet accurately predicting the day of Christ’s death.
If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.
This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
McCormick: "We were horrible in Vietnam until we did Rolling Thunder Two, then we won. As soon as we do half-measures, we lose. The faster we get this over the better. If we seize Kharg island, it could be done almost flawlessly. If we have enough firepower, it would be very easy to defend."
A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

Genuinely hard to overstate how much of a strategic defeat it would be for the United States if the war ends with effective Iranian control of the Strait.
