Yeah, this man should not be allowed to practice law, and any failure to take away his ability to practice law after all of this would be a part of the end of the rule of law in America.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Americans are spending an extra $878 million each day on gas and diesel than before Trump took us to war. That’s an extra $6.14 billion per week. Take a bow Donnie, you incompetent fool. #Midterms #VoteBlue

"We gotta put a big bed sheet over the Statue of Liberty. It should be a white sheet. And have a point over the top of her head. And two eyeholes. And Instead of a burning torch, she should be holding a burning cross. That would make the Statue of LIB-erty for more acceptable to godly Republicans."

Nehls: You have to love our country. This is what we gotta do. We gotta put a big bed sheet over the Statue of Liberty. She gotta go to sleep for a while. I'm not saying she's dead. Instead of having a torch, maybe it needs a stop sign.

Reminder to Colorado journalists: if you’re interviewing a winning candidate who usually claims that elections are rigged, ask them why this election was rigged in their favor.

Did we ever get back the People’s property he stole during his first term? And all the classified documents? And what did he bury in Ivanka’s heavy coffin?

Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions. Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company. Unprecedented corruption.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

This is unprecedented. A company owned by the President's family, is seeking approvals from a federal agency over which the President has total control — including to hire & fire the people granting approvals. The company, the deal, the entire process is corrupt to the core.

Trump wouldn't need immunity from his SCOTUS for criminal behavior it he weren't engaging in criminal behavior. Trump wouldn't need immunity from his DOJ for tax fraud it he weren't engaging in fraud. Trump wouldn't need Florida's AG Pam Bondi to ignore consumer fraud if he hadn't engaged in it.

Rep. Raskin: "Donald Trump's name is all over the underrated #EpsteinFiles... thousands of times." "If you spend time with these files you’ll see references to 17, 16, 14, 11, 10, 9-year-old girls." To make progress and find justice, we must listen to the survivors.

As someone who drove through this exact spot yesterday, I would love for the Secretary of Transportation to stop crying about the tragic loss of Spirit Airlines and instead focus on the airlines that might turn us into spirits.

Florida will be the eighth state to redraw its congressional lines this cycle. Gov. Ron DeSantis released a proposed map that would create four new GOP seats an aggressive move that directly challenges anti-gerrymandering language in the state constitution.
