“A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.”
Beshear: "There's an argument that August 3 is a date where I could not later call a special. Those that are really pushing this are under the impression a Dem might be able to win. It's been since '92 that we had a Dem senator in KY ... not having McConnell show up isn't necessarily a bad thing"
GRAHAM: “We’ve done it — I almost cried. We’ve been pushing this for years… Trump loves blowing stuff up.”
WSJ releases a new doc showing dead Republican Senator Lindsey Graham laughing that he helped Bibi convince Trump to attack Iran and get us into another deadly costly war
The richest man in the world says stuff like “money won’t exist in ten years” and we’re still expected to take him and the system that props him up seriously
OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election?
CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you
O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election?
C: I'm not gonna get into that with you
O: You're not being honest or forthright
C: ...
Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct.
How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?
Ossoff: "We understand the president may be threatening to declare sitting senators illegitimate. If that's the course of action he pursues, he's calling GA voters illegitimate...he was humiliated as a committed lifelong racist that it was Black voters in Georgia who were instrumental in his defeat"

I think the craziest thing about Trump falling asleep during meetings is that everyone else just stands behind him and continues talking as if it's not even happening.
If people care so much about immigration and their second amendment rights why don't they do America a great service and move their families to the border so they can protect it on the front lines? I'll wait.
Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America.
He embodies the broken system we’re running against.

NYT: “Secretary of State Marco Rubio flattered the president the most throughout the 12 hours of analyzed footage.”
Congrats Marco Rubio for officially being crowned Trump’s biggest kiss-ass —according to an official NYT study. 💋 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
The grifter and convicted felon bought as much as $680,000 in stock of Eli Lilly, the maker of blockbuster obesity drugs, as the agencies he oversees undertook an agenda that largely benefited the company.

With Wemby looming for the next decade I have to imagine the thunder trade up for Caleb Wilson or go get Aday Mara to pair with Chet so the Thunder bring in more size to the lineup
“.. We spotted nine Polymarket accounts .. who made collectively $2.4 million betting almost exclusively on U.S. Military operations. ..
“.. Now, here is the crazy part. 98% win rates.”

So the Republican Supermajority breaks the law and violates the constitution to strip Memphis of representation — then Speaker Sexton strips Dems of committee assignments for daring to protest.
Welcome to Tennessee.
The Thunder secure their 2nd consecutive 4-0 series win and advance to the Western Conference Finals for the 2nd straight season!
They are the 11th team in NBA history to start the Playoffs 8-0.

This is the bizarro world the Supreme Court has created with its latest voting rights decision.

This is what tariffs were always all about for Trump. Not about revenue, trade, domestic manufacturing, GDP - it’s about giving himself the unilateral power to decide economic winners and losers on a case by case basis, with kings and CEOs coming to him asking forbearance..
Ben Meiselas on the Comey indictment: You frickin’ snowflake losers. I mean, aren’t these people just the biggest losers in the world? It’s a crew of snowflake losers. Who likes this crew? They’re weird. They’re losers. And they’re going to lose this criminal case.
ESPN unironically teases a segment on the 22 year old Texas Tech QB who is headed to rehab for his gambling addiction and then tosses it to 5 minutes of NHL prop bets for tonight.
I don’t what to say other than sports betting is a scourge and an epidemic among young men and needs to go.
Kash Patel suing the Atlantic over their recent article claiming he’s often a drunken mess, saying he does not drink to excess anywhere, is very funny when there’s viral footage of him getting hammered in the locker room with the US hockey team
CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks
