I do think Democrats need to start introducing bills that make Trump pay for things like the painting of the Reflecting Pool....taxpayers should not be paying for this shi-t. He should.

Democrats were obsessed with the Mueller investigation until Barr successfully stamped it out in a weekend. But the right never let it go because Trump never let it go. Russia, Russia, Russia has always been his cover for all the leverage Putin has on him that's now being cashed in.

Iran’s top military command says it will strike U.S. and allied energy, IT, and desalination infrastructure across the Middle East if the U.S. targets Iranian energy sites — a response after Trump threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants within 48 hours if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

We are deeply concerned by reports that military commanders are framing the Iran war as “God’s plan” and invoking Armageddon in official briefings. Service members swear an oath to the Constitution — not to any religion. We are reviewing these reports and will demand accountability.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

Sarah Huckabee Sanders appointed 2 supreme court justices to "cement" court's conservative majority. Arkansas' constitution banned them from seeking a full term for their own seat. They decided to circumvent that by... running for each other. This Tuesday, one of them faces challenger John Adams:
