Judging by a quick look at Twitter, the right has decided just to pretend that Eric Schmitt did not, in fact, just shoot himself in the dick and that he totally owned Jack Smith.

New: Nevada GOP congressional candidate David Flippo has failed to file legally required financial disclosures for years. Previously unreported records raise many questions about the nearly $2.5 million he has reported putting into his campaigns. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I saw Wilber in ICE detention yesterday, in a wheelchair with a bullet still in his body. Here’s what’s next: He needs surgery. And ICE needs to cooperate with the independent investigation.

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins

In my new post & video I argue that Democrats will have an opportunity in these next six weeks to create a clear contrast between a patriotic party that embraces democracy and fights for our rights and freedoms and Trump and his party which has betrayed the country and fought to take them away. 1/

Usually when Collins gets upset by media - and that is her standard procedure - media, especially Maine media back down Not ProPublica as you can see below - and they have the receipts to back it up So this has got to be a especially jarring for her and her team

Google AI: Belarusian Lukashenko confirmed that Belarus has no free or available potash to sell to the U.S. because its entire production output is already fully contracted to other markets. This response follows Trump claims about securing a massive, discounted fertilizer deal to bypass Canada.

One of James Telerico or Ken Paxton will be the next senator from Texas. If you're telling people not to support Telerico, you're saying you want Paxton to win. That's it. You cannot select a different, third bespoke person to be senator like buying a tailored suit.

Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO. My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say. The new CDC Director is failing us.

The CDC left two measles-associated Pa. deaths out of its latest count after RFK Jr. sparred with Gov. Shapiro
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania of not cooperating with the CDC in its handling of a measles outbreak.

Most headlines refer to this as "misspent" or "misappropriated". Whether by a legal definition it's "stole" those other words GREATLY understate what happened. They took $10M of public money for childrens health care and laundered it thru a string of orgs to get it into a political campaign account.

To underscore why this is especially awful for those who may not know, the measles vaccine is usually given at 12 months. Newborns rely on community immunity to prevent exposure, which until recently we have had in the US. This quite literally could be anyone's newborn. None of this had to happen.
