Meanwhile, Melania's immigration history - which has raised legitimate public questions - never gets the same scrutiny. That’s not about immigration law. That’s about power and who federal law enforcement gets pointed at.

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

Hoskins kicked to the curb Missouri law - statute RSMo §115.157 - MO's voter‑data disclosure limits. He offered to host an audit in Jefferson City, do it remotely, or hell - pack up the whole thing and hand‑deliver it to their offices in Washington, D.C. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump’s taxpayer-funded propaganda ads draw third lawsuit
It’s the third lawsuit filed in response to the campaign-style ads, seemingly created to boost GOP candidates as the party registers historically low ratings.

NEW EPISODE: When asked earlier this year if he regretted not seizing voting machines and ballots after the 2020 election, Donald Trump said, "Well, I should have." Now he's telling us exactly what he plans to do in this year's midterms, and this time, we should believe him. youtu.be/MBLiMjSXros

72 days. That's all the House worked because Mike Johnson repeatedly sent members home early when his razor-thin Republican majority ran into trouble on the floor. Even Republican Rep. Ralph Norman wrote on X: "The founders did not envision taking this much time off and still getting paid."

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
