New, from me: Kimberly Guilfoyle was caught soliciting money for government favors. Normally we call that a bribe. If she is corrupt, it is only because she has adapted to Trump's corrupt environment, where everything is for sale. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...

The option of not moving on from "this is an illegal, unconstitutional outrage that should end his presidency immediately" was available to Peter Baker & every other journalist in the country, not only in 2019, but still in 2026.

I promise you, there are Democrats in congress right now who still believe it is possible to go back to before Trump. It is not. Republicans are spending Trump’s term as Vought intended. They are intentionally breaking government in as many places as they can to make going back impossible.

This is an important statement people, and especially elected Dems need to really understand. The current Republican project is one of destruction, by design. Yes, they have other goals, in RFK’s case he’s objectively pro-disease, but their primary metric of success is breaking government.

All these attacks on trans people are Nazi bs. The people making them don’t even believe them. It’s all opportunism to push fascism, an easy smokescreen for misogyny to hide how the biggest threat to women and kids are men, and specifically men they know. Anyone buying into it should be ashamed.

"We are not part of any political movement. And we are not attempting to further any political agenda." - says a right wing political operative in #SCOTUS robe who gutted voting rights, abortion rights, gave a Republican President king like powers in attempt to lock in right wing dominance. (1/2)

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said increasingly harsh criticism of the court from political leaders can be "quite damaging" to the institution.

"The criticism of the court by President Biden and justices by President Biden and his administration was very harsh. And President Trump has been very harsh," he told CBS News'

Alito said the court's job is to interpret the Constitution "as best we can" and apply it to the cases that come before them: "We are not part of any political movement. And we are not attempting to further any political agenda.""

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

2. Schmitt's story is part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of a coup against an investigation that, as Jack Smith said, "developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation."

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.
