Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Ethan Harper graduated from Harvard Law School and Andrew Ceonzo graduated George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. Both were in their school's chapters of the Federalist Society. Their involvement (if any) in Sen. Schmitt's line of attack is unclear. I've reached out to both.

CPAC Australia is calling itself 'NatCon' this year. It may mean more than you think
Sure, it's short for "national conference". But CPAC Australia would be well aware it's also the name of another very prominent European conference for national conservatism.

While the president is unlikely to face any consequences for his patently illegal, taxpayer-funded ads, it’s essential to remember he should.

my favorite part of reporting this out was the trump White House told us our reporting on the president privately calling them the “midterm ads” is “false” (it’s not), but they didn’t even bother denying — and yes we put it to them plainly and in bullet point form in the comment request — that…

The big lesson from the Biden era is that you can't be worried about what people will claim is politicized/weaponized/etc. They will claim that no matter what. None of that should stop you from targeting all of the corruption, and all of the enemies of American democracy.

Or the fact that it was Biden's DOJ that oversaw the prosecution of **Bob Menendez**—or launched the investigation of Eric Adams! None of that mattered. People screaming about the politicization of the DOJ under Biden continued screaming the same thing.

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day
