Welp. Tucker Carlson suggesting it would be good if Hitler had won World War 2 so everyone in the UK spoke a “European language” is quite the opinion. It was even a step too far for his guest, the Rather Right Wing Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Jan Crawford, the CBS reporter who interviewed Alito, attended Paramount CEO David Ellison's dinner in April honoring Donald Trump. A reporter who valued a reputation for nonpartisanship would have steered clear.

Trump Stops Using Luxurious But Defenseless Jet He Solicited From Qatar
The president has for his five most recent trips, including Friday’s, used the real Air Force One built for that purpose. The White House refuses to explain the switch.

At this stage of the game, if you're supporting Trump and voting for Republicans, I have zero sympathy for you. I'm sorry you're supporting a serial sex offender who's destroying our country. At best you're supporting a guy who's friends with the worst pedophile. Cry me a River!

A south Florida political journalist explains why GOPers are beginning to worry that Angie Nixon can beat Ashley Moody.

And like Alex Vindman, Moody is proving to be a terrible campaigner.
Moody runs and hides from the press and her campaign for the Senate is calling her opponent "Socialist Angie" over and over again. With gas prices high, the economy weak, an unpopular war, is that enough?

Talking to Republican consultants, they are worried about the Senate race in Florida. They still think Ashley Moody will win, but their confidence has waned in recent weeks. Moody does not generate any excitement and Vance's recent comments only energize the opposition.

As Republicans demonize 
@AngieNixon
, and JD Vance tells her "you don't belong in America," they run the risk of having it backfire. Nixon can be a compelling figure. Here she is getting emotional when I asked her to tell voters something personal about herself.

Jimmy Carter economy 74% 
Richard Nixon Watergate scandal . 71% 
GW Bush Iraq 70% 
Joe Biden Afghanistan withdrawal 62%

Here's your reminder that border czar Tom Homan, who is terrorizing hard-working immigrants, took $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting. The Trump regime killed the probe, and there’s no indication that Homan paid the money back to the taxpayers – or even paid taxes on the "income."
ms.now
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
