Sure would be good if congressional and senate phones were lighting up today with outraged callers yelling at them about Trump helping Russia again and the whole televised firing squad thing. They're not going to do anything to cross Trump if they don't think their constituents care.

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

It is very hard not to have contempt for John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, who have sold their souls to find some fig leaf to support the worst nominee for Attorney General ever. The signed agreement is worthless without the signatures of the parties, namely Trump. The IRS break stands. Moral cowards.

When a president talks about skipping elections and floating an unconstitutional 3rd term, it’s not hard to see what this is and what it isn’t. Seizing election material in a state that already counted the 2020 results three separate times isn’t about election integrity. It’s about preparation.
