I’ve been wondering whether this was less about the shock of watching Schmitt get pantsed than it was about realizing that you’re the next Republican questioner, and your script was based on following up this accusation, and now you have nothing.

This is incomplete reprint designed to provoke. The bill had voter ID attached to it in order to get it killed, making it so Republicans could run this exact headline.

Why does Mrs. Yoko Hegseth want to watch 600 soldiers with specific height-to-waist ratios stick their asses in the air and dry hump a grass field while she has her yogurt and latte?

It's not that we're wrong about the law, it's that every single federal judge in this and several other states are guilty of misconduct.

There's a way yesterday's failed attempt to frame up Jack Smith for perjury could've been covered as part of the same story — the deadly serious abuse of the DOJ by Republicans to ruin the lives of who they perceive as political opponents — but instead it was like "EMBARRASSING WHOOPSIE"

Even if you earned a salary of $1 MILLION DOLLARS AN HOUR… it would still take you a year and a half of working full-time to earn the money this guy could afford to just give away. People forget how big a billion is, even compared to a million. And a million is something most of us will never see.

An Atlanta prosecutor engaged in misconduct, and yet you VISITED Atlanta. (He did not.) Curious!

Famous frame from Matt Bors' "Mr. Gotcha" cartoon, in which Mr. Gotcha, peeping out from the top of a well with a big shit-eating grin on his face, catches a haggard and downtrodden medieval peasant saying, "We should improve society somewhat," and responds, "Yet you participate in society. Curious! I am very intelligent."

Just thinking about Elon Musk’s brief moment as a trillionaire. Remember when we all thought of Mitt Romney as a super rich, moneybags profiteer? If you made Romney’s entire $250 million net worth as an HOURLY PAY RATE, it would take you two whole years of 40 hour weeks to make a trillion dollars.

We may never know the sums kicked back from the pirating of Venezuelan oil and gold. There will be no “accounting” for it in any traditional sense, and I think it’ll be virtually impossible to prove a criminal case against anyone for stealing it as a result (i.e., by design).

First, they don’t want it stolen. And second, maybe they don’t want it possibly commingled or devalued by Venezuelan conflict gold.

50,000 South Dakotans have health care coverage because voters expanded Medicaid in 2022. The initiative passed with 56% of the vote. So this year the GOP has put 2 measures on ballot: —one to roll back Medicaid expansion —another to require future initiatives like this get 60 percent.

AP: “I think I’ve tried to not have my allegiance to party make me blind to what may be a better path from time to time,” said Mary Ann Lynch, a Democrat supporting Collins. “Neither party, in my view, has a monopoly on the truth and how best to do things. So I think it’s really important to have people who will reach across the aisle.”
