‘But I got road salt exempted from Trump’s tariffs’ is really the perfect way to sum up Susan Collins during the Trump era. While he does hundreds of things to hurt Mainers, she brags about one small thing she did to help her reelection, while doing nothing on the big things.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

The latest John Solomon attempt to deceive his rubes, a bunch of pen register reports targeting Susie Wiles, reveal a great deal of corruption. The corruption is all that of Trump and his aides.

This is quite the graph from a new retrospective cohort study in Neurology: “In conclusion, football is the leading cause of sports-related traumatic brain injury in children and young adults, and its risks are amplified by institutional promotion despite decades of accumulating evidence of harm.”
Figure one: age breakdown of traumatic brain injuries by activity. The graph clearly shows that American tackle football has the highest number of traumatic brain injuries.

Let's not lose sight about the big picture here. Courts keep telling Trump that he's defying the constitution—trying to end-run Congress and the judiciary—to keep his top prosecutors in half a dozen states. All to have loyalists decide who to criminally charge with what in a DOJ under his thumb.

Actually reviewing the checks that Chuck Grassley released yesterday to gauge how many people clearly asked Trump to do something other than pay Melania's dress designer with the money. Someone in the The Villages was using "Stop the Steal" by 11/20/20.
A $100 check made out to Trump for President, dated Nov. 20, 2020. The memo line reads "Stop the Steal" 

The address is mostly redacted but shows it was from The Villages in Florida.

In the same way Trump's insistence on making the Bunker-Ballroom a fire trap (with no ladies rooms) gives us an excuse to tear it down and rebuild it, Kash's refusal to protect the FBI from serious compromise gives us an excuse to just replace all the current people with the people he fired.
