If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

Despite Blanches horrific statements over the last two days, Repubs will confirm him. Being Trumps lawyer - doesn’t matter. His treatment of the survivors- doesn’t matter.

Dems are not the same. Graham died and Dems are offering condolences. Meanwhile, Repubs like Trump celebrate the death like Rob Reiner and Robert Mueller.

Stripe magazine reports that Hegseth is not allowing men (mostly effecting Black men) to not get a medical exemption from shaving. This coupled with his denial or promotions and blatant firings should be enough to get him fired!

One of the best reasons to vote for Democrats in Nov is to get Mike Johnson out of his role as Speaker of the Procrastinators. To never hear him lie aloud again in his soft fake voice would be perfect!

At this point, Trump has been played by pretty much every country in the Middle East, from Israel and Saudi to the UAE and Qatar, and now by Iran itself. He’s like a Baby Huey in a world of grownups. He makes Jimmy Carter look like a canny master of geopolitical maneuvering.

Ken Paxton has so much time on his hands that he can interfere on Texas Tech football! After their QB got busted gambling on college sports to the tune of $90,000, the Big 12 sanctioned him. Paxton is threatening to sue. www.espn.com/college-foot...

DHS takes a bunch of people with zero training, gives them weaponry, immunity from the law (or so it appears), and tells them to be suspicious of the public. What could possibly go wrong?

Texas govt is blaming the National Weather Service for not informing them. However, warnings went out at 1,4,5am!! There were no systems in place to act on the warnings ! Plus the DOGE cuts to NOAA. Add these all up and now we have a tragedy that could have possibly been avoided.
