The heartlessness here from the Republican operatives in judicial robes in Roberts SCOTUS is unimaginable yet not surprising. Just keep that in mind when you hear any member of the elite media attempt to suggest that Roberts Court is reining in the Trump regime.

Who knew Schmitt is just another incompetent Republican boob who gets basics of sports team wrong. In other words - Vance/Schmitt is indeed the perfect dumb and dumber pairing for MAGA. Nice work AXIOS lmao.

"Jason Furman, Barack Obama’s chief economist, described him as a “credible Treasury secretary who has a real understanding of the global economy”. But Bessent has now transformed himself into the Baghdad Bob of bonds." Why should anyone be surprised? Shame on all (Sen.) Dems who fell for his BS.

Seeing some beltway horse race journalists itching to give Trump a comeback narrative. Take Playbook PM, which insisted Trump’s economy is “surging” despite Trump having both higher inflation & higher unemployment than when he took office. On manufacturing jobs: Biden: +775,000 Trump: -62,000

it's also telling how certain elite political newsletters (mostly based in DC) immediately run with this hackish takes from consultants as if they are reasonable political analysis that doesn't pass the smell test. It underscores the bubble of delusion engulfing the Acela corridor.

Conservatives for decades put ferocious pressure on SCOTUS by relentlessly whining about "activist judges" (making the right decisions). This time, progressives need to keep calling out these GOP operatives in judicial robes ruling on vibes. As you can see working the refs - works.

Neat trick from Senate Republicans: pretend they are running away from Trump in the national media and then turning around to keep voting for him. Just days ago Kennedy voted to keep Trump’s endless war in Iran going.

Now now … USC alums need to take it easy on Riley. Riley has done well under immense - often unbearable pressure that exists at Southern Cal. Trojans are number 12 and undefeated and I am convinced Riley will get them to promised land in next 5 years. Rome (or Troy) wasn’t built in a day you know.

#UCLA football’s biggest road win in 71 years. Bob Cheney becomes the only second UCLA coach to start 4-0 since the legendary Red Sanders and here is the thing: Bruins could have played much better today (should have scored 70). We move. Oregon up next. #GoBruins
