Attorney General Todd Blanche says the federal government should play a role in elections. That’s not what the U.S. Constitution says. “The federal government plays only the role that Congress gives it. Period,” Marc Elias says. Help us protect free and fair elections: demdock.com/3T3Owjg

My new thing is that when someone asks me what I think about 2028, I ask them what they think about 2026. Because this November is the next election. Focus. There'll be plenty of time to talk about 2028 after we're done celebrating over washing Republicans out of Congress this November.

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

Commenting on something Trump posted online by saying that it was likely written by someone else adds nothing to the conversation. I don't give a rat's ass how Trump authors the content he publishes under his name—if he published it, he said it. Stop focusing on conspiracy theories about authorship.
