Republicans' closing argument heading into November: please pretend our president is popular, ignore the gas prices, and if you vote for us, maybe there's $5,000 in it for you. It is not going well for them.

The Trump regime is airing ads with Trump vowing to cast out “communists,” and ending with “Paid for by the U.S. Government.” Taxpayer-funded propaganda is illegal, but do they care? And will this really help Trump? My write-up in the comments.

In many red states, it's simply a question of whether you can get Trump's endorsement. So we wind up with idiots like Eric Schmitt, Tuberville and Darline Graham, if she wins I mean, Georgia Republicans nominated Herschel Walker because Trump told them to, for G-d's sake. And he almost beat Ossoff

Senator Eric Schmitt is a fucking clown. He didn’t just ask Jack Smith if he was in Atlanta; he did a whole ass posterboard presentation trying to play gotcha, and it backfired because he doesn’t know how to fact-check. Missouri, do better!

Trump argues privately donated money means he doesn’t need Congress’ approval for his $400 million White House ballroom. Federal judges have disagreed, but the Supreme Court has put that judgment on hold temporarily. Here’s why “patriotic” donations still come with legal strings attached:

Is it illegal for the president to spend ‘patriotic’ donations on a White House ballroom or anything else?
