Tip for lawyers contemplating joining Trump's regime: You can't protect and defend the law & the Constitution if you're to be a successful member of Trump's team. The law, the Constitution & democracy itself are all held in total contempt by Trump and his people. www.rawstory.com/todd-blanche...

Sen. Roger Marshall has an ex-governors problem in reelection campaign | Opinion

Trump was able to persuade MAGA GOP'ers they could continuously harm their constituents with insanely destructive policies and suffer no consequences. The Trump tactic of overtly lying about the nation's economic and political situation no longer seems to be working; www.kansas.com/opinion/opn-...

There are eight living former governors of Kansas — four Republicans and four Democrats — and six of them have endorsed Adam Hamilton.

Tammy and Jim's set always looked to me like they lifted the whole reception area of a New Orleans bordello and plunked it down in their TV studio.

The second Trump presidency is a world-historic failure

I'd just like to (badly) paraphrase Hillary by suggesting it takes an entire political party to destroy a great nation, something we're watching happen in real time. It's one major event in U.S. history I'd just as soon not been around to see. www.noahpinion.blog/p/the-second...

How did Trump fumble so badly?

Democrats' task going forward will be to explain to voters that the worldwide political & military chaos Trump & the GOP are causing is the logical conclusion of the "Reagan Revolution" began in the 1980s. The right wing simply cannot govern because their interest is only in accruing power & wealth.

White House defends new press aide who posed with rifle in ‘Fuck Joe Biden’ shirt

Exclusive: Soldiers and Gold Star families press Army leadership after deadly Iranian drone strike

The near-total incompetence demonstrated by Trump and Hegseth in starting an illegal war with Iran with apparently no preparation to protect our military people and assets from counterattack would be unbelievable--if it didn't involve Trump and Hegseth. apnews.com/article/iran...

Oddly enough, she was apparently protecting her alimony payments on TV here in the Chicago market during today's Bears' game by asking Illinois voters to elect Texas Republicans. Somewhat puzzled but glad to see Senate Republicans wasting their ad budget so stupidly.

000

He not only says those things, sometimes several times a day, but the media is still determined to sanewash everything he says, thus themselves lying by omission. If they covered him as a politician and the President of the U.S. instead of a game show host, he'd be gone by now.

031

In an apparently desperate effort to save her alimony in the couple's pending divorce, Ken Paxton's wife was just in a commercial on Chicago's Fox station begging Illinois residents to vote for Texas Republicans in November. I won't, but your mileage may vary, depending on your party, I suppose.

000

It's all obviously illegal, but with Republicans in charge, there's no one to enforce the law. Which seems sort of odd for the Party of Law and Order when you stop to think about it.

000

Trump's greatest success has been selling himself as a master businessman and politician, when in actuality he's neither. He is, and always has been, an extortionist. His only tactic is to threaten and bully and when those don't work, he's got nothing with which to respond.

030

Why am I seeing political ads for that crook Paxton on my suburban Chicago TV while watching the Bears v. Jets? Is Fox unclear who can vote for U.S. Senator in Texas? Or are Texas Republicans so ignorant about who can vote in their own elections?

People keep assuming Trump's a businessman or a politician. He's neither. He is, and always has been, and extortionist. Extortion is his only tactic and when bluster and threats don't work, he's got nothing.

It's bad enough for the country as it is that modern elected Republicans are morons. That they're EVIL morons makes it 100 times worse.

Plus, by his total incompetence and apparent inability to plan, he's literally killing our military people. I'd also like to see RFK Jr. impeached. He's the other guy in this regime who's literally killing Americans with his criminal incompetence.

Mistaking a men's pro basketball team for a women's collegiate team takes some doing, especially when they were playing in totally different states. But Sen. Schmitt was obviously willing to put in the work to get 'er done!

It's going to be fascinating watching how the GOP will deal with the total idiocy on display at today's hearing. I suspect they'll just pretend it never happened, and with media complicity, consign it to a black hole.

Kennedy needs to be impeached, convicted, investigated, and then charged with intentionally endangering the lives of children and adults by actively encouraging the spread of communicable diseases, convicted, and imprisoned.

Let's not forget the Republican Party allowed him to do every single one of those things without discernible push-back.
