I know this is shocking, but it never seems to work out for them when Republicans bring right-wing internet conspiracies into courtrooms or committee hearings where the opposition actually gets to see their “evidence” and respond to it. They fare much better with the cultists on X.

According to Trump, Iran wants to make a deal badly and is begging to surrender to him because they are completely destroyed but he doesn’t want to accept that so the war must continue and he will bomb them again very strongly and powerfully right after the midterm elections.

Rahm Emanuel, who has about a good a chance of being president as I do, has been profiled like 9 times in the last couple months in major newspapers. It really shows you how profoundly out of touch the people are that drive much of our national political discourse.

Earlier this summer, the Trump administration claimed that there were more than 15,000 noncitizens voting on Nevada’s voter rolls. Last month, that number shrank to 185. Now it’s zero—a perfect example of the administration’s frantic, fraught effort to find voter fraud that doesn’t exist.

Republicans choosing to distance themselves from President Donald Trump ahead of the 2026 midterm election was somewhat inevitable, given how historically unpopular Trump is.
