President Trump is doggedly lending his support to Republican candidates facing a rough midterm season. He is the same campaigner he has always been, but his crowds have changed.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

"We ask women why they don't come forward when sexually assaulted. It's because we live in a world where an abuser can become president.
Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor.

Not one word for the victim.
