I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ

Trump expressed support for the Iraq war as it started. He later criticized Bush for not stealing oil or doing enough war crimes (namely targeting innocent family members of insurgents). Then he acted on that vision of war with Iran, and it's failing badly. Enough Trump-absolving revisionist BS.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

Karl Rove says Republican Party is being taken over by 'Nazis'
The Bush-era GOP political operative also said Republicans would be winning the battle for Texas' U.S. Senate seat if John Cornyn was the nominee.

It's missing The Expanse, and "TV show" makes no sense. You can't lump together The Wire (tv show), Chernobyl (miniseries), and The Great British Bake Off (single-episode competitions). If you do, then might as well include the MCU and NFL too, because the criteria is "you can watch it on a screen."

Realistically, the best thing to do in this situation is stock up on food immediately (if any stores are still open) and then get the hell out of cities because the supply chain is about to disintegrate.

No one else in Trump's life gets the affection he heaps on authoritarian heads of state. Not his wife. Certainly not his kids. His degrading, tryhard desperation to join the club would be hilarious if he weren't the president.

This is absolutely right, but the key is that Republicans would be the ones to force the issue. Many Democrats just refuse to take the open shot at Musk. He's a ripe, rich target, and an obvious way to dramatize key issues and mobilize key voters, but some of them are still sitting on their hands.

If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

The key to getting low-information voters to vote for Democrats or just to sit out elections is to do everything possible to brand Republicans and especially Trump as stupid losers that are embarrassing to associate with. Make them the NY Jets fans of politics.
