Trump, forgetting his recent effort to co-opt the issue, called affordability "a fake word, it doesn't mean anything to anybody." Just putting that out there in case anyone in an opposition party wants to use it.

Trump isn’t just owned by Putin. He wants to be like Putin. For that to happen, he must destroy the US as we know it. That’s always been the plan.

Dems in Congress should start demanding the list of names of all ICE “agents”. These people seem to walk more carefully when they know consequences may be around the corner.

NEW: Trump just argued that Jack Smith's final report — chronicling the criminal case against him for hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago — should never be made public.
Trump urged Aileen Cannon in a new court filing to permanently extend her order blocking DOJ from releasing the report.

Trump: Jack Smith classified documents report should remain secret
Trump’s request is a break from the Justice Department’s handling of all special counsel reports in recent decades.

I honestly believe the only reason Republicans are starting to sound like they have more values because midterms are coming up. If it wasn’t for that, they wouldn’t care.

Did I miss the vote on extending the ACA subsidies that was the hard won triumph that caused a group of Dems to vote to end the shutdown? How did that go?

Yesterday the Wisc. Elections Commission yet again dealt with a situation where a candidate only submitted 51 nomination signatures for a race that required 50 signatures. DO NOT DO THIS. No matter the # of signatures required, plan on submitting an additional 50%. 1/

You have until 7 to get in line to vote in TN-07 special election. If you are in line, STAY IN LINE, they have to let you vote. If anyone tries to tell you different record them and report them.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

As expected the negotiations failed. However, as this goes on, it is also important to understand why we feared Soviet balkanization in 1991 and why Biden feared it as well.

We can't afford to allow Trump to continue. The more they get away with their lawlessness the more lawless they will be. It's time for our former leaders in law, military and politics get their plans complete and start the takeover. So many Americans are waiting on real leadership to fight.

He can't stay awake. Or walk. Or speak. I'm so sick of the GOP denial. The embarrassing flattery parades. The complicit press standing silent while he drones on incomprehensibly or insults colleagues who dare to question his lies. Or laughing obligatorily at his non-jokes. I'm just so tired of it.
