Can we get someone like George Soros to give $1 million to the first reporter who says “Bullshit” when the narcissistic sociopath say something that is demonstrably false? Or maybe we just start a Go-Fund Me campaign.

Q: There's a report that Ken Paxton was complaining about your midterm convention. He felt like it hurt him. What's your reaction? TRUMP: Well, I haven't heard that, but I can tell you that the convention was amazing. We had 107 million views. The NFL had 25m. We had four times what the NFL did

How dialed in is Greg Rousseau right now? I present him long arming two defenders on opposite sides to free up his 'backer to help make a key stop on 3rd-and-7 in Bills territory. It's more than just the pass-rushing production.

"The free press in a democracy, sir, but for now I happen to work for [insert outlet here]" I agree.

@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social This "Who are you with?" shit has to stop. "Who are you with?" "The United States of America, sir. Who are you with?" The first journalist to do this should get our nation's most prestigious journalism award.

Dems need to stop treating this as the end of the fight. Continue oversight and impeachment., Pursue disbarment. For Todd and those who do his bidding this must be a career ending era.

Just because she's a "no" vote today, doesn't mean Susan Collins has given up her place next to these 3 spineless poltroons (or every other member of the Senate GOP caucus except maybe Susan Murkowski

A special place in hell for Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis. The only good R is a defeated R.

They are a moral disgrace.. and this is what they do when they are NOT running for re-election.

Adam Kinzinger@adamkinzinger.substack.com

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.

This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...

Extraordinary to realize this was written 6 yrs ago, and yet this country gave the felon another chance

"The ugly meaning of collaborator carries an implication of treason: betrayal of one’s nation, ideology, morality, values. It was Graham who played golf w/Trump, made excuses for him, supported the president even as he slowly destroyed the American alliances that Graham had defended all his life."

He became a caricature, a complete toady to the man he had eloquently portrayed as a menace, warning the Republican Party that Trump would destroy it. Trump did, and destroyed Graham and decency at the same time. I wish I could say something nice about Lindsey now. I can’t.

Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country. Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!

Don't forget about Roberts authoring 2 decisions contracting each other- ON THE SAME DAY🤯

Josh Marshall@joshtpm.bsky.social

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

The rumor is donnie plans on attending a Knicks game in NY. If he shows up the fans should chant PEDOPHILE nonstop until he leaves. That would make the news worldwide and grind his ass to no end. Get er done NY.

Will Bunch@willbunch.bsky.social

It speaks so badly of our attention economy that John Fetterman is the topic of endless conversation for being an unhinged jerk, while Andy Kim from right next door gets such little hype for being a decent human being

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.
