This is what happens when you put super computers in the pockets of a bunch of rednecks with poor reading comprehension and then elect them to Congress.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Can’t MAHA if the lack of use is blamed on “fraud.”

Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

So this story is WAY wilder than I thought The Trump post I flagged this morning because it includes Natalie Harp is actually based on the Getty photo you can see below. But there is one key difference -- MONICA CROWLEY'S FACE HAS BEEN EDITED TO LOOK LIKE NATALIE HARP'S WTF is going on here?

We really have to consider the possibility that we elected the dumbest motherfucker in America. Twice. Do better, people.

Trump: "If I'm in an electric boat and I see I'm going down and the water is pouring in, so I know I'm going to be electrocuted, but 5 yards away there are sharks. Do I take the electrocution or do I go swimming with the sharks? I'll take the electrocution."

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can't even breath. That I will go out with my family, my friends, I'll do it any way - I don't care if I'm registered or not, I'm going to try to cheat like hell..."

Since becoming president again, Trump has promised: -$5000 stimulus checks via "DOGE dividend" -$2000 stimulus checks via "tariff dividend" -$1000+ checks via "savings" from expiring ACA subsidies -$5000 "dividend" if Rs win midterms No checks have been issued www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-magi...

Trump: "If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate...I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

I’ve never heard a Republican do anything other than deflect when you remind them they vote for the same candidates as neo-nazis

If the media is going to insist that politicians denounce their supporters who make extremist statements, I have a suggestion for someone a bit more important than a Twitch streamer.

My 4th grader can explain ranked choice voting correctly, by the way

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "They have ranked choice, which is a crooked form of voting. It's totally dishonest. They throw everybody into a hat and somebody backstage that nobody knows picks a winner. It's ridiculous."

With the promise that GLP-1 drugs, approved for diabetes and weight loss, can also treat ailments such as cancer and heart disease, the government is now exploring if they can reduce alcohol abuse among U.S. military veterans.

David Barton is a fake historian who wrote a book on Thomas Jefferson that was so inaccurate his publisher was forced to pull it from the shelves. Now Barton, and his son Tim, are advising Trump on his anti-Smithsonian crusade.

What would Jesus do? Would his teachings be more sympathetic toward an immigrant's baby or a right-wing politician trying to make us hate that baby?

When a politician dies, they weren't your friend, you aren't close to their family, they are not owed your polite fictions or any obligation to not speak ill of them. They were public figures who wielded immense power and their death is as good an occasion as any to say what you think of them.

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

The deeply unpopular president shrugs off a question about the midterms, saying that the Democrats are all communists and "this country is not going to have communists," and then he walks over to thunderous applause from the congressional Republicans who are about to lose their majority.

you can hear Senate Republicans applauding and cheering as Trump enters the room to have lunch with them

I keep seeing book banners framed as concerned parents. I've talked with dozens of political operatives who ban books, not a single one of them has been a parent of a child in said district. If they have offspring at all, they're 47 years old, and have been no contact since the divorce.

We aren’t talking about this enough. Trump’s lawsuit against his own IRS, the one that he settled to create the $1.776 billion dollar January 6 slush fund, was over the leak of his tax returns. But they were leaked when he was in charge of the IRS.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

REED: How many taxpayers' returns were leaked by the IRS in the 2020 breach? BLANCHE: Excuse me? REED: 405,427. One of them was Donald Trump, correct? BLANCHE: Donald Trump and his family. REED: And Donald Trump was president at the time. So it was his IRS that allowed this breach of privacy

Massie voted straight GOP the vast majority of the time. His only real break with Trump was over the Epstein files. Kentucky voters rejected the guy who wanted to expose the truth about a sex offender because Trump told them to. Think about what that means.

Yes, after his last film won 7 Oscars with an all-white cast, which still met the Academy's diversity eligibility rules, Chris Nolan cast Lupita Nyong'o to chase that elusive statue.

Alan Dershowitz on Epstein & Ghislaine: "There was no sex trafficking ring...They said he’s a pedophile because he had sex with a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old. That would mean he was a pedophile in Florida, but not in England." He then says Epstein's a "3 or 4" on a scale of 10 for sex offenders.

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

Fully understand the concept of an op-ed but @usatoday.com allowing Nicole Russell to normalize the tRump’s dismantling of democracy by saying the economy is “humming along” is disingenuous at best. Allowing a non-economist to wax poetic on things beyond her comprehension is not “journalism.” RAG
