It amazes me how powerful Biden was. He was so powerful, that he still controls this country, economy, world politics, etc. Trump still cannot do anything to reverse Biden’s effects? I thought Biden was sleepy, low-energy and didn’t accomplish anything?

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

Behind the FBI’s Maricopa County probe: A debunked ‘audit’ funded by election deniers The chaotic audit reaffirmed former President Joe Biden's victory in Arizona.

What do Fulton and Maricopa County have in common?

They’re both facing FBI probes based on conspiracies that could open a Pandora's box of litigation challenging the results of the 2020 election

What’s worse? These investigations could empower the GOP to challenge the 2026 midterm results.

Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

"It’s almost as if Trump felt that, as a would-be dictator, he had to have his own nihilistic war, just like his idol Vlad Putin. But Trump’s 'excursion' against Iran is nothing like Putin’s years long 'special military operation' against Ukraine — it’s actually more stupid." — @davidrlurie.com

‘RINO hack’: MAGA melts down over Thune’s SAVE America Act ‘betrayal’ Leading the charge is election denier Cleta Mitchell, who has spent days unleashing increasingly unhinged posts on X accusing Thune of sabotaging the bill.

NEW: Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said he’d bring the SAVE America Act to the floor for a vote next week. Now, MAGA is furious.

Why?

The top lawmaker refuses to use a Trump-endorsed move to overcome a Democratic filibuster, likely putting a final coffin in the measure.

Our bill sends a clear message: Companies should maintain strong anti-corruption practices.

Trump may be going easy on corporate crime right now, but foreign bribery will be investigated and prosecuted.

In blow to Trump DOJ, judge disqualifies ‘triumvirate’ leading U.S. attorney’s office in NJ The judge said the DOJ's defense of the triad was an "enormous assertion of Presidential power."

NEW: A federal judge ruled the DOJ’s replacement of Alina Habba, the former interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, with three separate attorneys was unlawful.

The ruling marks the latest blow in Trump's effort to bypass Senate confirmation to install loyalists in top U.S. attorney offices.

James Talarico in first interview since his primary victory:

My faith teaches me to love my neighbor as myself.

Texas has a deep hunger for a different kind of politics rooted in love. The old politics of total war is dying, and we are building a movement to take on this broken system.
