Axios headline: Scoop: Dominion Voting sold to company run by ex-GOP election official

This is not good

The story is actually worse than the headline. The ex-GOP official worked in Missouri with Ed Martin.

it’s always really funny when a reporter accidentally discovers that most creative professionals are not as lazy and intellectually bankrupt as they are.

Scientific genius

Gosh I sure hope her OB got that baby out of her placenta before it burst.

Trump: "We have the best economy we've ever had."

Rushing to the pharmacy to pick up my fat checks from Merck and Pfizer.

God help the U.S.A.

This is a good piece however tough it is to swallow. Trump's corrupt relationships with fellow corrupt actors in the middle east may have made it possible. Any respite is welcome. But while greed is a huge motivating factor, all the people involved have much deeper motives that money cannot solve.

I'm sure the Unitary Executive fanatics on the Supreme Court will have no problems when President Newsom (Pritzker, Crocket, Warren, Beshear, whomever...) finds it necessary to use the president's alleged inherent power to do similar, right? They're fine with that?

Fascinating moment in the power of DC Think. Democrats are clearly *not* looking for an off ramp right now. They’re actually saying this. Which is a measure of how badly it’s going for the GOP. It’s the GOP that is actually looking for the offeamp.

Ah, another North Korea-style Cabinet meeting where underlings take turns praising the great leader

I think some of the Lennon sisters are still alive.

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This is his attempt to muscle the Supreme Court.

I like it.

Uhm. Trump had a yearly check-up just 6 months ago:

"we are going to murder americans without due process"

This is the kind of free-thinking, hard-hitting journalism they're going to be getting at CBS soon.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

This is a dementia symptom called paraphasia.

kinda wild how we're leaping straight to late Ceausescu

The Daily Beast reported this at the time. It was always the only thing that made any sense.

He's doing this a lot these days. A word that sounds like the right word but has a totally different meaning.

I wonder if the six MAGA Supreme Court Justices are high fiving each other right now. They must be so proud of what they've done.

Trump says he has nothing to do with prosecutions...

Trump to a right-wing influencer: "Do you know the name of any of the funders? Because if you do, I'd like you to give them to Kash or Pam or Kristi as soon as you can. That's all of you. These are people that do not have good intentions for the country. That's treasonous, probably."

"Maybe you can look into that, Pam" -- Trump directs Pam Bondi to try to stop a planned anti-Trump rally in Austin

He's ready in numerous journals. Lol...
