Put Jasmine Crockett in charge and you can count on it.

I know this must have stung for Jasmine Crockett, but I hope she will tell all her supporters to back Talarico in November. Personally, I would like to see her run the DOJ in the next administration.

Don't you hate it when you get called out today for contradicting the BS you spouted yesterday?

If that doesn't qualify him for a Nobel Peace Prize, what will?

Why do you think he got the chairmanship?

Interesting that they already note "reported irregularities" in the 2026 vote that hasn't happened yet. Is it because they are the ones who plan on "reporting" them, whether they exist or not?

Maybe have a look around the bathrooms at Mar a Lago?

To all those people who believed his campaign promises: "What's wrong with you?"

He has all the requred qualifications: He supports Trump with every breath he takes and never questions anything he says.

NYT: Trump fires Kristi Noem from DHS, and immediately creates a new job for her.
"new, and previously nonexistent, role for Ms. Noem: special envoy for the Shield of the Americas"
This is what you get when you hire the kid from the comic book store to make up job titles.

NYT: Brian Mast, R-FL “We have seen Iran as an imminent threat...for the last 40 years,”
And how does that qualify as "imminent"? Every day brings another justification for attacking Iran now, without Congressional authorization, and a contradiction of yesterday's justification.

If he doesn't fire her, he's supporting her conduct and her performance

Besides Tennyson's Idylls of the King, the best and most thorough retelling I have ever read is the Marion Zimmer Bradley series that begins with "The Mists of Avalon" and continues for three complete books.

A feeling, based on a fact that was made up, based on a rumor that was passed along anonymously, based on a meme based on a poll result.

Absolutely necessary, but not sufficient. That's only the beginning.

Stop calling it America First and call it what it is: Big Business First and screw the people.

For what? Security Risk? Were they afraid the kids would draw a doorway and escape like in a cartoon? This is just cruelty for cruelty's sake.

The defense industry in the US is benefitting enormously from Trump's adventurism. Their order books are already bulging and now the US needs to replenish its weaponry expended on Venuzuela, Yemen, Equador, and Iran (both directly and via Israel). Their campaign contributions?

Whichever Republican prevails in the runoff for the Senate seat that Cornyn currently occupies, he will be damaged and will have spent a fortune just to get to the November election. Like the Iran/Iraq war years ago, here's hoping somehow they both lose.

Talerico appears to have won the Senate primary in Texas. I think he could win in November, especially against Paxton. I love to see Jasmine Crockett take over the DOJ in the next administration. Let's hope she can stay in the House in the meantime.

When the sole criterion for the job is fealty to Trump rather than the Constitution

I thought the same thing happened in Talerico's district in Austin. Meanwhile Paxton wants the Republican nomination

Let me guess. They were planning to attack the US

Trump's priorities are enriching himself, promoting himself, and keeping himself out of jail. He thinks the Treasury became his property when he was elected

No, abdicating your Constitutional duties is shameful.

I don't think we will have to deal with any more Gulf area sportswashing for the time being. They are too busy with the fireworks displays.
