Not only must we investigate and prosecute crimes committed by the Trump Administration, we must also identify and halt the corruption baked into the contractors.

If Kash is shocked by Donald's disfavour, how could we tell?

Yep. A day that ends in 'y' in the Trump Administration.

Donald has perverted what has traditionally been a non-political event into crass and cruel MAGA messaging. Trump is a monster.

Question: If there are vacant seats, does the threshold to pass Articles of Impeachment drop proportionately?

I see it more as acting from their conscience, which in these days of useless political consultants, I find refreshing.

After swimming in a sewage-tainted creek, being barefoot in an airport (and later seen barefoot on a plane) is a virtual no-brainer for Bobby Brainworm.

We watched it during the Summer Movie Series at the Ohio Theater in Columbus, complete with Prelude and Intermission. Still one of my favorite comedies.

If only Donald Trump could read:

I'm looking forward to the day where KKKaroline isn't proximate to power to freely make such unprofessional statements without immediate and income-damaging repercussions to herself.

I'd love to see prosecutions for the breach of personal and highly-sensitive information that DOGE enabled (perhaps at the direction of Musk and other brolegarchs).

The sad truth is that if *anyone* deserves to be reactivated and undergo court martial for their seditious rhetoric, it's Michael Flynn.

BREAKING: A federal judge has thrown out the criminal indictment of James Comey, ruling that Trump-installed prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and had no lawful authority to bring the case. The court found her actions violated federal law and the Constitutionโ€™s Appointments Clause.

I keep wondering how Howard talks with Donald's balls in his mouth, then I remember, it's easy because they're teeny-tiny. #TACO

The biggest breach of US government data is under way | TechCrunch Elon Musk's DOGE has taken control and accessed large swathes of Americans' private information held by the U.S. federal government.

Besides taking a wrecking ball to budgeted departments and agencies, DOGE performed wholesale theft of federal data, much of it personal and previously presumed to be secure.
