Protect the #midterms! The #DarkMaga and #Project2025 policy of the GOP, the oligarchs (e.g. Peter Thiel) and the trolling felon in the WH looks like a preparation for rigging the midterm elections.

RAJU: Last week you were very critical of Biden's use of the autopen. But Trump admitted on 60 Minutes to not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire who pleaded guilty to money laundering. Does that also concern you?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that. I didn't see it. I'm not sure.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Trump did on 60 Minutes what he does every time. He spews a blizzard of lies, exaggerations and assorted other falsehoods, and if (as usual) the reporter isn’t equipped or doesn’t bother to push back, he keeps going.

Vance's public remarks cast his wife's faith as a kind of problem to be fixed, a soul yet to be "moved." It's the image of a husband proselytising to the woman who has only ever supported him. She gave up her career for him. Trusted him enough to make three children with him. This feels like betrayal dressed as piety.
The thing with J.D. Vance is, he may have been great so far as a husband, but he feels the pressure now, the closer he gets to the oval office. And instead of standing up to it, he's bending. Rather than defending his wife's dignity, he's giving in to the noise, treating his wife's faith like a political liability all while trying to please the MAGA base that treats it like a revulsive blot.
As a husband and a leader, he has a responsibility to do better. But he is recklessly monkey-balancing at best, and at worst, joining in on the religious harassment of his own wife. It's a terrible look. It reeks of weak morals and tacit betrayalβ€”in love, and in leadership.
