This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

Remarkable. A caller with a worldview entirely in line with the right still knows Johnson is to blame for abandoning his role in the Constitutional order.

Not noted enough that he's the worst Speaker in modern US history and the single greatest abettor of dictatorship not on the Supreme Court.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

At least three Trump cabinet officials claim multiple homes as their primary residence.

Bill Pulte is the so-called director of the Housing Finance Agency.

This unqualified political hack won’t investigate the extremists.

Opinion | America has gone from promoting democracy abroad to undermining it As foreign leaders are finding, Trump’s noninterference foreign policy is purely situational.

Trump demanded that Israeli prosecutors drop their corruption case against Netanyahu. β€œIt is INSANITY doing what the out-of-control prosecutors are doing to Bibi Netanyahu,” he complained. So much for not lecturing other nations β€œon how to live and how to govern your own affairs”! wapo.st/4nahJCH
