Democrat misses their pocket, drops a receipt on the ground, Johnson (if he read about it): "Obviously his felonious littering proves he hates America and should be expelled from Congress before being summarily executed."

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

As AZ republicans go, he's not all that bad and I'm sure everything will be fine, and sadly this probably helps her, I just want that party and their ideology to turn to dust and blow away, and this keeps them breathing. tucson.com/news/state-r...

God I hate Arizona politics.

This is only helpful if you're a sovereign citizen with one of those secret bank accounts linked to their birth certificates and every bill is actually a deposit and you just write "nuh uh" in the bill and send it back and they get their money from your secret account at the fed.

Bessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

26-employee Texas law firm gets $150M to represent 24,000 children in immigration court

You could build like 10 FPD immigration only units for that kind of money. And have a lot more lawyers. Who know what they're doing. And have nothing else to do. JFC.

I think the framers envisioned spineless shitbags in Congress, but they just assumed everyone else in Congress would beat them with canes so they didn't have to write that specifically in the constitution. Probably should have.

BREAKING: The nomination of Trump's former personal lawyer to be Attorney General just advanced to the full Senate. Judiciary Republicans caved: All 12 Republicans voted in favor of Todd Blanche. All 10 Democrats voted against.

Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases

I reviewed court records from the last five years - and found a dramatic shift in how the Department of Justice is using a Civil War–era statute to bring conspiracy charges against people protesting ICE - so far against more than three dozen people in at least 10 cases. www.npr.org/2026/08/03/n...

She protested ICE raids. Then agents showed up at her door

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.

The President promotes Scotts Miracle-Gro in the middle of an Oval Office event: The best grass you can get. Scotts, you know Scotts? Scott's Miracle-Gro, they're doing it. They do great grass. I got to give him a plug because they did the White House for free.

New Yorkers had to subsidize the $117 million that the NYPD paid out for misconduct lawsuits in 2025 alone, even though most of them were never personally abused by a cop. Where's your worried op-ed on that one?
