I got this MAGA talking head all tongue-tied on Newsmax trying to explain why he doesn't think Max Miller should drop out or resign after being accused of beating his wife and child.

I'm joining the Democratic Party of Illinois this Wednesday, September 16, for a Defenders of Democracy Zoom on how to protect the vote, keep our communities safe from ICE, and build real local power heading into the election. More details at the link below 👇

Really good, simple ad from the Jackson campaign: "Billionaires shouldn't be paying less taxes than a teacher or a logger. It's time that your hard work paid off." He's going to win.

NEWS: An American tourist says Ken Paxton ATTACKED him and tried to grab his phone twice on a London bridge after he filmed the Texas AG strolling with his mistress, Tracy Duhon. The Trump-backed Senate candidate only backed off when the man's wife started recording.

The police presence surrounding McConnell’s home so suddenly is a fascinating development in this ridiculous saga. I would assume they’re trying to find a way to discreetly wheel him out so they can bring him in for a dog-and-pony show in the Senate.

Trump and Johnson are supporting a guy for Congress who said children were a "cum trophy," and you expect me to give a shit what some Twitch streamer has to say? Get the fuck out of here.

People are really freaked out about AI, robotics, and these data centers. Any politician trying to convince people we have to defeat China in some ridiculous arms race is going to lose that argument. Nobody gives a shit if they think they’re going to lose their jobs or worse...

I've been saying for months that Fetterman has already left the Democratic Party and will wait until the most painful moment to make it official. Likely in a potential 51–49 Dem split, handing control back to Trump. Plan accordingly.

NEWS: Ken Paxton's own former director of law enforcement is now cutting ads for James Talarico. David Maxwell is one of the whistleblowers whose allegations got Paxton impeached — then got fired for it. A judge awarded him and three colleagues $6.6M for the retaliation.

These Republicans begging Donald Trump to spend tens of millions of dollars to save their reelections while refusing to campaign with him are mealy-mouthed cowards who deserve to be voted out of office in November.

Trump allies are back on the Sunday shows arguing that we need full regime change in Iran, in case you thought this thing was close to ending. Republicans are once again falling back on their most interventionist instincts.

In the heat of the moment, I missed Pete Seat saying, "I'm sorry," to me after I mentioned living in Chicago. The derangement these people have for the best city in America is hysterical and delusional. Feel free to stay out of Chicago, guys.

Vivek Ramaswamy CAUGHT anywhere but Ohio — first in Vegas for a conference, then in New York for the US Open. How much you wanna bet he flew private again? This kind of shit is a big part of the reason he's losing to Amy Action.
