Can there be a day beyond this night? Just do the next right thing

Leaked audio of Minnesota Republican candidate Michele Tafoya's advice to Americans concerned with skyrocketing prices: "Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks... Let’s just try to be patriots about this."

Just talked with a lifelong Republican in the Delta Sky Club at LaGuardia who was heading home to Dallas. He told me he’s voting for James Talarico in November. His words about Ken Paxton: “He’s corrupt as all fuck.” And he said he’s “ashamed” Paxton is the GOP nominee.

Trump’s insider trading is, on its own, the worst corruption scandal in US history, with $$$ dwarfing Teapot Dome. So are Trump’s bribes-for-pardons. So is the Qatar bribe plane. So is all the Saudi money he (and Kushner) have pocketed. And the ballroom. And more. Each alone would be the worst.

Again, you can always detect some faint embarrassment from Democrats when they talk about the ballroom, but “the president demolished a big part of the White House to build himself a palace with bribes from enemy powers” is, by an order of magnitude, the worst corruption scandal in US history

Still amazed that Eric Schmitt made the MAGA media rounds as if he wasn't thoroughly humiliated. Like Wile E. Coyote doing a press victory lap fresh off smashing into a painted tunnel.

Well done to Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar for calling out a despicable fascist republican and exposing his propaganda and let it blow up all in his face on live TV. It was a beautiful humiliation.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

Trump's DHS sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed were noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote. "On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

From 15,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle (Gift Article)

It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

I will never forget how every Trump voter stayed a Trump voter until they themselves were the next victims of his policies, until then, they cheered him on. The most selfish people EVER. Me, me, me, & what about me 24-7
