holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

@andybeshearky.bsky.social @govandybeshear.bsky.social It is time to name a successor. Even if illegal, it might draw at the people hiding the truth about Mitch McConnell’s status.

Actually they should ask “did Trump LOSE the 2020 election?” Trump hates being portrayed as a loser. I

Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Susan Collins is the Queen of the Meaningless Vote.

Probably got a 2-for-1 deal. At the very least filled up the punch card where the 10th one is free.

Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"

I thought the wall propaganda from term one was dead.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · yesterdayThe Trump administration is building a border wall through a levee system that protects a small Texas town from flooding.
Until Trump, the seat of the American presidency was a comparatively understated set of buildings, intentionally and thoughtfully designed to communicate the ideal of democratic modesty. After Trump, it will be a sprawling palace complex, caked in marble and gold. Repulsive.
He serves in the branch that the Constitution specifically charges with the duty of removing the President for criming.

If Jeannie Pirro got fired tonight it wasn’t because she was shamelessly incompetent and unethical—it was because she shamed Donald by confirming his unethical incompetence.
It seems like Caitlin Clark wants to play basketball and doesn’t want to be dragged into politics despite many people constantly obsessing over her. Some people are more interested in being athletes than activists. It’s her life, she doesn’t have to be who you want her to be.
This is such complete and utter bullshit on the part of Thom Tillis and John Cornyn. Giving the Trump crime family immunity from tax audits remains as corrupt as anything we’ve ever seen in this country. Todd Blanche should be impeached, not confirmed.
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d agoJUST IN: Tillis confirms he is on board with Cornyn to vote yes on Blanche for AG, after Blanche renounces Anti-Weaponization Fund in writing & asserts that the waiver of any past taxes due is limited to POTUS, Don Jr., Eric & Trump Org.
