* It's unreal how terrible Trump's nominees are * DURBIN: You wrote, 'Feminists advanced a theory that rape is meant to perpetuate male domination.' Do you still oppose Violence Against Women Act? CANDEUB: I haven't really thought it D: In 2023 you did an interview & decried harassment laws ...

This highlights a profound impact of Trump — the further normalization of violence against women. Trump got elected in spite of his long history of violence against women. He is not held accountable when he continues to abuse women. 1/2

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

If you thought John Mitchell or Bill Barr were bad… just you wait.

Bessent on the justification for Trump's tariffs: "The emergency is stopping the emergency" (You can see why the Supreme Court ruled that these tariffs were illegal ... )

Translation: Congress is over. Republicans have scrapped it. It is now as useless as the Russian Duma. Sad. 🇺🇸

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Any Senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche is also siding with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell – and is actively participating in covering-up their numerous and heinous crimes.

Proud to be a Kansan and to vote NO on the constitutional amendment so we can keep billionaires and PACs from determining our state Supreme Court. 🗳🌻 #KS #VoteNO

Trump voters were promised two things: no more foreign wars and Epstein files. Congratulations, you got both.

All that’s left for Max Miller at this point is to publish a book called, ‘If I Did It.’

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

Sooo...are they holding back on the announcement about Mitch to give some sort of appearance that his staff hasn't been committing crimes? 🤷‍♀️

...wut?

😳 Rep. Pete Stauber indicates there's something gravely wrong with Tom Emmer's health: "You have no idea what Congressman Emmer is dealing with right now. If you did, you would've never made that comment. He's fighting for his damn life today!"

A lot of people who died of COVID despite ivermectin would like to have a word but they’re a little too dead.

Ron Johnson: "Aaron Rodgers was smart enough to take ivermectin when he got covid ... unfortunately, more people didn't follow him. We wouldn't have had as many of athletes falling unconscious, sometimes dead on the field of play. You've seen the video reels of this happening in 2021."

the accuser here has been a gigantic fan of trump and the gop, and this is what it’s currently doing to her

NN: The abuse allegations against Rep. Max Miller -- Moreno says he should resign, but President Trump disagrees. Do you think Miller should step down? REP. JIMMY PATRONIS: No. I agree with the president. This is a family fight. Unfortunately, divorces are messy. There are two sides to every story.

This is why people don’t report domestic abuse. The cops love to say “This is a family fight” and “there are 2 sides to every story” until the abused party winds up dead.

The idea that a war only exists if there are casualties does not appear in the text of the Constitution. Nor does it appear in Madison’s notes on the Constitutional convention debates. Nor is there evidence it was discussed in ratification debates. It is made up.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Sen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."

At this point, Thom Tillis has nothing left to lose but his principles, so he made sure to toss them overboard too.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Tillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"

Booker: "They have become so obsessed with the millions the Bidens made that they have ignored completely the billions of dollars the Trump family is making. That is like being obsessed with a stain on the living room carpet when behind you is a mountain of excrement."

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."

He serves in the branch that the Constitution specifically charges with the duty of removing the President for criming.

the intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation

I’m sorry, isn’t this guy always yapping about the financial markets? The ones that are on Wall Street? In New York City? You know, probably the bluest city in the country?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

I think I have more Capital One accounts in good standing than the Trump Organization. I definitely pay more in taxes. Do I get audit immunity or nah?

Cornyn lost his primary. Tillis is walking. Neither has a donor, a term, or a future to protect. Both caved before lunch Monday. www.JackHopkinsNow.com

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.

Considering that most cities are blue, he is just saying he hates America
