Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4h ago😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:
Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4h agoSCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
The White House Reflecting Pool may sound like one of the least important stories of the Trump era. But the Justice Department's failed prosecution of supposed "vandals" reveals something far more troubling: how political narratives pushed by Trump and his allies can become criminal cases.

Wow, that's a blast from the past. I remember years ago someone (maybe him) saying there was footage of multiple athletes dropping dead from COVID on the field. I feel like if that was real, we would've heard about it and seen the "video reels" & I always wondered where this nonsense came from.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRon 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."
Trump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)
Jeezus f**king Christ... In essence that ruling says that any time your side doesn't win an election, just ransack the capitol, and everything will be okay...

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation
A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.
60 Minutes Epstein Banking Story Vanished After CBS Ousted Sharyn Alfonsi, Dem Senator Reveals
Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.
I snarkyly said this in a comment but it is true. Stop complaining about the courts and start using them. Being angry on social media isn’t going to change anything. You have to bankrupt them and destroy their support. Isolate them culturally and isolate them socially.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
NEWS: For nearly 20 years, Epstein moved over $1B through the major banks. The banks looked away. Sen. Wyden’s 3-year probe exposes it all. But most damning? How Trump and the GOP tried to bury it.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.
Cornyn and Tillis fold and reward the guy covering for Epstein; the U.S. runs dangerously low on precision missiles; a House GOP abuse scandal keeps getting worse; and more. Your midday update is here:

Fresh Air had a reminder that the first Black Miss America had to surrender her crown after nude photos were published. First "lady" of the "party of family values" gets to live high on taxpayer dime after the whole world saw her nekkid. (Russian TV constantly shows the pix.)
The Polymarket doesn’t have the guts to actually let you place bets on whether Mitch is alive or not… This is about the closest it gets and it’s not looking too good for our boy.
FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.
Every court victory matters, but some are sweeter than others. Congrats to the Elias Law Group team and our client Senate Majority PAC for this well earned victory for free speech and the 1st Amendment.
