So what he is saying is that if Democrats win the House or Senate in November, there is nothing they can do to rein in Trump? Sounds like a BS excuse to cover his ass.

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

It is exhausting reading every day about the evil things this administration does and yet nothing happens. Democrats can't hold them accountable. Republicans cheer it. The only partial stopgap has been some judges. What is there to stop the insanity and criminality?

If you are a candidate for the nursing home, you shouldn't be holding an office or running for one.

I'm betting Trump doesn't like the World Cup halftime show. Too many minorities are represented and they are preaching love. Two things he hates.

We have no irrefutable proof Mitch McConnell is alive. Republicans are playing games with information on his status. Stop playing nice and appoint a replacement or call a special election. It is the only way to force the truth out.

I am one of those decent Americans that stands with Canada. God speed my northern friends.

No matter how many proof of life photos they release of Mitch McConnel, nobody is going to believe he is alive until they actually see him speak or someone other than a Republican talks to him.

Fox aired Trump's speech on interference in the 2020 election. It's a shame they gave credence to his BS.

I don't buy a word Trump is saying about the supposed intelligence showing China interfered in our election or they tried to influence everyone to turn against him.

Susan Collins will say she is concerned that Todd Blanche won't be impartial and will act at Trump's behest. My guess is she will confirm him anyway.

I don't know how anyone else feels but I am not buying the proof of life photo with Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao in the hospital.

Which Senator or Representative is going to say they spoke to Mitch McConnell and he gave his condolences on Lindsey Graham's death?

It was a surprise waking up to the news that Lindsey Graham died. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Balogun or not, you still need to play defense. So far the U.S. men's team defense has been a sieve. Keep this up and they will be done.

Norway beat one of the favorites, Brazil. The first time they have made the round of 16. Just another example of how wild this World Cup has been.

What are they afraid of that they hide their face? Is it being outed for being racist white nationalists? Aren't they so proud of their racism they don't care if people know who they are? Don't hide like a coward. Show your face and let the world know who you are.

Dear Canadians, Much love to your national soccer team today from this American. Good luck. I will be rooting for you.

I don't agree with the call against Croatia that took away the tying goal.

Mike Johnson says he will allow all the grifting and criminal activities to continue unabated. Seem like the Republican Party is now the mob.

Johnson: If we lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body, and they'll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted. I run the protection program. We’ll take care of you.

There seems to be no bar too low for the Supreme Court. Their decisions are eviscerating civil rights and embracing Trump's policies. It is a gigantic middle finger to humanity.

If you could have lunch with one politician who would it be? For me it would be Obama or Mamdani. Both exude class.

Sad that we have the National Guard defending the reflecting pool but they couldn't protect the Capitol on January 6.

Ellison will take over CNN and kill the news there just like he did with CBS. There will be almost no viable American news channels on TV to follow. Most will be shilling for the Republicans and Trump. It is a sad day.

You have to love New Yorkers. They will tell you just how they feel. I think they don't like Trump. Just a guess.

New Yorkers absolutely hate Trump #Knicks

Someone needs to ask Mike Johnson why election fraud only occurs when Democrats win. They never suggest their was fraud when a Republican wins. bsky.app/profile/atru...

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

Someone needs to record the crowd tonight at the Knicks/Spurs game booing Trump and post it. Just in case ABC/ESPN block it.

I find it ironic Trump is trying to hold a Freedom 250 concert when he is trying to take away our freedom and cement himself in power. What freedom is he celebrating?

Take donations to allow people to remove the letters of Trump's name and give it to charity. Maybe something that helps immigrants. apnews.com/article/trum...

Judge says Kennedy Center board broke law putting Trump's name on building, blocks closure

A federal judge has ruled that President Donald Trump’s name was illegally added to the Kennedy Center and blocked the administration from closing the cultural and arts venue for major renovations.

James Talarico has to win against Ken Paxton. Unlike Paxton, Talarico isn't corrupt. We don't need a Trump rubber stamp and more corruption infesting Washington.
