Missouri voters just blocked a Republican-led effort to raise the bar for passing citizen-led constitutional amendments. Under current law, ballot measures require a simple majority for passage. Amendment 4 would have required ballot initiatives to win a majority in each congressional district.

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.

😮 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:

SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏

While the latest headlines hint at yet another ceasefire deal, the Dept. of Defense plays games with the true number of dead & wounded. @markhertling.bsky.social delivers his blunt assessment of what's going on in Iran & why each loss of life is more than just a number. youtu.be/rTamGFJPfAU?...

FURIOUS Retired General TORCHES Trump Over WAR With Iran!!

El-Sayed: "They spent an unprecedented amount of money to beat us -- attack ad after attack ad after attack ad after attack ad, wall to wall ads. But it turns out that the commercials are the part of the television show most people don't want to watch."

Rick Scott on spending: "Government is the problem. It's not the Iran war." (Who is waging the Iran war?)

Trump's selfishness is sinking Republican hopes of seeming like they care about Americans. Listen to Rick Wilson on MSNOW:

Glad that all of this got resolved 100 years ago and none of these companies are alive to commit their horrors upon us in this modern age!

So now the next step is to find out what Capital One's months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience discovered about Trump's 300+ accounts...

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."

Trump: "Everybody saw the vandalism. All you have to do is look at the tape." (There is no tape. Trump is nuts.)

Wow. If this isn’t the mentality of Trump’s party in a sound bite I don’t know what is.
