Whitehouse: "Today I think is a sad and embarrassing day for this committee as it looks like on a party-line vote we are going to advance out of this committee probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of attorney general. Let's start with the Epstein files ... "

Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

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.

JUST 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. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

Bold choice to remind everyone what a nightmare Covid was as we struggle to find SAFE SALAD GREENS, two bags of groceries are over $100, and RFK Jr decides to meet this moment by launching a cooking show.

Rand Paul is a fraud. He founded his own ophthalmology certification board, the National Board of Ophthalmology (NBO), with his wife and father-in-law as officers. His “board” isn’t recognized by the major specialty board organization or accepted by most hospitals.

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.

Michele Fiore raised more than $70,000 for a memorial statue honoring Las Vegas police officer Alyn Beck, who was killed in the line of duty. She used the funds for cosmetic surgery, rent, and her daughter’s wedding. A jury convicted her in two hours. Trump pardoned her before she was sentenced.

FBI Director Kash Patel is planning a mid-October trip to Moscow. Can ANYONE think of a legitimate reason for him to visit Putin’s playground? I wonder if “consulting with his handlers” will be on the official itinerary? 🤨🇷🇺

😱 HOLY HELL: The Pentagon just admitted that nearly 100 US troops were injured in the last two weeks alone. Why has Pete Hegseth been keeping these casualties hidden? Do their families know? And where is Trump hiding them? This is beyond F'd up. November is coming...
