Honestly, at this point, Democrats should be thrilled with this -- Miller has set himself on fire and if the GOP wants to hold him close, so be it.

Mike Johnson tells Politico that he's standing behind Republican Max Miller — despite the "serious" domestic abuse allegations against him.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu

funny how that works

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

'60 Minutes' Epstein-banks story vanished amid CBS upheaval under Bari Weiss: report

A new Senate report on Wall Street banks' handling of Jeffrey Epstein's finances calls out President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary, a Republican senator, and the Bari Weiss-led "60 Minutes."Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) sat for an interview in March with then-"60 Minutes" correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi to...

as low as my expectations have become I still didn't think an abuse story about somebody breaking a little girl's bones would get worse but that appears to have been naive of me

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation

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

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

Schiff: "This is someone who has violated his code of ethics blatantly, misled this committee, supported establishment of a fund for cop beaters, covered up docs implicating president in the Epstein files, use DOJ to enrich the president. Is this who we're prepared to confirm as AG? It appears so."

This is what a decade of Trumpism has encouraged -- a GOP gubernatorial candidate in Colorado who's unsure of how many people he's killed but positive that his Jewish opponent is a tool of Satan. These people were in the tent before, but the rest of the party seemed embarrassed about them. No more!

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

The In-N-Out Burger shooter comes from a family immersed in Trump propaganda. The shooter loved General Flynn, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. He was pro-natalist and wanted to join ICE, but didn't have a college degree.

The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male. Shocked.

BREAKING: 56 bipartisan former judges urge SCOTUS to leave Trump's mail in voting EO blocked The EO is anti-voter & anti-constitutional. POTUS is attempting to seize power he does not have @democracydefendersfund.org @campaignlegal.org & Platkin LLP are proud to rep the judges

CNN’s Harry Enten: “This is the best polling Texas Dems have had in a Senate race this century. Talarico's chances are very real. He's polling ~10 points better than O'Rourke (2018) was at this pt. Paxton's net favorable is ~15 pts lower than Cruz was (2018). Trump's much less popular than in 2018.”

Okay! So hello. My name is Allison Gill. For the last 9 years, you’ve known me as Mueller, She Wrote. I used to have to be anonymous. But not anymore. So, hello world!

Changed my name from Mueller, She Wrote to my actual name, Allison Gill. Hoping I can get my blue check back. @joshpetri.bsky.team can you help?

Meanwhile, the United States has already seen more than 4 million acres burn in 2026, with over 42,000 wildfires reported nationwide. #SaveUSFS

The Trump administration says it isn’t trying to destroy the U.S. Forest Service. Let’s look at the facts. Over the past year, the U.S. Forest Service has lost nearly 7,000 employees through layoffs, buyouts, and other workforce reductions roughly one-quarter of its workforce.

Trump forgets the word for video: "We have photographs, or tapes... Like, moving cameras, right?"

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.

When those in power disdain integrity, science and probity in favor of fabulists, cronies and quislings, tragic consequences will almost certainly follow Two people in Michigan have died from issues related to cyclosporiasis. 193 have been hospitalized. In all, there are over 11,000 reported cases

RFK Jr: Trump wanted to end lockdowns. In Fauci's diary, he talks about how the president was calling him trying to get him to reopen the country BASH: The lockdowns were down by governors K: They cited Fauci B: Govs were hearing from hospitals that their ICUs were overrun K: That's not true
