You don't need to amend the Constitution. Just pass a law that requires any PAC who buys ads to buy equal time or "space" immediately following/adjacent to their (dishonest) message for the target to respond. This would diffuse their money advantage and the effectiveness of their negative ads.

Pete Hague-seth seems to think the expression "The Fog of War" is literal. It is not. It is a metaphor, and one that would not excuse executing shipwrecked passengers you can clearly see on your video screen.

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

How many people in the White House and Republican congressional delegation do you think have bought or sold illegal drugs?

I am certain the number is not zero.'
Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

just an utter joke of a court.
#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three democratic appointees, #SCOTUS puts Texas's new House maps back into effect for (and, presumably, through) the 2026 midterms.

The three Democratic appointees, in an opinion by Justice Kagan, dissent.

I'll post the ruling shortly.

JUST IN: Grand jury declines to reindict Letitia James.

Like Jen Rubin said in October: "Trump’s inability to keep his trap shut about his revengeful prosecutions against Comey and James provides defense counsel with ample proof that both cases are vindictive (not to mention groundless)."

Radio host Dan Bongino said last January that the FBI was covering up who the J6 bomber was because it was an "inside job."
The next month, Bongino was named FBI deputy director, and today he's crowing because they arrested a J6 bomb subject ... who didn't happen to be working in FBI headquarters.
