Good fucking morning to everybody except Lindsey Halligan, who was illegally appointed by Donald Trump and so royally fucked up the James Comey indictment that she might lose her law license. That’s what you get when you sell your soul to the devil.

I broke down why Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t resigning out of principle—she’s cashing out. She rode the conspiracy wave into power, loved Trump when he was popular, and now she’s bailing right when she could actually be useful. This isn’t courage—it’s a calculated rebrand.

Trump and Hegseth are going to regret elevating Mark Kelly with these threats. Really stupid move politically.

Today would be a good day for Trump and Bondi to follow the law and release the Epstein files.

I got really fucking excited reading James Carville on economic populism for the Democrats: “It is abundantly clear even to me that the Democratic Party must now run on the most populist economic platform since the Great Depression.”

The thing to know about Donald Trump is that he’s absolutely a fascist—just not a particularly successful one.
Guy can’t even prosecute his political enemies right. SAD!

The Comey indictment was always a joke and was going to get tossed for any number of different reasons. Halligan was illegally appointed, she has no lawful authority to bring the case, she didn't follow the rules, and she clearly had no idea what she's doing.

DOGE is one of the greatest failures of the Trump administration. The next Democratic administration should pick up that issue and actually work to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d suggest starting by taking a look at Elon Musk’s government contracts.

Republicans built their 2026 strategy around demonizing Mamdani as a radical communist jihadist. One press conference later, Donald Trump blew up their entire game plan. A quick rant on yesterday’s wild meeting between Zohran and Trump.

Good fucking morning to everyone except convicted sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell—who is refusing to cooperate with the congressional investigation into the Epstein coverup. She’s clearly been promised a pardon by Trump’s DOJ and is covering for his ass. The corruption is unbelievable.

I continue to believe Marjorie Taylor Greene is completely and totally full of shit, but I'm genuinely surprised she's going to resign.

There’s some Republican operative right now who’s been making ads to demonize Zohran Mamdani in every battleground House race this election—just absolutely fuming at every video of Donald Trump falling in love with the guy. Funniest thing I’ve seen all week.

Spun up a rant on the MAGA outrage machine—how they screamed about rhetoric after Kirk’s murder but went silent when Trump threatened Democrats yesterday. This isn’t just hypocrisy—it’s a deliberate, dangerous double standard. If you’re still defending it, you’re part of the problem.

Find you somebody who looks at you like Donald Trump looks at Zohran Mamdani.

It’s hilarious that every Republican operative has been frothing at the mouth to turn Zohran into a giant Democratic boogeyman, and Donald Trump’s in the Oval Office right now talking about how great he is and how he would love to live in New York under Mayor Mamdani. Just incredible shit.

Trump falling in love with Mamdani is the most predictable thing I've ever seen.

One short meeting with Zohran Mamdani, and Donald Trump is basically registering as a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

A congressional resolution condemning socialism is a tremendous waste of time and exactly the kind of performative politics that people fucking hate. How about we actually legislate some solutions that help people put food on the table?

I know there’s a lot going on, but is anybody at the DOJ ever going to do anything about Matt Gaetz grooming a 17-year-old homeless girl—or are Republican allies of the president just completely immune to prosecution?

MAGA guys like Peter Navarro are so out of touch, they have no idea egg prices are still DOUBLE what they were this time last year.
