MTN: For years, the MAGA movement relied on blind devotion. But devotion doesn’t pay rent. It doesn’t cover hospital bills. It doesn’t save jobs. And as Americans look around, they’re realizing that Trump’s promises were nothing but performances of cruelty wrapped in lies — Reality is a bitch.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Honestly, if Bill had a large presence in the files, it would have been leaked to Fox during Trump’s first administration and Fox would have been running the story 24-7 since.

This is what America looks like without an Attorney General. This is what America looks like when the Justice Department is the President’s private law firm.

Outrageous how the U.S. government has consistently ignored the brutal murder of an American resident by prominent Saudis.
Remember Jamal Khashoggi.

Phang: It is a fundamental premise of the law that there is no requirement that a criminal defendant be forced to testify to explain away the government’s evidence. Hallagan went to law school and knows better, but she’s so stupid that she made that misstatement of the law to the grand jury.
