How big of a deal is it that Special Counsel Jack Smith has has a recording all along of Donald Trump discussing a classified document about Iran with people who didn’t have a security clearance? Legal expert Andrew Weissman appeared on MSNBC this afternoon and stated that this is “game over” for Donald Trump. You…
How horribly did the House budget vote go for Kevin McCarthy? He needed the Democrats’ help to get the vote over the top. Afterward, Kevin tried to spin it positively, but ended up just wigging out: . .
You’d think right wing publications like the Wall Street Journal would stick with Donald Trump until the bitter end. But that’s not really how it works. Major news outlets each tend to have their own political ideology and leanings, but that’s just a means to an end. Major news outlets exist to turn a profit,…
Now that President Biden has won the budget battle, House Republicans are left trying to figure out how to spin it. Let’s just say that it isn’t going well. Kevin McCarthy looks fully defeated. And other House Republicans are struggling to figure out how to assign blame. Take, for instance, this guy: . RALPH NORMAN:…
Donald Trump is now publicly attacking Texas Governor Greg Abbott for refusing to defend Trump pal Ken Paxton.

The big story here is…
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who’s under federal criminal investigation and was just impeached by his fellow Republicans, is now depicting himself as Santa Anna: . .

Donald Trump is going to prison and he knows it. In the meantime he seems intent on alienating as many people as possible. For Memorial Day, Trump posted this completely psychotic rant which we’ll present in its full context because we’re not even sure how to parse it: “HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, BUT ESPECIALLY…
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has spent years getting away with too much corruption to list. He was even involved in Donald Trump’s plot to overthrow the election in 2020, and he’s somehow remained a free man. But now Texas Republicans appear to have finally decided that Paxton is too much of a liability for…
Ron DeSantis has spent the past couple months running his 2024 prospects through a shredder, so it’s fitting that his official launch is also a disaster. He posted a three minute long campaign launch video today, which he sounded bored while narrating. The whole thing was such an amateur hour mess that rock band Eve…

When House Republican George Santos was criminally indicted on thirteen felony counts and arrested, someone paid his bail, allowing him to remain out of prison (with significant travel restrictions) while awaiting trial.
