Clarence Thomas is predictably claiming that all of his unreported gifts and suspicious financial transactions are merely bad paperwork, and that he’ll get it all cleaned up with amended filings. The thing is, none of it even makes sense. For instance, actor and activist Jon Cryer is asking the right question about Clarence Thomas’ latest…
Yesterday the judge announced a one day delay in the start of the trial between Fox News and Dominion, amid news reports that there were settlement talks. But apparently that was a non starter, because now a New York Times reporter has just announced on MSNBC that there is not going to be any settlement…
All that Ron DeSantis knows how to do these days is lose. His attempt at national rollout has caused his 2024 Republican primary polling numbers to drop by roughly half over the past month. And his ongoing war against Disney World, his state’s most important business entity, keeps going even more poorly for him. Disney…
“Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander is either a material witness or a target in the DOJ’s long running January 6th criminal investigation, and we’ve all been waiting for him to get busted for his role in that travesty. Instead, Alexander has been busted for this travesty: . Well… okay then.
Jim Jordan really tried to hype his big House hearing in Manhattan. But as it’s playing out today, it’s just another low level farce in a string of low level House Republican farces of late. Jordan’s hearing today is having no impact. It’ll change the minds of zero voters. House Republicans continue to spin their…
Kevin McCarthy isn’t exactly the sharpest crayon in the box to begin with. But now that he’s “Speaker” of the House, he’s in WAY over his head.

After the news broke last night that Fox News was attempting to settle with Dominion on the eve of trial, Donald Trump had a social media freak out at three in the morning. He frantically urged Fox to instead announce even more loudly that Trump had won the 2020 election. Now it’s being widely reported…

On Sunday night, just hours before the civil trial between Fox News and Dominion was set to begin, the judge delayed the trial by day amid reports that Fox was attempting to settle the case.

Thus far Donald Trump done little to “run” for President in 2024 beyond filing the paperwork. But the fact that he has filed the paperwork means that he has to fill out quarterly financial disclosure forms, which give some insight into his overall financial position. Let’s just say that Trump’s just-released quarterly filing wasn’t exactly…
Earlier today Donald Trump finally acknowledged all four of the highest profile prosecutors who are investigating him, all in the same social media post – a departure from his longtime tactic of trying to isolate his enemies and attack them one at a time. Now Trump seems to be going further off the deep end…
Donald Trump just keeps trying to find ways to portray himself as a strongman who’s taking a strong stand against what’s happening to him.
