Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

You have GOT TO SEE THIS. When asked by the Senate Judiciary Committee about white supremacist Dylan Roof and his horrific antisemitic mass murder, Kash Patel, the head of the FBI, had no clue who that was saying: “I’m sorry, Dylan Ruth?”

When I worked at Senate Budget, every single year, I would go through the copious errors in Rand Paul's budget. Tyler was my replacement when I left (follow him).
What's so amazing about the Paul budget is both that he has some of the same errors each year & that there are new ones every year too.

Yesterday, Rand Paul proposed a budget that is full of gimmicks AND full of typos. It calls for a massive 38% cut to federal spending, but doesn't tell you where.

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed.
Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign.
If merit still matters, he should be fired.

The mortgage fraud claim against Lisa Cook is false, per documents obtained by Reuters.
Bill Pulte's accusation, the sole pretext Trump used to fire her from the Fed, was that she claimed two homes as primary residence.
These docs show she did not.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"
After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.
