Congressional Republicans are happily handing their power over to Trump
It’s a tale as old as January 2025: GOP lawmakers believe their primary job is to assist President Donald Trump in doing whatever he wants—even if “whatever he wants” means “turn Congress ...

Unfit to Serve: Jeanine Pirro Made Excuses for Jan. 6th
Senators weighing her nomination for U.S. attorney should revisit her remarks denigrating prosecutors and calling defendants “hostages.”

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Imagine where it would be if there was a concerted effort by Democrats to make the case on this issue rather than let events play out on their own.
This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.
That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.
On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record
