Can’t bring myself to care about Joe Biden pardoning Hunter after saying he wouldn’t, his latest lie in a series of many lies. However it would be cool if he extended the same grace to the 360,000 other nonviolent drug offenders who face worse futures than Hunter ever did

Masterful gambit on Gaetz’s part to convince Trump to nominate him, drumming up a bunch of negative press about the sex scandal that most people had forgotten about, resign from Congress, and then withdraw from AG consideration. What cunning move will this bright conservative star make next

The Senate must reject Trump’s dangerous, unqualified cabinet nominees | Editorial

Trump is expected to name Russ Vought to OMB Hard to overstate the importance of this.

A self described Christian nationalist, he wants to dismantle the federal government as we know it.

Getting a lot of replies along the lines of "oh, you rube, you still think the law matters" and it feels strategically foolish to just concede that it doesn't. Contest everything. Expose the hypocrisy.
