Homan is smarter than Bovino (no real feat, there). He understands that if he does stuff that signals that we’re in the denouement of the crisis, media will move on. But brutality with observers is escalating, ICE is still omnipresent. Little sign on the ground that it’s over

There would be a whole lot of people opposed to minors getting cosmetic surgery if they knew about it. But there wasn't a billion dollar campaign involving an entire political party, several billionaires, and dozens of think tanks pushing it.

As wild as this sounds, I really do think “president connected to notorious pedophile sex trafficker, corrupting law enforcement to cover it up, now in explicit violation of a specifically tailored law,” while easily impeachable in its own, is at most the fourth worst scandal this week.
4) And they STILL haven’t released the Epstein files.
Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Gonna keep banging the drum that AOC's line "they took your healthcare to pay for kidnap squads" is easy, effective, and worth repeating literally every time you're in front of a mic.

really says a lot about the lack of conviction at the heart of the GOP that the party of God and Guns was completely subsumed by a guy who cares about neither
