Trump declares he ‘can do whatever I want’—and dozes off

Trump declares he ‘can do whatever I want’—and dozes off

President Donald Trump held a sleepy press conference Wednesday, where he congratulated himself for showing restraint toward his perceived enemies and threatened to be a dictator—again. “I could have done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could have done very, very bad things to Joe Biden. I could have done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama,” Trump said. “And I certainly—even to… Source Powered by WPeMatico

Now Trump is trying to make Camp Donald happen

Now Trump is trying to make Camp Donald happen

No matter how much distraction and ire he pushes into the public discourse, President Donald Trump can’t escape his plummeting approval ratings. Shadowed by a war he promised not to start and surging prices for citizens regardless of who they voted for, the legacy enveloping Trump’s second term in office is less golden and more gilded, at best. But the president has an alternative tactic for… Source Powered by WPeMatico

Nervous GOP Senate hopeful abruptly bails on Trump’s tariffs

In a sign that Republicans aren’t doing nearly as well in Michigan as they’re projecting, GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers released a new campaign ad Wednesday to denounce President Donald Trump’s destructive tariffs. “Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy. We need to end this tariff war—now,” Rogers says in the ad. “As Michigan’s senator, I’ll bring both parties together to… Source Powered by WPeMatico

Centrist Democrats are afraid of expanding the Supreme Court

Centrist Democrats are afraid of expanding the Supreme Court

Oh boy, here we go with this shit. “Third Way, the center-left think tank, is urging moderate Democrats to back common-sense reforms to prevent the left from pushing court expansion, an unpopular position that could motivate the G.O.P. base and alienate independents,” reported Puck News. “Instead, Third Way executive Lanae Erickson is suggesting that Dems pass legislation that would place 18… Source Powered by WPeMatico

The Paramount merger sucks for everyone—except David Ellison

The Paramount merger sucks for everyone—except David Ellison

Hoo boy, this Paramount merger. Whoops, sorry, the company name is Skydance now—which is a dumb name with an even dumber new logo. This merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery got approved solely because David Ellison, head of this monstrosity, and his daddy, Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, are big friends of President Donald Trump in particular and Republicans generally.

Desperation plagues Republican Hilton’s bid for California governor

Republican nominee Steve Hilton is facing exceptionally steep odds in his run for governor of California. But as the former Fox News host joined Daily Kos from a spotty video connection en route to another campaign event, Hilton’s determination to change California’s blue history was unwavering, to say the least. “I’ve always felt that it’s an uphill battle, no question,” he told us in… Source Powered by WPeMatico

Why Republicans are desperate to hold on to Texas

Why Republicans are desperate to hold on to Texas

Things are undoubtedly rough for Republicans as they face the prospect of deep losses in the U.S. Senate. The map is shocking given that the Democratic Party’s path to the majority runs through states like Alaska, Iowa, and Ohio—deep red states that shouldn’t, under any normal circumstances, be competitive. It’s particularly crazy since even redder states like Nebraska and South Carolina are… Source Powered by WPeMatico

House speaker threatens Democrats with a good time

House speaker threatens Democrats with a good time

Starting last week, C-SPAN began simulcasting MAGA mouthpiece Scott Jennings’ radio show, on which House Speaker Mike Johnson made an appearance Tuesday to try to scare the GOP base into voting. “The Iranians are not trustworthy negotiating partners,” Johnson said about President Donald Trump’s costly war. “They lie—some of them as part of their religion.” Johnson also blamed the… Source Powered by WPeMatico
