I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.
He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.
The irony of Republicans trying to attach the “SAVE Act” to a bill (NDAA) that betrays our sovereignty by merging our military technology and supply lines with a country of 10 million people that’s been at war with its own citizens for its 78 year existence.
Who are we SAVE-ing?
The net effect of this decision is political parties will have more power over individual candidates. When elections are over, winning candidates will feel more obligated to vote with their parties instead of their constituents.
Fewer Thomas Massies and Ro Khannas, more zombies.
Fighting for kids to receive state-mandated Bible instruction while fighting against those same kids receiving free lunch is exactly the kind of religious hypocrisy Christians should stand against.
This is what it looks like to take the Lord’s name in vain.
Republicans are in charge because we promised:
to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,
what the hell happened?!
With all the corruption flooding out of this administration, you may have missed this one.
The Trump DOJ just killed a criminal investigation into the coal empire owned by Senator Jim Justice, a Republican and one of Trump’s closest allies.
Prosecutors and EPA investigators were probing whether his family’s mining companies criminally violated the Clean Water Act after racking up tens of thousands of alleged pollution violations over the past decade. The arsenic and other dangerous chemicals coal mines leach into our water are exactly what these laws exist to stop.
Career prosecutors believed they had a strong case.
They had begun gathering evidence and issuing subpoenas. Then the Deputy Attorney General’s office, run at the time by Todd Blanche, told them “pencils down.” A former prosecutor of 24 years said he had never heard of a criminal probe being shut down like this. There should be no untouchables list.
This is the pattern, plain as day.
Go after the President’s enemies, protect his friends. And now Trump wants to make Blanche his permanent Attorney General.
The man who shut this down should not be running the Justice Department. For this and so many other reasons, Todd Blanche must not be confirmed.

Some thoughts on the new Epstein Files revelations:
I’ve now read everything that’s come out from the new Haberman and Swan book, and the thing I keep coming back to is the Situation Room. They held multiple meetings in the Situation Room about the Epstein files. That room is for war. It’s for national security emergencies. It is not for figuring out how to spin a scandal you’re telling the country is a hoax.
While the President was deflecting or calling this old news, his own Vice President and Chief of Staff were huddled in the most leak-proof room in America because they knew how bad it really was.
You don’t take a nothingburger to the Situation Room.
And I have to be honest, reading all this brings back a lot of frustration about what happened in the House of Representatives. I sat there and watched Mike Johnson send the House home early to dodge a vote on releasing these files. I watched him refuse to swear in a duly elected colleague for months just to stall the discharge petition. Month after month of excuses, arm twisting, and procedural games, all to keep this information from the public. We only got the files because survivors, families, and a handful of members in both parties simply refused to let it go.
So when people ask me why I talk so much about transparency and accountability, this is why. The truth eventually comes out. It always does.
The only question is whether your leaders helped reveal it or helped bury it.
Everyone who voted to keep these files hidden should have to answer for that.
Finally, notice what’s missing from all of this is any sign that Trump’s DOJ will actually investigate the powerful men named in these files.
Draw your own conclusions about why a Justice Department run by the President’s former defense lawyers might not be eager to pull that thread.
Stephen A Smith DESTROYS Lebrons GOAT Case
"He played 23 years,he still has 2 less titles than Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan played all 82 games 8 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is a 10x Scoring Champion, how many times did Lebron do it?, Michael Jordan is 9x All Nba defensive player, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss. Michael Jordan averaged over 30 in the postseason 7 times, how many times did Lebron do it?, theres nothing to discuss, hes approaching year 24 and still has 2 less titles"

I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.

Only 10 times in NBA history has a player averaged 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists during the playoffs for the NBA Champions.
Only two players have done it twice:
- Bill Russell (1962, 1963)
- Larry Bird (1981, 1984)
Legends.
Let me reframe this for you. This is the government questioning the government to see if the government covered up for the government in the Epstein files. Shockingly, the government told the government that the government did nothing wrong.
As a rookie, Kevin Johnson arrived four hours early to get shots up..
Larry Bird was already there..
KJ waited to see Bird miss..
He waited a long time...
