Your political career was over, @JohnCornyn.
All you had to do was vote “no” on the nomination so that you could retain at least some small claim to integrity and honor.
You couldn’t muster up the moral courage to take even that minor, token step.
They kowtow to an adjudicated sexual abuser credibly accused of raping children, a little domestic abuse isn’t enough to get them to turn on their own.
Good on Sheldon Whitehouse for reminding us that Tom Homan took a $50K cash bribe from undercover FBI agents - and we still don’t know where that went.
BREAKING: Trump lies that he has photo and video evidence of people cutting the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool with a box knife. No evidence of this exists. That’s why the DOJ dropped charges. He’s completely delusional and detached from reality.
This man wants to fight everyone except the man who abused his daughter.
Moreno hurls expletive at reporter asking questions about Max Miller.

Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing, of course, because I don't know -- but it would suggest that whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder, right?"
Maggie Haberman spent an hour with him in the Oval Office in March and came away with a number. Seventy percent of his mind share, by her estimate, goes to the renovations. The ballroom. The arch. He interrupted an unrelated meeting to call Emmanuel Macron and ask what it is like to stand under the actual Arc de Triomphe, whether it has a visitor's desk, whether people jump off it. Someone had asked him what should go on top of his own version. He was deciding between that and a giant gold cast of his own fist from Butler.
Meanwhile nobody around him seems fully certain he understands how depleted American munitions are after this war he started with Iran, a live open question from a reporter who has covered him for a decade.
There is no policy agenda left, by Haberman's own account. No immigration bill in the works, no legislative program, nothing beyond retribution and construction. He is not governing a country right now so much as decorating a legacy he has already decided he deserves.
Talarico: "Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. Texans will still use THC — but instead of getting it safely from a local small business, they’ll go back to getting it from the black market. From the drug cartels."
Two senators on their way out the door. Nothing left to lose. Total leverage. And they traded it for a memo. A piece of paper. Cornyn and Tillis folded like lawn chairs, and everybody knew they would. Again.
🚨TORCHED: Sen. Sheldon
Whitehouse just UNLOADED on Republicans for advancing Todd Blanche:
“Today... is a sad and embarrassing day... we are going to advance... probably the most discreditable person ever to seek the office of Attorney General.”
Republicans are COWARDS.
DO WE HAVE ONE GODDAMN PERSON IN GOVERNMENT WHO CAN DETERMINE THE LIVING STATUS AND WHEREABOUTS OF ONE OLD ASS KENTUCKY SENATOR???
Instead, we're getting reports from random social media accounts. This is truly f*cking ridiculous.
It doesn't matter what Trump does now.
America has lost the Trump-Iran war.
And not just lost, but got our asses handed to us.
Trump's folly embarrassed America before the world.
Now, in Texas, if you have a couple of weed vapes in your possession, you could face up to 10 years in prison & felony charges.
Meanwhile, Ken Paxton let a convicted child molester off with a one-day jail sentence.
Absolutely insane.
Jeanine Pirro did NOT do the right thing by dropping the case versus David Hearn over the bogus Reflecting pool case. Pirro filed charges to make Trump happy. Pirro only dropped the case because she realized she could be disbarred for bringing a bad faith prosecution. She still should be disbarred!
