In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Ted Cruz admits he’s a corporate shill but like Matt Gaetz’s procurer, Joel Greenberg, prior crimes don’t count if you can get a pardon, even from the press. But hey Ted, confession is good for the soul because you don’t have to rely on the...

Because not wanting to be accountable for perhaps something more felonious like manslaughter is so on brand for Republicans.

So what will the new conservative boogeyman be now that Republicans are finally starting to accept that Donald Trump is a lame duck à l'orange? Well, conservative media have always played the hits from the ‘90s till today, so they’re bound to cue up a few oldies to keep the...
What?!? In a candidate forum with the South Carolina Senate race contenders, Senator Lindsey Graham has said he did not believe there was systemic racism in his state, insisting young black people would be safe, “as long as they're conservative.” Graham made the comment during what was initially going to be another...
Back at the beginning of the year, Trump assassinated Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and a close confidant of the Iranian ayatollah. Undoubtedly Soleimani was responsible for a lot of terror attacks and the deaths of Americans, but Trump didn’t kill him because of that. (Trump...
Louis Gohmert has truly earned his designation as America’s dumbest congressman. Just a few highlights: He justified an oil pipeline by saying caribou warm up to it; blamed the Aurora shooter on a high school graduation that didn't talk about God; entered an SNL skit into the Congressional record; spouted baseless theories in the...
Received this e-mail today from former presidential candidate, U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D. NJ), in support of Mike Espy’s (D. MS) U.S. Senate campaign: Mike Espy (D.

Received this e-mail from U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D. NV) in support of Jaime Harrison (D. SC), Mike Espy (D. MS) and Adrian Perkins (D. LA) U.S. Senate campaigns: Most Southern states may have been reliably Republican for decades — but this year, Democrats are poised to beat the odds...
Yesterday’s Trump presser only needed a whiteboard and a Sharpietm to draw the path to a quarter-million US deaths. x The U.S. has now confirmed 4 million coronavirus cases â just 15 days after hitting 3 million. Federal health officials have said the actual number of cases is likely 10 times higher...

More Trump shtick, recycling old material, but he still loves trucks. The president is ranting about shower heads, dishwashers, and light bulbs. Now Fox News is fact-checking IMPOTUS*. x Cool. Now do one for the weight of 135,000 dead Americans. And 30 million unemployed workers. https://t.co/kKPThOG7zaâ” The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) July...
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D. NY) in support of Cal Cunningham (D. NC), Jaime Harrison, Rev. Raphael Warnock (D. GA) and MJ Hegar’s (D.

Will possibly outting Lindsey Graham hurt his reelection chances this year? My extremely jaded, cynical view says “No.” It seems to be an open secret that Graham is gay, or so we are told from some who live in SC. Therefore, if most SC voters know but keep voting for...
The Atlantic has a good piece out about the upcoming U.S. Senate race between incumbent U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R. SC) and former South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison (D. SC). It’s worth the read but Adam Harris emphasizes how Harrison could pull off an upset win: When we...

The Hill had a piece this week that goes into how U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R. SC) full embrace of Trump might be putting his re-election bid in danger: Graham’s alliance with Trump has helped him avoid a nasty primary fight, while fueling Democratic efforts to unseat him in November....
I have some more suggested reading for you all. The Jewish Insider released a piece late last week profiling the upcoming U.S. Senate race in South Carolina between incumbent U.S. Senator, Leningrad Lindsey Graham (R. SC), and former South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman, Jaime Harrison (D. SC). The race is...
All of Trump’s infomercial yesterday went down the tubes because he can’t be confronted with his own words, especially when he thinks only his base listens to Sean Hannity. x The MAGA geniuses are responding that Metro area of Seoul is actually 25 million. So, the argument is he was...
Trump continues to push his disinformation, aside from not knowing how big Seoul is. And still there’s no national stay-at-home order 160,000+ US cases, 3,000+ deaths with aggregated testing claims versus tests per capita. For several days Trump touted meaningless statistical blather saying “US testing was more in eight days than South...
Pam Keith entered her first-ever race as a Florida candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2016. She was green back then but even so, the Miami Herald endorsed Keith, noting that “This long-shot candidate brings one of the freshest perspectives to Florida politics heard in a long time. She is accomplished, credible—and has been...
Joe Biden did what he always does, disregard the advice of a particular sect. In this case, Jim Clyburn was the recipient of Biden's “love.” This isn't new even as many like to disregard his proclivity to undermine or trivialize the intelligence of some. Joe Biden, true to form x...
Some big news: Musician John Legend will campaign for Sen.
