Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) was caught using campaign donations to repay himself $400,000 — and he says he may not stop there.On May 3, Johnson repaid himself $400,000 for loans to his 2010 and 2016 campaigns. Two weeks later, the senator told Insider he had "no intention" of seeking repayment of $8.4 m...

 

Former President Donald Trump and his allies are already scheming up plans to significantly expand his presidential power if he wins back the White House next year.

 

"The plans House Republicans are committed to passing would destroy half a million jobs and slam the brakes on our economy."

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene held up naked photos of Hunter Biden during a House Oversight Committee hearing on the DOJ's investigation into his taxes.

 

The Florida Board of Education has approved shocking new standards for African American history, despite overwhelming backlash from the public.

 

The White House on Wednesday expanded its war on junk fees to the rental housing market, announced a crackdown on price-fixing in food and agricultural markets, and unveiled draft merger guidelines as part of an ongoing push to aid U.S. consumers.

 

The state once allowed trans students use bathrooms, pronouns, and play on sports teams matching their gender identities. Not anymore...

 

A pro-Ron DeSantis super PAC uses an Artificial Intelligence version of Donald Trump’s voice in a new television ad attacking the former president.

The ad, from Never Back Down, charges Trump with attacking Iowa governor Kim Reynolds as part of a larger pattern of disrespect he has shown to the first caucus state.

But the audio that the spot uses is not actually from Trump. A person familiar with the ad confirmed Trump’s voice was AI generated. Its content appears to be based off of a post that Trump made on his social media site Truth Social last week. The person said it will run statewide in Iowa tomorrow and that the ad buy was at least $1 million — a massive sum though one doable for the well-heeled super PAC. It will also be running via text message and on digital platforms.

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) leaned in on some of the more salacious issues concerning Hunter Biden in her questioning of IRS whistleblowers who investigated Biden at a House Oversight Committee hearing Wednesday — and brought sexually explicit posters to make her point.

 

The former president wanted to relocate the criminal case to a federal court for strategic reasons.

 

After The Daily Beast revealed that Kyrsten Sinema was paying big money to Tulsi Gabbard's sister, it turns out that Sinema has continued footing those bills.

 

New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley are introducing bipartisan legislation that would prevent members of the executive and legislative branches — as well as their spouses and children — from trading individual company stocks.

Personally I think Steve Bannon’s little pretend Democrat club is going to backfire on them, if somehow Trump doesn’t get the nomination these dickheads are far more likely to steal away MAGA voters than Independents & Democrats. They are basically banking on the “Kennedy” name overriding the fact he’s a batshit crazy idiot, but they forget most people today don’t give a fuck about the Kennedy family, that hook only really works for people over 60 or so.

Time will tell.

Oblivion doesn’t cost $50k+ to buy. If these greedy fuckers think they can RENT me parts of a car I already own, they can go fuck themselves.

Never EVER would I buy a car from any manufacturer that does this.

‘Major questions doctrine’ and ‘originalism’ were both invented from whole cloth as justification for conservatives going against the spirit of the constitution, it’s all bullshit, it’s all propaganda the court is using to justify it’s blatant partisan corruption.

Notice also that all of these newly discovered ‘theories of law’ are all conservative in nature, both sides are the same my ass. The entire conservative movement is basically corrupt to the bone.

Anyone else recall the accusations that were made that MTG was seen giving (Oath Keeper?) members a private tour before Jan 6? She denied it even under oath… but time will tell….

She might have some very personal reasons to be extremely afraid of what Smith has in store in the near future.

Edit - she was also one of the (several) Trumpers that asked him for a pardon before he left office. MTG has skeletons we don’t yet know about.

Who the hell willingly votes for that guy? he does nothing for his constituents and spends all his time trying to destroy democracy.

I believe the Kennedy family made a statement today condemning him for his crazy covid remarks, and it has been reported he was ‘not invited’ to a recent large family gathering.

The cruelty is planned, and deliberate.

Justice may be slow, but it is finally coming for these traitors.

Exactly. Neither Capitalism or Socialism is the answer - the worlds best societies are a measured mix of both.
