When a judge held Donald Trump in contempt of court and hit him with $10,000 daily fines until he fully complied with New York Attorney General Letitia James’ document production requests, it meant Trump was going to lose one way or the other. Would he cough up the incriminating documents, or would he let the…

John Eastman, the lawyer who helped Donald Trump try to overthrow the 2020 election, spent a very long time remaining loyal to Trump. Eastman spent forever fighting in court to try to avoid having to hand over emails that incriminate himself and Trump. But even as a judge was ruling that at least some of…

The Senate has now passed the aid bill for Ukraine. President Biden will sign it into law imminently. It’s a reminder that although Rand Paul did shamefully delay it by a week, he did not “block” the legislation – as so many headlines falsely claimed at the time. He was only ever going to be…

The five most flippable Senate seats, in this order: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina. The four Senate seats we have to fight to keep: Georgia, Arizona, New Hampshire, Nevada. If we win six out of these nine, we get 52 seats and kill the filibuster. It won’t be easy – we have to put…

No matter how many times the media and pundit class keeps making this claim, Kathy Barnette is not why the Pennsylvania race is so close. Mehmet Oz was only two points ahead of McCormick in the polls before Barnette’s surge. You can look at the numbers and see that Barnette’s late surge mostly pulled votes…

Back in the old days, when a lot of Republican politicians were merely corrupt puppets of the wealthy with outdated views and no vision for America, it made sense to root for the least bad Republican candidate to win the nomination. That way, if the Democratic candidate did lose, at least the nation would merely…

Kathy Barnette – who could win the Republican Senate primary in Pennsylvania this week – participated in the January 6th march to the Capitol. According to NBC News, she not only participated in the march, she marched adjacent to the Proud Boys. Participating in the march is not a crime on its own. There is…

Mehmet Oz was a couple points ahead in the polls before Trump endorsed him, and he’s a couple points ahead now. If the polls prove correct, then Trump’s endorsement has had zero impact and is therefore a failure – even if Oz wins by the couple points he was going to win by anyway. If…

Trump’s endorsement of Mehmet Oz is going so poorly, he now has his pal Sean Hannity out there attacking another Republican candidate Kathy Barnette, for fear she’ll defeat Oz in the primary. Yet the media is still pretending Trump’s endorsements are influential with voters. This comes after Trump’s candidate in Nebraska lost the primary race…

Donald Trump officially sold off his ownership in the management of the Trump International Hotel today, which will reopen under a new name without his involvement. It was believed to be his only remaining profitable property, but he sold it anyway. This suggests that Trump must be in truly dire economic straits, as selling off…

Numerous misleading headlines are now claiming the judge has let Trump off the contempt hook. This is false. The judge has simply given Trump a May 20th deadline to fully comply with the New York AG’s subpoena, or else the fines kick in retroactively. This isn’t about bleeding Trump dry $10,000 at a time, nice…

If we expand our Senate majority to just 52 seats this November, it’ll mean that the two corrupt clowns Manchin and Sinema won’t be able to hold us hostage. We’ll have 50 votes to exempt crucial matters like Roe v. Wade, infrastructure, and more from the filibuster. The Senate seats we can flip this November…
