Wolf: What hasn’t been discussed publicly, to my knowledge, is the fact that, in my opinion, President Trump committed a crime in negotiating the settlement agreement in this case and it’s possible that Mr. Blanche would be found to be a co-conspirator in that crime. Let me try to explain…
Congress enacted a statute that makes it illegal for the president or the vice president to directly or indirectly request the initiation or termination of a tax investigation. There’s a potential five-year prison term for violating that statute.
Donald Trump would not have immunity from criminal prosecution for violating that statute in this case because he filed this lawsuit in his personal capacity. Therefore, negotiating the settlement was not an official act for which he has immunity as president.
So, in this case, he was negotiating essentially with himself. As Judge Williams said in Trump v. IRS—a case in which I’m one of the 35 plaintiffs who, through excellent lawyers, persuaded the court to reopen the case and find that this was not a genuine case—it wasn’t a real case or controversy that was legitimately in federal court. It was a collusive case brought for an improper purpose: to get a personal benefit for President Trump, his family, and his allies.

Sen. WELCH: Is there no line that the Senate won’t allow Donald Trump to cross? It confirmed Bondi, Hegseth, Patel, Noem. And it’s about to confirm Blanche. The President is abusing his authority every day and that’s shame on him. But the Senate is failing to use its power.

PabloReports: Do you agree with Senator Cornyn that there is nothing that can be done to constrain Trump?
Warren: No. Republicans have the majority. They could constrain Trump on war, on these slimy tax deals, on his corruption. The list is long. But to do that, they would actually have to grow a spine. And so far, what we have around here is a bunch of gelatinous blobs.

Zelenskyy claims Russia is sharing satellite imagery of U.S. military bases with Iran.
Trump's response when asked about this? "I'll ask Putin."
That's an embarrassing answer from the president of the United States.

I'd like to point out that all the Republican Senators who berated Dr. Fauci today are the same Senators who co-conspired with Donald Trump to steal the 2020 election on January 6th.
No amount of trying to rewrite history will ever change what we all saw with our own eyes.

Mehdi Hasan: “They want us to believe that when Barack Obama was president, Donald Trump won fair and square. When Joe Biden was president, Donald Trump won fair and square. But when Donald Trump was president, he was robbed by the Deep State. That’s what they want us to believe. The dumbest people in the world”

Yesterday, Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s Press Secretary, when asked if Trump will accept the results of the 2026 election, refused to say yes. She refused to say whether Trump will accept the results of this year’s election.
I’ve repeatedly called Donald Trump a traitor to this country and an enemy to this country. And I stand by that. Anyone who accepts election results only when they win, or only when their side wins, is in fact an enemy of our democracy. And they should be treated as such.
And I know deep down you ALL know this. I know deep down you ALL believe it’s wrong to accept election results only when your side wins. But I also know that most of you who support Trump won’t say that publicly because you won’t criticize your dear leader. And that’s such a shame.
Because like he did when he lost in 2020, again this year, if Republicans lose the House and/or the Senate, Trump will refuse to accept the results and, once again, he’ll scream “stolen election.” We all know that’s what he’s going to do. He’s already been signaling that that’s what he’s going to do.
A democracy ends when a people refuses to accept the will of the people every two years, when a people refuses to accept the results of elections they lose.
And btw, NONE of you raised your kids to be this way. NONE of you raised your kids to be sore losers. You ALL raised your kids to do their best, try as hard as they can, but if they lose the game or the match or the contest, they must accept the defeat graciously and congratulate the winning team. That’s how you were raised, and that’s how you raised your kids.
Donald Trump is the antithesis of that. In fact, you raised your kids to be the opposite of Trump.
Have a nice weekend.

Anyone else see the irony that on the night America's serial lying psychopath bizarrely claimed China helped rig the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden, German chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Trump and his authoritarian regime to stay the fuck out of their elections and stop interfering in their democracy?
This occurred due to the Trump regime announcing a scheme to fund fascist far-right MAGA-aligned causes in Europe.

Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control and the cost of living continues to rise for Americans across the country. I expect the president to reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia, an election that Donald Trump lost. And let me be very clear about this: if the President declares Georgia's election illegitimate, or if the President declares Georgia's sitting United States Senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters in that election, Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud when he called Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- and it was caught on tape, and you should play the tape to your viewers today -- and badgered and bullied Georgia's top election official to 'find him' the votes that he needed to win in a state where he had lost."

🎯 @Rep_Walkinshaw: “Any senator who votes to confirm Todd Blanche should know — you’re now part of the cover-up. You’re complicit in the cover-up if you vote to confirm the Todd Blanche for attorney general, who has led the cover-up of the Epstein Files.”

Don’t hire a weekend news co-anchor to run the military. Don’t hire two dumb podcasters to run the FBI. Don’t hire a tough-guy cosplaying plumber to run DHS. Don’t hire a decaying felon pedophile to run the country.

“Lindsey Graham was a lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention. Let it be known for all time that he knew exactly what Donald Trump was from the very beginning, and chose him over his country.”
