Only Loyalists Need Apply A new and ironic development in the first-of-its-kind legal challenge to President Trump’s U.S. attorney scheme gives me a chance to pull back the lens a bit to show the full scope of the corruption involved and why it matters. The lawsuit by fired U.S. Attorney Roger Rogoff of Seattle that…

And in fake news this morning:
Democrats hit 53% in the congressional Fox News’ generic poll. The highest any party has ever reached in the Fox Poll since 1996.
Emerson Polling also shows Democrats with an 11-point advantage on the generic ballot, as of this month – 53% to 42%.
Republican Hilton’s “winning” message in the Governor’s race is that “Californians … can hate Trump but still vote for him in governor’s race.”
And from the usual suspects:

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is pulling out the stops in lavishing Alaska with goodies in an effort to win undecided Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s vote for his confirmation to the permanent position, Politico reports.
Just so it is clear about Lisa.

Trump: “The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they’re gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes … you don’t want to see me cry.”
Only because I don’t want to “see” you ever again.

OMFG!
This is precious! One of the most ludicrous statements by a Senator I’ve come across, and Tuberville is in that mix to be sure.

Off topic, but still…The BBC shows additional evidence (which they’ve given to the congressional oversight people) that Lutnick’s tale of walking out of Epstein’s New York palace never to enter JE"s life again in any capacity is even more of a fairy tale than was already shown. Howie seems to have been involved in some shady business negotiations involving bunches of shady money with Prince Andrew (with Epstein overseeing some of the doings) even after the lunch on the island event. …
A whistleblower who’d worked for Lutnick’s London operations found this evidence in the Epstein files because, unlike everybody else, he knew that Lutnick and those in his company used initials, not names, on things like email correspondence. So rather than searching the files under “Howard” or “Lutnick”, he looked under HWL and found lots more documents that showed at least a proposed very shady financial deal with money to skim was discussed among those three long after the island visit. This additional chunk of stuff he’s falsely denied is at least part of why the congressional Dems have called on Lutnick to resign.
