Excuse me but why is Biden disappearing from view? Because the media isn’t covering him. Maybe politico should ask themselves the question and here we go again…trump takes up the oxygen and they enable it.

It is so depressing (albeit informative) to get this regularly, and to track how our democracy is slowly but surely dying.

Rep. Jim Clyburn is advocating a Biden "pardon" for tRump, all the while tRump wants to prosecute and jail Clyburn's House colleagues who were on the Jan6 Committee.

Time for Clyburn to hang it up, and spend more time with his grandchildren...he's way past his pull-date.

Are there any normal, qualified people who actually want any of those jobs? Working for Trump?

"The eventual order is expected to focus on changing the requirements for documents issued by federal agencies that verify citizenship, such as a passport."

All ANYONE born in the States who desires a US Passport just needs a valid birth certificate attesting to have been born on American soil, PERIOD. And if the tRump crowd want to "change the requirements", they need Congressional action to do so. This is NOT simply an "Issue an EO and we change the law" sort of thing...although god knows Miller & co. will try.

How about a sign — one substack uses a simple $ — when a publication won’t allow you to read the article without a subscription?

Then how about 12/8 read on 12/9?

Go to "The Great Task"for LIZ CHENEY's 12/8 post: "President Elect DT's Lies about the J6 Committee".

Liz did not even mention Congressional reps have immunities & multiple defenses. Liz does mention a counter attack tool, but not all of them.

Sucks that institutions are rotted and none of our elected officials were moved to act…

That Liptak column about the Judicial Act of 1925 is a fine argument for increasing the number of Supreme Court justices to at least 13, if not twice that. The poor dears -- so overworked! -- so now they get to decide the few things they want to work on. No.

Getting run over by the Energizer Bunny is downright embarrassing.
