A billionaire's payments to Jeffrey Epstein were exposed on a Monday. By Thursday, Susan Collins' campaign had his check. And his wife's. Last December it took $7,000 more. Maine's most concerned senator kept every dime. Receipts: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-sen...

I cannot imagine the impetus for pardoning this guy. But I’m not even sure it matters. Kind of along the lines of that Roger Marshall ad. If you’re explaining you’re losing.

As someone who was born in Missouri I need to say not everyone born in the state is a roadkill bumblefuck like this clown. Or not most. Or at least a large plurality.
A phenomenal moment in the Senate.
Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta.
Smith denies it.
Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury.
Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡
Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong.

What makes the outbreak of Trump scrubbing off GOP websites particularly chancy is a lot of these candidates only had any juice BECAUSE they were close to Trump or endorsed by him. Without that many aren't particularly strong candidates.
