Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised.
My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

You sound hysterical if you say it, but in Minnesota the Republican Party is literally pro-murder. An otherwise anonymous killer who killed in cold blood on camera and was convicted of second degree murder received an honorary moment of silence for it at this weekend’s state GOP convention.
Minnesota GOP Party Chair Alex Plechash defends MNGOP's moment of silence for Chauvin at their convention: "There are a lot of people I think that believe Derek Chauvin was improperly convicted & not treated well & those people wanted to have a moment of silence in recognition bc they felt that way"

Leavitt: "Nobody is recent years has faced more bullets and violence than President Trump. This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of him and his supporters by commentators -- yes -- by elected members of the Democrat Party, and even some in the media."

Look, we can say Trump is firing Bondi bc she didn't prosecute enough of Trump's enemies. But it is also the case that Trump is going to fire Bondi bc she (with Kash Patel's able assistance) fucked up the effort to bury the allegations that he raped and assaulted a teenager.

I notice that ‘straight’ news reporters and White House correspondents are all posting Trump’s ‘I’m glad he’s dead’ reaction to Mueller’s death with just a ‘here is the president’s response’. Very few acknowledgements of how insane and inappropriate it is for the president to respond like this.

To be clear, the Republicans who policed all of our speech when Charlie Kirk was killed, & who jump on anyone who doesn’t mourn their heroes correctly, have just opened the door for every liberal & leftist in America to post ‘Good, I’m glad he’s dead” when Trump eventually dies.

I wish I could vote for Kat. Even if that meant having to live in Illinois and potentially catching a disease like Chicago Sports Fandom. We need people like her in charge.
This is as good as everyone is saying.
I knew of both Kat and Ben, separately. I worked with Ben on a piece years ago and had interacted with both of them for a decade. I'm so glad they found each other.
I am proud to share a profession with both of them (journalist, complimentary)

In other news, water is now believed to be wet. When asked for comment, Chuck Schumer said "The Bailey's aren't so sure, so we'll take a look, maybe, after the midterms. By the way, do you have $5?"
The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Two years ago, the successful union drive at this plant was expected to spark victories throughout the South. But now, as members vote to make their contract official, momentum has fizzled.
