Description

Todd Blanche did one singular thing that particularly pleased Donald Trump: he organized and executed the Epstein cover-up. Democrats must ruthlessly hang Blanche's dirty work on every Republican senator who's willing to confirm him as AG. That includes his moving Ghislaine Maxwell to a cushier prison, the millions of documents he's not releasing, and his complete disregard for the survivors. Plus, Bill Pulte is the linchpin in Trump's plot to interfere with the midterms, Pratt lost fair and square in LA, Scott Pelley made clear how hard Bari Weiss is working to serve POTUS, and Trump managed to make Iran even stronger over the weekend. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. Exclusive $35-off Carver Mat, Aspen, and Walden frames at https://on.auraframes.com/BULWARK.

The fact the arch’s shadow would touch Arlington cemetery (a veteran’s cemetery) and block its view is an abomination because a coward who dodged the draft wants to put it up as an ego project. No. Just no.

Around D-Day, French folks in Normandy are pretty open-minded & in no way in a mood to start arguments or pick silly fights. For Langrune to have requested he does not show up, it really shows how profoundly disgusted people were.

Tim, it wasn’t a migrant who committed the murder you referred to in the UK. It was a British citizen of Indian heritage.

That interview with Kristen Welker was a prime example of narcissistic injury.

It’s a disgrace. To harangue our European partners on D-Day for accepting refugees from middle Easter countries escaping wars that we started is absurd.

Princeton should be mortified for admitting Hegseth and giving him a degree. What were they thinking? Maybe they had to fill a "moron" quota?? This guy is dumb as a rock.
