Description

The bombshell voting rights ruling from the Supreme Court may have been years in the making, but Ossoff sees a tie-in to Trump's sore-loserdom and his inability to accept that black voters in Georgia were responsible for his 2020 defeat. And the senator expects a full-court press to get Alito and Thomas to retire so Trump can nominate MAGA fanatics—and impose his most durable legacy on the country. Ossoff also discussed potential limits on aid to Israel, the geopolitical malpractice of the Iran war, and the brazen corruption of the Trump family’s overseas business deals. Plus, Luke Thomas explains the links between MMA and Trump world, the UFC’s key role in rehabilitating Trump after Jan 6, and the sportswashing behind the upcoming fights at the White House. Extra bonus: Tim weighs in on the Maine Senate race. Sen. Jon Ossoff and Morning Kombat host Luke Thomas join Tim Miller. Be the hope around the corner — in your neighborhood, nationwide.

Anyone involved or supervising an 11 mo seashell investigation should be fired for gross ineptitude.

Janet Mills made the right decision but people shouldn't forget she was a fighter. She defied Trump on transgender athletes, to his face, in front of a bunch of other governors. "I'll see you in court." And she did.

I listened for 43 minutes. I WILL vote for him if he runs. We need whatever he is. He’s serious. He’s not boring. He’s not afraid. I like him.
