McConnell abdicates any responsibility for where the party he leads has brought the country. Truly no shame.

SCOTUS immunity argument:

Breaking: David Pecker says Michael Cohen didn't have authorization 'to buy or acquire or spend any money' on Karen McDougal's story 'without Mr. Trump’s approval.'

This should be the end of it, right?

Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assassinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?

John Sauer: 'That could well be an official act.'

The RNC's senior counsel for election integrity was indicted today in Arizona for election conspiracy and fraud.

You can't make this up.
