Brown praised Ryan as a thoughtful and serious leader on budgetary issues, but was quick to point out that he voted twice to block consideration of Ryan’s budget in the Senate.

    Day 3 of testimony from Michael Cohen continued today! The cross examination started mid-day on Tuesday and we fully expected it to wrap up today, but it did not! So Cohen will be back on the stand on Monday at 9:30am. Hopefully it wraps up at that point and we can get to redirect and then the defense case. As of the writing of this summary post, the defense has alluded to the fact that they may have two witnesses.

    On Real America's Voice, controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accidentally told the truth, and the Democrats should use this as an ad against Republicans. Thanks, Marge!

    BoBo is having such a lousy day that even Rep. Rapey McForehead left her standing there alone. Republicans lined up to attend Donald Trump's criminal trial, and Rep. Lauren Boebert's son, Tyler, attended court by himself. And I'm sure the jury noticed that, once again, the defendant's wifebot was not by his side.

    On Fox and Friends earlier this morning, the trifecta of Trump propagandists discussed the upcoming presidential debates and the fate of poor, defenseless RFK Junior. The rabid vaccine denier and brainworm victim isn't eligible to be on the debate stage, but Fox News is still trying to use him against Biden. Enter Lawrence Jones. "Well, it looks like the person that's mostly blocking it is Joe Biden," he said.
