Conservatives At Crossroads On Gay Marriage

Jazz saxophone icon David Sanborn passed away today at 78 years old. The multiple Grammy-winning musician died from a long bout with prostate cancer. Sanborn was diagnosed with polio at three years old and explained how the radio and music aided in his recovery. Playing saxophone was an important part of his recovery, according to his official bio, and by the time he was a teenager he was playing alongside blues legends like Albert King and Little Milton.

Fox's Maria Bartiromo helps GOP Sen. Mike Lee promote the Republican's false narrative that migrants crossing the border are going to vote in federal elections in droves and their latest voter suppression attempt based on that narrative. Just like Speaker Mike Johnson, Lee has no proof that this is happening anywhere, but that didn't stop him from pretending people would risk going to prison by voting illegally during his interview this Sunday: BARTIROMO: Let's talk about the bill that you are pushing, the SAVE Act, and I want to get your take on a free and fair election come November.

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday knocked down speculation that his wife, first lady Casey DeSantis, would run to succeed him in 2026,” Politico reports. “The Republican governor insisted at an event in event in Coral Gables that Casey DeSantis, a former television anchor who was a near constant presence on the campaign trail when he ran for president, had “zero” interest in running for governor.”

Politico: “On Monday, after initially — briefly — shifting in his chair and rolling his eyes as Cohen took the stand, the former president promptly restrained himself. For hours, Trump took in the testimony with his eyes shut, nearly reactionless, moving only occasionally to scratch an itch, whisper or pass a note to his attorney, read a document or glance at the computer monitor in front of him before going back to his shut-eye pose.” “Across the room, Cohen, the state’s top witness, was seeking to make the case against the former president, calmly delivering his testimony as the district attorney’s office, but not yet Trump’s lawyers, questioned him extensively about his years-long role as a personal attorney and fixer for Trump.”

New York Times: “Hogan knows that his side of the party — what he calls ‘the Republican wing of the Republican Party’ — lost that battle. He knows that many of his fellow Never Trumpers have lost re-election, decided to retire or changed their tune. And he is running for Senate anyway, gearing up for a fierce battle that will test whether there is any path forward for anti-Trump Republicans seeking federal office in 2024.” Said Hogan: “I do feel a little bit like I’m running toward the burning building.”

Week 4 of testimony in Donald Trump's first criminal trial (of 4) started off with the most anticipated - and volatile - witness: Michael Cohen. Fully prepared and clearly ready for the day, Cohen was cool, calm and collected, delivering devastating testimony that rebuts most, if not all, of Donald Trump's defenses.
