As Id Laws Fall, Voters See New Barriers Rise

Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel had a lot of GOP chicanery from the weekend to cover during his Monday night monologue. He touched base on Donald Trump’s hush money trial, the “privately” held meeting he had with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the fruitless messaging of Trump’s progeny, Trump’s anxiety over losing some of his wacky voters to Robert F.

Marjorie Taylor Greene may get her wish by having Mike Johnson step down as Speaker of the House in the near future. Speaker Hakeem Jeffries has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Democratic state Sen. Tim Kennedy won a special election in New York's 26th Buffalo-based district to serve the rest of Brian Higgins' term.

A local TV anchor for Detroit's WJBK-TV tried to pin Donald Trump down for a source over the former President's claim about crime statistics in Venezuela. The anchor, Roop Raj, asked Trump for a source over his repeated claim of why there has been a 72 percent reduction in crime in the last year in Venezuela.

Julie Green is out with another off-the-wall prophecy and it's a doozy. As Conover has written before, "To say that MAGA Prophet Julie Green is a thoroughly ridiculous person is putting it mildly -- but apparently, she has some dedicated Q-inspired listeners who find her credible." JULIE GREEN: My children, you are about to see biblical-type plagues strike some of your enemies, even on their faces. Boils will be seen. See who was infected by them. See how they will try to explain it away. But know your enemies are very afraid, just as they were in Egypt. Watch as you have read in my word, and now you will see plagues in your time, to show you I am still the same God, and I still deliver my people from the enemy. Stay with the Lord. Green is channeling the movie The Ten Commandments and all her enemies are Yul Brynner.read more

Judging just by the look on Trump's face, he's as puzzled by this one as the rest of us. If I had to guess, I'd say it was Tyra Banks or maybe Chrissy Teigen. Or perhaps another porn star that Trump slept with while Melania was pregnant. Some very clever satire here, as that is Gary Petersen but is a reworked picture from another Trump artist, Al Manica.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton claimed that it is legitimate to attempt to prosecute Barack Obama over his acts as President if Trump's bizarre immunity claim fails at the Supreme Court. Another day and another effort to defend Donald Trump from any and all prosecutions and criminal acts. Q: Attorney General Paxton, on the off chance that the Supreme Court comes back and does not say presidents are immune from official acts, do you think your administration would pursue charges against, say, Barack Obama for the drone strikes and murdering of three American citizens? Paxton: Yeah, so every state's different.
