CNN's Kara Scannell describes the dramatic moment in the Trump hush money trial where Judge Juan Merchan briefly cleared the courtroom after a tense exchange with Costello over his behavior on the stand.
Texas Rep. Drunky McDrunkerson is confused again. Former President Donald Trump, not Biden, is on trial right now for interfering in the election. And it's Trump, not Biden, who blatantly weaponized the governmental agencies while he was in office. Rep. Ronny Jackson is the least self-aware person in Trump's orbit, and that's saying a lot.
"I came because I'm a long time supporter of President Trump," Drunky said.
On the list of most populous states, North Dakota comes in at 47. Even its neighbor to the south, governed by puppy-slaying Kristi Noem, has a greater population of people—and voters.

Look who's got a crush on far-right authoritarian Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. There are things the United States should learn from Hungary, like not following the same path they have with putting someone like Orban in power, but not this nonsense.
Here's Vance doubling down on his praise for Orban during an interview on this Sunday's Face the Nation:
MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to ask you about some of the things you've said about American universities.
Trump's NRA speech on Saturday was marred by insane rantings and unexplained long pauses when the orange disgrace claims he's been better for Black Americans than Abraham Lincoln tops the list.
This isn't the first time he's tried to compare himself to Lincoln, and even the great MLK, but it's just as sickening as it ever was.
What type of man would do such a thing?
