Putin Rolls Back Protege's Modest Liberal Legacy

Fox's Brian Kilmeade accidentally allowed former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to take apart one of Republicans key talking points for impeaching Joe Biden during his One Nation show this weekend. As we've discussed here over and over again, Fox has continually pushed the nothingburger that Biden supposedly pressured the corrupt former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin as an excuse to demand Republicans begin an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, and it got so bad over there last month that they actually gave nearly three hours of coverage for Shokin himself to push more of his hoax-premised claims against Biden. Well, this weekend, Kilmeade apparently screwed the pooch and allowed Poroshenko to shoot a bunch of holes into all that hard work his network has been doing trying to go after Biden and help their buddy Trump get back into the White House. Don't expect the interview above to be replayed anywhere else on Fox.

Charlie Kirk has read the writing on the wall. The Republican Party is going to lose because of the abortion issue. And he's fine with claiming "Donald Trump has done enough for evangelical anti-choicers."

Trump is urging Republicans to stop automatic voter registration in Pennsylvania, saying it will hurt GOP candidates in the state, including him in next year’s presidential election. So the more people vote, the smaller his margin? Yes, please! Via The Hill: “Pennsylvania is at it again! The Radical Left Governor, Josh Shapiro, has just announced a switch to Automatic Voter Registration, a disaster for the Election of Republicans, including your favorite President, ME!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Monday.

Hunter Biden filed a civil lawsuit today against Rudy Giuliani and his former attorney, claiming they caused “total annihilation” of his digital privacy and violated federal and state computer privacy laws through their alleged efforts to hack his devices. Via CNN: In the lawsuit filed in federal court in California, Hunter Biden accuses Giuliani and Robert Costello of spending years “hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from” his devices. “Plaintiff has demanded Defendants Giuliani and Costello cease their unlawful activities with respect to Plaintiff’s data and return any data in their possession belonging to Plaintiff, but they have refused to do so,” attorneys for Hunter Biden wrote in the lawsuit.

Morning Joe decided it was time to stop tiptoeing around Trump's incoherence. "First, there's a lot of discussion about President Biden's age and whether or not he seems to be slipping at all, whether he is still up for the job. There was a moment last week where eyebrows were raised.

Cassidy Hutchinson joined Rachel Maddow on Monday night to discuss her new book, "Enough." Poised as always, she recounted many new stories about Mark Meadows (he sounds frantic and crazy), Donald Trump (even crazier than we thought) and all the creepers who hit on her (Rudy and MATT GAETZ). The last part of the interview was the gross part - Matt Gaetz.
