New York prosecutors trying to convict Donald Trump for falsifying business records face a formidable challenge: They have to convince a jury to trust the word of a convicted perjurer. The credibility of Michal Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, dominated the fifth week of the former President’s trial. Cohen’s testimony lies at the heart of the charges that Trump allegedly directed a scheme to hide hush-money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election and lied on business forms to conceal campaign finance violations.

There's a contractor at the end of my street who raised various Trump flags during the Cheeto's reign of incompetence. When Biden was elected, he raised one of the classics: "Fuck Biden And Anyone Who Voted For Him."

Trump shouldn't be speaking in public, much less running to be leader of the free world (though, should he win, it'd be leader of the kinda, sometimes free world at best, totalitarian America at worst).

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell opened a new front in his battle to shape the Trump-era GOP this week when he torched Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and called out Republicans who have sought to boost the far-right strongman,” Punchbowl News reports. “Fresh off his victory on Ukraine aid, McConnell is making clear he isn’t finished trying to blunt what he sees as a dangerous foreign policy doctrine taking hold in the Republican Party under Donald Trump.”
