Ron Johnson Torn Between His Two Great Loves: Trump And Money

Senator Ron Johnson went on TV to discuss the wisdom behind Dear Leader's tariffs with Chris Stewart. Note how RoJo's fealty to The Orange Felon is starting to waiver ever so slightly when it comes to his precious money: CHRIS STEWART: Senator, you ran a manufacturing business* for years in Wisconsin. I assume that's what sort of informed some of your skepticism about the effectiveness of tariffs as a long-term economic policy. Am I picking something up there?

Not Just Donuts: JD Vance Clumsy With Football Trophy

Wanna watch the historically unpopular vice president embarrass himself? Of course you do! JD Vance is especially good at embarrassing himself by being awkward and weird and just generally bad at stuff. He did on a recent trip to Greenland, where he showed how bad he is at diplomacy. His own family clowns on him. He dragged Donald "America's Hitler" Trump about a million times, over many years, and then became his No. 1 ass-kisser.

Jimmy Kimmel Has A Field Day With Trump's Latest Quack Doctor

Ronnie Jackson may be long gone, but apparently there is no shortage of lying sycophants to take his place. As we discussed here, our oldest sitting "president" had a physical that lasted around 5 hours this week, and he has to go back for a follow-up colonoscopy, but that didn't stop Trump from once again bragging the quack doctor who took Jackson's place on the so-called results from his latest exam.

Primary Time Is For Picking The Best Candidate, Not The Lesser Evil-- Meet Emily Berge

WI-03, a swing district in western and central Wisconsin, includes 19 counties. In 2016, when independent progressive Bernie Sanders faced off against the moderate establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton, he won every single county in the congressional district, and none were close. The voters knew what they were looking for. Hillary didn't even hit 40% in any of the big blue ones. Last cycle, Blue America endorsed Berniecrat Eric Wilson for the seat. He isn't running again this year and recently he told us about Emily Berge, Eau Claire City Council president, de facto mayor and, since 2023, president of the League of Wisconsin Municipalities.

Stephen Miller Melts Down While Lying About Kilmar Garcia

More "alternative facts" from this administration. What do they do when things don't go their way and the Supreme Court rules unanimously against them? Just flat out lie about it, of course. The Trump administration is defying the courts after the Supreme Court ruled they needed to "facilitate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return after he was illegally deported to be tortured in El Salvador, but you'd never know that listening to Trump advisor Stephen Miller's meltdown on Fox this Monday:
