Trump doesn't have court til tomorrow
He has the day off
So far today
He's sitting in his lair screaming about the protesters
Just noise
For now
But imagine what he'd do about this if he had actual power
And then make sure you volunteer to work on the election
Keep. Him. Out.

With the House back in today
There might be some noise about Johnson letting the Ukraine funding bill thru
An MTG attempt to stir MTV commotion
But:
Only Massie & Gosar have said they'd support MTG's move to oust Johnson
So .. just babel
MTG is NOT in MAGA favor
For now, anyway

"Trump is being disingenuous when he “attacks” RFK Jr for being a "left lunatic." He’s really trying to brand RFK Jr as a liberal so Republicans won't see him as a MAGA alternative and Democrats will see him as a liberal alternative.
Don't be fooled. RFK Jr is a #spoiler4trump "

Jost riffed about the cocaine

WHY is a fmr Trump campaign adviser so interested in elevating the protests outside the WHCD last night?
I don't think this is just about Biden v Trump
Or Trump's jealousy about WHCD
Really starting to appear that these people are somehow involved in encouraging/fomenting VIOLENT protests
