A little story from Jon Stewart about his meeting with Mike Lee when Stewart was trying to get the Senate to renew the 9/11 First Responder bill funding:

Good luck with that.

Persian-Americans are one of the wealthiest immigrant groups in America and they donate to both parties.

All of these people realized they could rise to power by exploiting support for Trump.

He is an avatar for thousands of men and women who are cashing in on the hate and grift.

Pat Buchanan had a line years ago about the elected people who go to DC. He said people go to Washington to do good and then stay on and do well.

At the time it was a dig but these days I yearn for those garden variety pols to come back.

^Without Pat Buchanan, of course.

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/20/ed-artau-trump-judge-nomination-florida-00415408

A Florida state judge was lobbying for a seat on the federal bench. After he sided with the president in a defamation case, Donald Trump gave him one.

Ed Artau, now a nominee to be a district court judge in Florida, met with staff in the office of Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott to angle for the nomination less than two weeks after Trump’s election last fall, according to a new Senate disclosure obtained by POLITICO. In the midst of his interviews, Artau was part of a panel of judges that ruled in Trump’s favor in the president’s case against members of the Pulitzer Prize Board.

About two weeks after the court published his opinion — which called for the overturning of a landmark Supreme Court case that made it harder for public officials to sue journalists — he interviewed with the White House Counsel’s Office. In May, Trump announced his nomination to the federal judiciary.

He first tried in 2023 when Biden was in office.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced a constitutional amendment in the Senate on Wednesday to cap the Supreme Court at nine justices, in a bid to squash the desire among some Democrats to expand the bench and dilute the current conservative majority.

And again in 2025:

But just like a stopped clock shows the right time twice a day, Ted does have a good idea here... although he's grandfathering the limitation so that it doesn't apply to him.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Congressman Ralph Norman, R-S.C., leading the charge have introduced a constitutional amendment in both the Senate and the House that aims to limit U.S. Senators to two six-year terms and U.S. Representatives to three two-year terms. The proposed amendment would not apply retroactively to current members of Congress; rather, the clock would start ticking once the amendment is enacted.

Uh oh. Gym Jordan is not going to be happy.

Why did it take 4 years for this to come out?

The nihilism of the GOP is stunning. They don't even bother to hide it any more.
