'He's no longer a sitting president': Merrick Garland gets grilled about why he's not prosecuting Trump

Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) grilled Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday because the Department of Justice has not indicted former President Donald Trump.

The Department of Justice did nothing to Nixon about Watergate, or to Reagan/Bush about Iran/Contra or GW Bush/Cheney lying us into the Iraq War. No wonder Trump wants to be president again, he knows he can do whatever he wants.

Oh, oh, but the Department of Justice did provide hundreds of FBI agents to investigate the Clintons while he was president.

Next Trump will sue the US Constitution. - Jeremy Newberger

Meghan McCain Burns Her ABC Bridge

Former co-host of "The View," Meghan McCain alleged that there was a toxic work environment at her ABC show because Joy Behar said she didn't miss McCain while she was on maternity leave.

... ABC is pushing back on McCain's claims, with sources telling the site that the network is furious about her new "tell-all" memoir that trashes the show.

"We're told there are many points of dissent -- for instance, ABC execs say the notion Meghan left on her own volition is wrong, and ditto for her claim everybody except her was oozing toxicity," said the report.

Many thanks to Meghan's hairstylist for entertaining us all these years!

Five of Sen. Sinema's Staff Resigns

Five military veterans on Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's advisory board resigned from their roles this week, slamming the Arizona Democrat as one of the "principal obstacles to progress."

In a letter to Sinema, the veterans expressed frustration with her refusal to change the Senate filibuster to protect voting rights, failure to support prescription drug negotiations, her opposition to parts of the Democrats' sweeping budget reconciliation package that make up President Joe Biden's agenda and criticized her for not voting on the January 6 commission.

What do you call a system in which 41 Republican Senators, representing just 21% of the population, can stop voting rights legislation backed by 70% of Americans?
