David Waldman is back to tell it like it is and was.

Eee-Ew! The Jeffrey Epstein birthday book has been released, the Trump-Epstein birthday letter has been revealed, and it's real, it's bad, and it sure is icky, much like many of its participants. Donald was certain that we all agreed the issue killed itself in its cell and was long gone and buried by now, but apparently that isn't the case.

The Trump Supreme Court lifted restrictions on roving patrols and racial profiling on immigration stops, but you better believe they weren't talking about people wearing lederhosen and alpine hats. The Supreme Court also allowed Trump to fire the FTC commissioner, which of course goes against precedent. It would go against precedent to shut the whole place down and walk away, but here we are.

Gops take their tit for tat for tit with Dems to Defcon 2 on Monday. Chuck Schumer tells them they might rue the day that they go Defcon 1… RUE He tells ya! Want to know more about "Discharge Petition No. 9"? Discharge procedure in the House? The travails and tribulations of House Resolution 581? Don't ask me! David knows about all that stuff.

One thing that David did not know is that Missouri Democrats are holding a sit-in to protest a special session to redraw their congressional map. Now we all do!
