Trump allies are already working against the new front-runner for House speaker
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer has emerged as the next contestant on "The Price is Right" third candidate to be speaker-designee for the GOP, but there’s a very large, very loud Donald Trump-shaped obstacle standing in his way. MAGA minions in the media started blitzing Emmer with bruising attacks over the weekend, hoping to derail his House speakership bid before it can truly begin, all while boasting that the serially indicted ex-president agrees with them.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Floodgates open as another top Trump ally flips, pleads guilty
Ex-Trump lawyer and co-conspirator Kenneth Chesebro took a plea deal with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and has apparently become a cooperating witness against the disgraced ex-president and others in the expansive and incredibly damning election theft case.

Judge KOs more Trump attempts to stop Colorado 2024 ballot suit
The serially indicted man of many lawsuits has repeatedly tried to kill one particularly pesky case seeking to block him from the presidential primary ballot in Colorado — and he keeps losing. Judge Sarah Wallace rejected his latest efforts, issuing a scathing assessment of his flimsy legal arguments.

It's a debt-exploding ruse that punishes the overwhelming majority of Americans, generation after generation. Always has been, always will be.
