Mike Pence urges Senate Republicans to reject RFK Jr. for Health & Human Services secretary
The blackballed ex-vice president rejoined the conversation, albeit uninvited, and pleaded with Republicans to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next Health & Human Services secretary. But before you go wondering if Pence has suddenly found something resembling a moral compass, his reasoning is entirely predictable: Kennedy is pro-choice. Pence most certainly is not. RFK Jr.'s certifiably nutty views on vaccines and other conspiratorial musings aren't the problem, mind you. It's Kennedy's unforgivable opinion that a woman should have the right to make important medical decisions for herself. Noted, Mike. Don't you have somewhere irrelevant to be?

Thank you Kamala! Now we fight back
MoveOn: Vice President Kamala Harris had 107 days to unite the Democratic Party and launch her campaign for president. She made history as the first Black and South Asian woman to secure a major political party’s nomination. And her groundbreaking campaign was carried by Black women and other women of color leaders who came out en masse to donate, organize, volunteer, and vote. We will not allow their sacrifices, efforts, and hope be erased in this darkness. Add your name to say thank you and that you will keep fighting!

"War on the verge of breaking out": Trump allies fume over possible new Senate GOP hires
Donald Trump’s team — convinced that the Senate GOP campaign arm and its top allied super PAC are hiring “Never Trumpers” for key roles — is preparing to launch its own super PAC to compete in the next round of Senate races in 2026, according to two close allies of the president-elect. The plan, if carried out, would upend the party’s traditional method of competing in Senate races and could cause major discord among powerful GOP financial players — pitting Trump and his new regime against longtime GOP donors seeking to influence competitive Senate races. The move would disperse money across multiple entities and kneecap the Senate Leadership Fund, a group that was created to be a centralized GOP clearinghouse for Senate spending. There’s a “brewing war on the verge of breaking out” between Trump’s team and the traditional institutions that play in Senate races, said one person close to Trump, explaining that the heads of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and SLF “should reflect current leadership and the future, not the past.”

Matt Gaetz apparently fed Trump ridiculous Joe Scarborough murder conspiracy
The accused sex trafficker Donald just tapped to lead the frickin' Department of Justice once visited then-President Trump at the Oval Office with a folder full of "printed out conspiracy theories" about Joe Scarborough, prompting a crazed, days-long tweet spree by the MAGA cult leader, dragging the MSNBC host through miles of mud. Good to know the nation's largest law enforcement agency will be in such discerning, reputable hands, assuming Trump's cronies in the Senate confirm the former congressman for the post.

"Nuts on a lot of fronts": New York Post condemns Kennedy pick to lead HHS
The Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post came out swinging AGAINST Trump's bonkers pick to lead to lead the Dept. of Health & Human Services. The right-wing editorial board slammed Kennedy, calling the secretary-designate "nuts on a lot of fronts." That is one way to put it. Looking forward to the MAGA cult leader's measured and super-presidential response to this not-so-subtle rebuke from a top ally.
