She was a faithful Trump toady known for nastiness and her serial botching the Epstein scandal. The Donald thanked Bondi for her service and claimed she was leaving for “an important new job in the private sector.” That’s Trump-speak for “lose my number.” Worth remembering: Trump’s first choice for AG was the scandal-ridden Matt Gaetz, the ex-Florida Congressman and current OAN news anchor, who successfully fought charges of sexual misconduct and drug use. Gaetz withdrew himself from consideration...Agree!

His current tour is like ‘No Kings’ central, a chance to bloviate on a nightly basis,” writes Toto. “If you’d rather hear him just sing, better luck next tour. Except at 76, how many tours does The Boss still have in him?”....Watch your back, Gavin Newsom: The Daily Signal has opened a California bureau and assigned three reporters and an editor to keep an eye on the Golden State Governor with presidential ambitions.
