Have we fore gotten the the Mueller SCO went after Trump, his family, friends, business associates, political allies, etc, all in search of a person who would cooperate and link Trump to Russia.
The lawfare tends to get overshadowed by Jack Smith.
But Mueller had 20 prosecutors and caused dozens of people to incur millions in legal fees all based on a hoax that they knew was a hoax 3 months after taking over.
Good riddance.
Hello Politico,
You’ve published 1,500+ words about Senator Mike Lee and the SAVE America Act. Your headline conditioned the reader what to think before the first paragraph: "This is about attention." Your sourcing: five anonymous Republican senators, and a section titled "Leadership ambitions?" whose only function is to ensure the reader leaves believing Lee is just putting on a performance.
The SAVE America Act requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. It passed the House 218-213. The President called it his "#1 priority." Harvard CAPS/Harris found in February 2026 that 75% of Americans support it.
Your article does not contain the phrase "proof of citizenship." It does not mention any polling. It barely has any policy analysis. You have to remove the substance for the false personality smears to land.
Now let’s examine the real reason you wrote this hit job.
In January 2021, three of your staff left and founded Punchbowl News. They took your model with them. Then Jake Sherman said something you never have: on a podcast, he described Punchbowl's revenue as "nearly 90%" from corporate sponsorships." The documented sponsors include PhRMA, ExxonMobil, JPMorgan, Meta, and the American Investment Council.
Turns out, you have the exact same sponsors. PhRMA pays for Politico Focus branded content. JPMorgan Chase is a Politico Focus client. The American Investment Council is a Politico Focus client. Meta sponsors your shows. You have Politico Pro, which charges K Street $10,000 to $30,000 a year for legislative intelligence — and accounted for approximately half your revenue as of 2015, with a 93% renewal rate. Your subscriber base is the lobbying community. They are also your subject matter.
The same corporations fund both outlets. The same K Street audience reads both outlets. And both outlets produce the same framing: leadership is realistic, insurgent senators are attention-seekers, the SAVE Act has "almost no chance." Punchbowl's Andrew Desiderio wrote that. Your Jordain Carney wrote that Lee "doesn't have a realistic path." Two outlets, same sponsors, same audience, same conclusion.
Your own article admits, buried below 1,500 words of anonymous attacks: Lee's pressure produced an open-ended floor debate "next to unheard-of in the modern Senate" and moved Chuck Schumer to concede ground on voter ID. You framed both as asides.
An anonymous senator told you Lee's motivation is "the clicks." Lee does midnight livestreams explaining his position to anyone who wants to listen. Your anonymous senators called Politico. Your alumni left, built the same thing, and told the world what it was.
You never had to. The article does it for you.
Like @PunchbowlNews, you are a K Street sham, Politico. You should have all your Capitol press credentials revoked, because your entire existence is one giant violation of undisclosed lobbying restrictions.
I reached out to a handful of ICE agents to gauge their reaction to President Trump pitching putting them at airports to work security. Responses: 👇🏻
“Love it.”
“Genius. We serve at the behest…”
“Lots of illegals at airports”.
“🤭”
“I would actually love that”.
“Ah f**k”.
With for sale signs, construction work, and rentals surrounding her, Nancy was basically gift-wrapped for a predator. The data proves it.
We’re almost two months in to the case of Nancy Guthrie, who was ripped out of her home in the middle of the night by a masked man who’s still roaming the streets.
The sheriff who was in charge of the investigation released the crime scene WAY too early, stiff-armed the FBI’s world-class Quantico lab, missed two cameras on the property, never took the doormat the suspect was walking all over, and never took the bracket for the Google Nest Door Camera. Now, he’s facing lawsuits, recalls, and no confidence votes, and thinks he can escape it all because he’s never been held accountable for anything.
Meanwhile, we have no clothing description, no BOLOS for vehicles, nothing. Zilch. And people are doing their best to keep this story alive for Nancy despite the sheriff’s best efforts to make it go away.
It’s not going away. Poor Nancy! 😭 💔
Usually when there's a story about stools being thrown it involves gorillas at the zoo.
This time its an animal far more savage.
This time its a bachelorette.
Look Cesar Chavez was a horrible individual, mistreated workers in his "movement", and allegations of abuse of women and girls have been around forever, yet the LEFT made him a political icon anyway.
Now they're all feigning shock and outrage at these allegations from decades ago? Now these women's allegations and accusations are taken as gospel?
Good grief.
