Trump turns totally toxic for Europe’s far right “Proximity with the United States in the current context did not go down well with Hungarian voters,” said a senior official from France’s National Rally party.

The far right can show a level of stupidity that defies the imagination. The European right tried to hitch their star to the con artist rapist and it burned them. Someone should have warned them about #ETTD. Go figure.

Why Trump Will Be Removed From Office Sooner Than You Think George Conway, the former GOPer turned Trump critic who’s running for Congress as a Democrat, lays out his case that Republicans will have no choice but to remove the president before his term ends.

On the pod, @gtconway.bsky.social lays out accountability agenda if Dems win House:

*Impeach Trump and top officials
*Criminal referrals to DOJ
*25th Amendment commission
*Fix Impoundment Act
*Codify DOJ independence

There's much more here. It's a good discussion:
