From bad votes to mudslinging. Political career of spineless Louisiana GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy MD continues to swirl down the toilet

 
Dr. Bill is chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). He voted to confirm RFKjr as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He values his personal political survival over public health.
 
On February 21, 2021, Cassidy voted to convict Trump on a single article of impeachment, and he's been groveling for an endorsement at the altar of Trump every since.  

It was NEVER going to happen, Bill.

Greg LaRose reports on the panic in the BCMD camp:
The spot slamming Letlow says she voted for the Biden administration’s agenda more often than any other Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives and that she failed to disclose hundreds of stock trades before a required deadline for congressional candidates. 
Letlow’s work before she was elected to Congress is also targeted in the ad, which accuses her of approving “radical DEI policies” during her time as an administrator at the University of Louisiana Monroe. 
Robert Collins, a political analyst and public policy professor at Dillard University, pointed to private polling that already shows Letlow with an edge over Cassidy. He anticipated the Cassidy camp would mount an offensive against Letlow but said he didn’t expect it would be so harsh or so soon.

Headline:  New York Times 2/6/2026

Erica L. Green, Isabella Kwai, and Zolan Kanno-Youngs report on the kind of lame, deflecting excuse an 8-year-old would give his parents:
The clip, set to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” was spliced near the end of a 62-second video that promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and was among a flurry of links posted by Mr. Trump late Thursday night. It was the latest in a pattern by Mr. Trump of promoting offensive imagery and slurs about Black Americans and others. 
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Friday, Mr. Trump said he only saw the beginning of the video. “I just looked at the first part, it was about voter fraud in some place, Georgia,” Mr. Trump said. “I didn’t see the whole thing.” 
He then tried to deflect blame, suggesting he had given the link to someone else to post. “I gave it to the people, generally they’d look at the whole thing but I guess somebody didn’t,” he told reporters. [emphasis added]

MISCREANT PREACHERS: Sexual assault of a teen in the Name of the Lord (#240 of a series)

 
Mugshot and headline:  KOFW, 2/4/2026

Amber Kite reports:
Reymundo Almaraz was taken into custody after multiple members of the public identified him as the suspect in the assault at the TruFit gym located near 82nd Street and Slide Road. 
Police records show that officers were dispatched to the gym around 10 p.m. on June 30. When they arrived, investigators learned the victim, a 17-year-old male, was on his way to the hospital for treatment. 
The teenager told investigators he was at the gym working out with his girlfriend when he went to the locker room to use the restroom.\ 
While waiting for a stall, the victim reported seeing Almaraz in his underwear, appearing to watch or record another teenager in the locker room. 
The teenager told investigators he was at the gym working out with his girlfriend when he went to the locker room to use the restroom. While waiting for a stall, the victim reported seeing Almaraz in his underwear, appearing to watch or record another teenager in the locker room. 
According to the police report, the situation escalated after the victim entered a bathroom stall. Almaraz allegedly entered the adjacent stall, repeatedly placed his leg under the partition, and demanded to be let into the victim’s stall. 
The victim told police that after he eventually exited the stall, Almaraz cornered him in a dressing room, blocked the door with a chair, and locked it. The report states Almaraz held the teenager in place, made several sexual demands, and sexually assaulted him.
