If you're still caucusing with the Republican Party as an independent (which is what he's doing), then that means you're still a Republican
In a stunning upset, Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard unseated Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson by record margins — installing Democrats on Georgia’s Public Service Commission for the first time in more than 20 years.
Stephen Miller is a fascist promoting a dictatorship. He's an offputting creep, too – the GOP's Dr. Evil. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he's a “big problem” for Trump. But that's true only if Democrats take advantage and tie Miller to Republicans in the midterms.

Another week, another devastating fire in Glasgow, resulting in the sad loss of the B listed Forsyth House (1851) on Union Street. Architectural heritage is irreplaceable - whether 20th century or any other period. Attitudes towards the care and maintenance of our historic buildings must change.
You gotta love how North Carolina elects a Democratic governor but not the people who would help him get anything done.

(🚨) EXCLUSIVE: The Secret War Between Jared Kushner and Jeffrey Epstein Led to Epstein’s Death—and the Second Iran War
This book-length work acts as Book 4 of the 1200-pg. epic PROOF OF DEVILRY—a Proof Series entry that’s the most expansive journalistic enterprise related to Epstein ever published.
If Epstein had never been caught then there is a 100% likelihood that Epstein would be hired at either Bari’s fake university or Bari’s fake CBS News

33 of the J6ers that Donald Trump has pardoned have been re-arrested.
Not a single US citizen was shot by ICE under Joe Biden.
23 American citizens have been shot at by ICE under Donald Trump. 8 have been hit, 3 have died.
Abolish ICE is the moderate position.

Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph — but NOT America’s leading newspapers?
WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “This war polls at 19% among independents… best case scenario is MAYBE there will be new leadership, but we don’t know who it is. That’s crazy. It’s like we’ll bomb them 4 more weeks and hope something good happens. Good luck.”
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
Self-described "bounty hunters" driving a fake company van pulled a weapon on observers in downtown Minneapolis yesterday. As usual, the loyal ICE lapdogs of Hennepin County were useless, asking folks to submit a form online, despite many eyewitnesses on-scene they could simply listen to.
Bernard Kruger, one of the doctors who worked with Jeffrey Epstein, has stepped down from the Atria Health & Research Institute and and is on leave from Sollis Health pending an investigation.
