I know Jim Clyburn. He’s sharp as a tack. No one can represent his district as well for the next two years & do as much good for it as he can. Also this argument’s idiotic because a Republican isn’t winning that district when he retires.

Opinion | I Went to Florida to See the 31-Year-Old Candidate Thrilling Gen Z. We’re in Trouble.

These angry, misogynistic, bigoted creeps brought us the current administration of hate. The fact that they now seek power does not bode well for our present or future.

Seems there’s a lot of that “Wishful thinking” going on amongst aggressive world leaders right now.

To people still voting GOP just because you always have:
This is not the Republican Party of 1979. That is LONG dead.
If you seriously consider yourself to be a "conservative" or a "Christian", you would not support Trump, MAGA, nor associate yourself with the GOP.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Ted Lieu: “A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files — the best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as Trump & Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up & release all the Epstein Files as required by law”

Sen. Kelly confirms what was obvious from day one: the Iranian girls school strike was American. The President’s ‘maybe it was Iran’ line was never a theory. It was a cover story.

The moment when IRGC destroyed an oil tanker yesterday.

Two oil tankers (one US owned, one Greek owned) were attacked in Iraqi waters near Bosra yesterday by explosive-laden boats.

51 crew members were rescued, and one Indian crew member died.

I think my favorite quote of the day was Mike Johnson saying that Markwayne Mullin taking over DHS was going to save Republican candidates in the midterms. Dude just needs to keep strategizing exactly like that from now until Nov.

If you lost your job because of DOGE, this will enrage you.

They built a whole-ass crusade around “DEI,” then sent a staffer into a deposition who couldn’t even define it.

Justin Fox’s and his assignment was to help flag grants for elimination based on a term he struggled to explain under oath. 🥴

As my neighbor used to say, “hold onto your panties..this is gonna be a wild ride”! Now’s the time to stand up, be brave, and demand that enough is enough.

Very disappointing, though ultimately unsurprising, to see the DOJ surrender in the middle of the Ticketmaster-LiveNation case after political pressure from the top. Hopefully the states will continue to push to break up a monopoly that should have never been allowed to exist in the first place.

People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?

Every news source other than US News says everything Trump says is not accurate. Stopping short of calling him an outright liar.
