here's Bruce Blakeman tonight claiming "I never said that I would cut Medicaid in half" -- immediately followed by a clip of him saying on Fox Business in June that "we make sure we cut Medicaid in half"

Indeed. The Times also described her as a “skeptic” of Trump. What a load of nonsense.

Could not agree more. Sick to death of Susan Collins getting a pass with reporters because Senate leaders allow her to vote “no” when it doesn’t matter to soothe her constituents in Maine.

Three weeks to the election. If Republicans stay true to their selfish interests, they’ll stay home because THIS affects them, and golly gee, they didn’t vote for this when they voted for Trump. Live Update: Soaring Energy Prices Push Inflation Higher www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

When you consider how truly awful *all* of Trump's press secretaries have been, it's a monumental achievement to be his very worst. Well done, Katie Zacharia!

Not to worry, I will. I can’t stand the Barbie-doll MAGA hair these bimbos sport. MAGA is determined that women look like bedroom kittens rather than professionals.
