AK Dem Party out with a statement knocking Sullivan for bringing Vance to AK, saying he's "calling up his Lower 48 fellow Ohioan – J.D. Vance – to come bail him out." Sullivan was born and raised in Ohio. When I was in AK last month, several voters grumbled about him being "a carpetbagger."

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) holding a rally in Fairbanks right now -- with JD Vance soon to join -- and so far his hits on Mary Peltola are 1) she said she'd support Chuck Schumer for Senate majority leader 2) she was a mean boss 3) she didn't pass her bills into law in her 1.5 terms in the House.

This is both bad, as it was in 2016, & also it's the only way to get to a grand bargain on SCOTUS reform. Fire with fire. The GOP could've made other choices, & Neil Gorsuch should never have accepted an illegitimate seat. But he did, so here we are. The norms & duct tape have already been shredded.

Openly provoking a foreign adversary to kill millions of Americans is completely unhinged and reckless. Donald Trump is the most dangerous and corrupt president in our nation’s history. The stakes are too high to send him another yes vote from Minnesota.

I cannot emphasize enough how much damage Megyn Kelly has done to women everywhere. Us normal humans are concerned Jane Doe may harm herself. Megyn Kelly thinks being a famous alleged rape victim —with every mouthbreather on Twitter trying to dox and hurt you — is a life highlight.

The headline refers to "exaggerated portrayals of one candidate as a con artist and the other as a drunk"; the article then spends a lot of time detailing a single incident, which has been widely exaggerated beyond all proportion and recognization, and finally turns to Ramaswamy's career exploits, which are by no measure being exaggerated beyond defensible arguments as to their social impact. Why couldn't this article be accurately headlined: In Ugly Fight For Ohio Governor, Exaggeration of Single Personal Incident Is Pitted Against a Plutocrat's Career and Its Consequences. Concerned readers are eager to know.

Faced with outrage over his use of taxpayer money for campaign ads, Trump now says he’ll use his PAC money. Will he pay back the money from ads that already ran? I want proof of what he says, because he’s a lying criminal.
Trump: The Radical Left is upset with the fact that I am taking Ads, which I consider to be a positive promotion for our Great U.S.A., and paying for them with U.S.A. money. This is a rather standard thing to do but, rather than doing that, although nothing will make them happy, I have decided to do the Patriotic Ads, among others, and pay for them myself, and with money I raised for MAGA, Inc. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is doubling down on his claim that he’ll give out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Is it any wonder why? He’s historically unpopular, so much so that some Republican candidates are distancing themselves. He’s terrified of a wipeout in November — and we’re going to deliver one.

Depending on where you shop and what brand you buy, yeah, you can find butter for about $4 a pound. And there are four sticks in a pound. But you can't just buy one stick. You used to be able to, I believe. You could literally take one out of a package. But not no more.

NEWS: Trump personally ordered $10 million in Homeland Security money spent on TV ads promoting himself, and only offered to have his super PAC pay once he got caught. Treating the federal treasury like a personal slush fund isn't a mistake you fix with a refund—it's a crime you get prosecuted for.
