The narrative that Dems are desperate is ridiculous. The GOP has to play defense on blood red states like Iowa, Kansas, Alaska, and Texas. The beta schtick isn’t working. Paxton is dodging a debate on Fox with Talarico and El-Sayed is consolidating support in Michigan.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.

I was just reading that Eric Schmitt was a possible front-runner to be JD Vance’s running mate in 2028, and based on his smug, boorish, obnoxious, and idiotic performance today he seems like a perfect fit for Vance.

OMG: Republican Senator Schmitt accused Jack Smith of being in ATL to conspire with Fani Willis b/c he got a text from JP Cooney about a “Hawks” game (Falcons?). Schmitt had a big visual aid but didn’t keep it up long. BUT smith was at an IOWA HAWKEYES game to see Caitlin Clark in Maryland HAHAHA

I agree with you Marjorie about the Republican Party. And since you believe the GOP is the threat it is and that every Republican at the federal level must lose, can I assume you’ll be voting for Democrats this year, the only party that can defeat Republicans?

Sen. Amy Klobuchar just confirmed: Iowa played Maryland in College Park, MD. That's the basketball game Jack Smith seems to have attended. Atlanta was not involved. Republican Eric Schmitt claimed Smith went to a game in Atlanta so he could also meet with Fani Willis' team. It appears Schmitt lied.

There’s no way Andrew Bailey quit his position as AG of Missouri expecting to serve as a co-Deputy FBI Director under Kash Patel. He was either given assurances that Kash was going to be gone soon and he would get the gig, or he thought that on his own. Anyway, good riddance.
