Trump absolutely is on the ballot, if you pull a lever for a republican, you're pulling a lever for him. Don't forget that when you go vote in November.

Ossoff: "When the congressman voted for this Medicaid cuts, the largest in history, he knew that 50% of all births in our state are covered by Medicaid. He still voted for them. And as a result, a labor and delivery unit in his own district had to shut down. He also supports a total ban on abortion"

Sadly, in the world we live in, it's worth reading the Daily Mail to explain why, for example, a dumbass was hired as Press Secretary. Among other things, this is portrayed as "microagression" towards Susie Wiles. Remember when Wiles was going to quit after the election? archive.is/Irvgl
Trump had raised Zacharia's name on several occasions before, a source close to the president said, and Wiles often steered the conversation toward Jennings and other candidates she viewed as loyal to her.
'Susie wanted someone who would be loyal to her and instead Trump chose someone loyal to him, as it should be,' an administration source said.
'Wiles wants people she can control,' another said. 'This is seen as one of many recent microaggressions of Donald to Susie. He is taking back control, and it is starting to feel more like the first term.'
Zacharia intends to build a relationship with Wiles, much as Leavitt did, a source close to the new press secretary added.

When is a dictator most dangerous? When he sees his political magic wearing off. So be optimistic about the midterms, but take nothing for granted. Vote, vote, vote. Pay for truth-telling media. Support voting rights groups. And get set to resist if Trump tries another coup. My latest newsletter.

Today, I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Kimberly Guilfoyle as the United States Ambassador to Greece. For many years, Kimberly has been a close friend and ally. Her extensive experience and leadership in law, media, and politics along with her sharp intellect make her supremely qualified to represent the United States, and safeguard its interests abroad.
 
Kimberly is perfectly suited to foster strong bilateral relations with Greece, advancing our interests on issues ranging from defense cooperation to trade and economic innovation.
 
Congratulations Kimberly!

the president, somewhere over Canada with Natalie and Katie nearby, is engaging in some casual defamation
Why did Ilhan Omar report a Net Worth of up to 30 Million Dollars just a short time ago, and then immediately say, “Oh, I made a mistake! It’s really $100,000.” Could it be that her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota? Would something like that be possible? Do you think the accountant actually gave the right number the first time, 30 Million Dollars, and then she was forced to disavow because she never would have been able to report where that much money came from? She must have freaked out when she saw that money! Where did her house come from, where did her cars come from, and what about her lovely place in Washington, D.C.? I didn’t know that Congressmen and women made that kind of money, but I do know her husband, according to information and belief, makes almost nothing, so it couldn’t have come from him. How many people did she illegally bring into our Country from Somalia? America wants answers, and we want them, NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP
