Sen. Bernie Moreno Doesn't 'Know' if Embattled Rep. Max Miller Should Stay on Ballot
The senator’s daughter accused Miller of domestic violence. Miller denies the allegations, but they’re making his reelection race tighter.

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on.

Every Republican that appears on weekend cable news programs must be asked if they support their colleague Max Miller who allegedly threw scalding on water on his wife, violent assaulted her and injured his own child. She filed a restraining order. Read the allegations & ask if they support him.

Talarico: When I get tough questions, I answer them. When Ken Paxton gets tough questions, he runs away, literally runs away from reporters, from voters, from anyone asking hard questions. If you've given an Epstein style sweetheart deal to a child predator, you should have to answer questions.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

If Iran has no ships, no air force, no technology and no leaders, as Trump claims, how come the Strait of Hormuz is still blocked? Either the U.S. has a weak military (nope) or Trump is lying his ass off (yep).
When the Fake News says that the Iranian enemy is doing well, Militarily, against us, it’s virtual TREASON in that it is such a false, and even preposterous, statement. They are aiding and abetting the enemy! All it does is give Iran false hope when none should exist. These are American cowards that are rooting against our Country. Iran had 159 ships in their Navy — Every single ship is now resting at the bottom of the sea. They have no Navy, their Air Force is gone, all Technology is gone, their “leaders” are no longer with us, and the Country is an Economic Disaster. Only Losers, Ingrates, and Fools are able to make a case against America! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
